About the Item
This hand-carved bangle is not jadeite or nephrite. It's made of antigorite. Which is a sub-species of serpentine. Serpentine has been carved into decorative objects and jewelry for centuries. Serpentine is not rare, like jadeite or nephrite. And yet? Search online for an antigorite bangle and I suspect you won't find another one.
I was drawn to this bangle by it's incredibly soft texture. At 3.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it's less than half as hard as jade. And about the same hardness as malachite.
The combination of high polish, silken texture, high translucency and fascinating stone grain, make this such a fascinating and -to me- beautiful bangle.
The inner diameter is 66mm, so it will fit a medium to almost-large size wrist. There are plenty of tutorials online to help you determine your correct bangle size.
A not-so-rare stone transformed into a surprisingly rare and beautiful jewel.

From the "Things You Don't See Every Day or Even Every Other Day" shelf of my store is this exotic hand-carved bangle. At first glance, it might appear to be a jade bangle. But on second glance it has rubies mashed-up with the green so it can't be jade. And it's not: it is "ruby in zoisite...

Carved Jade Ring Bi-Color Highly Translucent Certified Untreated
Located in Southbury, CT
This is a highly translucent hand-carved new jadeite jade ring. It's a masterpiece of subtle and lapidary skill. The green face has been carved with a chamfered edge that gives this centuries-old style of ring a decidedly modern aesthetic.
The ring displays extraordinary translucency. If it was entirely colorless and this translucency was the ring's primary feature, it would be a stunning and worthy jewel. But it is not colorless. The jade is bi-color: fresh, light green and yellow. The combination of strong lines and soft colors make this a stunningly unique ring.
It's like wearing captured light on your finger. Jadeite is a highly durable gem and this is a ring you can actually wear every day. I have another nearly a century old and it shows no sign of wear at all.
For the jade purist, this is the ideal: no gold, no diamonds...
