Chinese Jade Bangle

Creamy ring with a rusty web of veins running through it.

This jade bangle is from China, and dates to the 19th century. Jade bangles are generally worn on the wrist, and in Chinese tradition jade is often associated with good fortune and protection. Smooth, rounded bangle with a thick, slightly domed profile. The stone is milky yellow-beige with a net of orange-red veins, and the polish is soft and even all the way around. It is 3 inches in diameter.

Smooth as a river pebble, and about as modest.
