Bracelet styles with rich meanings
Warm wishes for "a smooth, satisfying and safe life"
1. Bracelet
It is a classic style of bracelet. The outer and inner rings are both round bars and arcs. Because the circles are full and full, they have beautiful meanings, so they are called blessing bracelets. The lucky bracelet is made of thick material, which especially shows its luxurious temperament.
2. Peace bracelet
The peace bracelet has an arc-shaped outer ring and a flat inner ring, which means peace. This design allows the bracelet to fit the arm and prevent it from slipping when worn. It is popular because it is suitable for daily wear and is now a mainstream style.
3. Royal concubine bracelet
The imperial concubine bracelet is an oval-shaped bracelet, full of feminine temperament. According to legend, it can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty and was the favorite worn by Concubine Yang. The oval-shaped imperial concubine bracelet fits the arm better than the round one and is less likely to collide when worn. However, the imperial concubine bracelet requires a more precise ring edge. If there is a small error in the size, it may not be able to be worn. Once you find one that fits your hand and like it, you can grab it.
Jade Color
The origin of the name Jadeite comes from the name of the bird. The male's feathers are red and are called jade birds. The female's feathers are green and are called kingfishers. Therefore, they are collectively called "Jadeite". It can be seen that jadeite is not just green.
It is often said that the green of jadeite is ever-changing, and its charm lies in its endless colors, which show all kinds of beauty with different textures.
In the collection market, green jadeite is the top grade, including imperial green, bright green, lake green, etc. In addition, jadeite also comes in violet, orange, red, white and ink tones, with colorful and layered colors.
Common jade color names are:
"Full green": The whole bracelet is green. The more symmetrical and rich the bracelet, the higher the price.
"Yang Green": bright and full true green, widely loved and highly valued when designed into various jewelry.
"Spring Color": refers to a bracelet with purple jade and green jade at the same time, bringing a pleasant and colorful atmosphere like spring, making it elegant and elegant when worn.
"Fu Lu Shou": It means that this bracelet has three colors, such as green, yellow and white, which embodies rich auspiciousness and full blessing.
"Fu Lu Shou Xi": A bracelet with four colors, which is quite rare. For example, red, yellow, green, and purple come together in one bracelet, symbolizing that you already have everything you pursue in life.
In addition, "floating flowers": refers to the beautiful stripe-like or star-like texture of jadeite, which is like being condensed in the gemstone, which is very charming. If you can see floating flowers, it means that the jadeite is transparent, such as high-quality ice waxy species.
Jade seed water texture
Since jadeite has a polycrystalline structure, high-end jadeite will not only consider the color tone, but also consider "positive, positive, dense, and even". Only by combining various conditions can the quality of jadeite be classified.
Broadly speaking, high-end jadeite pays attention to delicacy (kind), clearness (water), as well as color saturation and beauty. To understand the grading of jadeite, you can start with its name, and vividly describe the transparency and texture characteristics of jadeite through common substances in life.
From left to right, the picture shows the gradual difference in jade texture, from the most transparent and high-quality "glass jade", which is famous for its precious and rare texture as clear as glass, to "ice jade" and "ice waxy jade". It is as transparent as ice mist, and you can see the color changes in the clarity, and the texture is very delicate; "Nuozhong" is like a shallow spoonful of glutinous rice soup, emphasizing the warmth and emerald green texture.
The non-translucent "bean seeds" look like a spoonful of cooked beans. Like the "green seeds", they have no translucency (including oil blue, cyan blue, white background green, etc.), and flower mist can be seen on the surface of the jadeite. Such crystals, although opaque, appear more saturated in color.
How to measure bracelet size
Measure the circumference of your palm and check the [Comparison Table] to try it on
【Measurement method】
We recommend referring to the two methods in the picture to measure the width of your palm. If you like it slightly looser or slightly tighter, you can slightly add or subtract 1 to 2mm. It should not be too loose or too tight. If you want to switch from the lucky bracelet size to the imperial concubine bracelet, you can increase the size by 1.5~2 to select and try it on.
Method 1) Place your hand naturally flat without tightening it, and measure the widest part of your palm from the base of your four fingers.
Method 2) Put your thumb and tail finger as close as possible and gather them together as in the picture, and measure the circumference of the base of the four fingers.
A common way to measure the size of a jade bracelet is to use a caliper to find the "ring" and "number." These two specifications refer to the size of the "inner ring" that contacts the wrist:
Ring mouth: refers to the diameter of the inner ring of the bracelet
Number: This is the specification commonly used by Taiwanese units.
No matter which specification it is, you can check the [Comparison Table] below as a reference for trying it on.
