How to Choose a Hetian Jade Bangle by Fit and Colour

A Hetian jade bangle, often searched internationally as a Hotan jade or Chinese nephrite bracelet, is carved as one continuous ring. For first-time buyers, the practical starting points are inner diameter, band width and hand fit. For Chinese families, colour, texture and the tradition of gifting jade may also carry personal meaning.

White jade, celadon jade and deeper-toned nephrite can look different in daylight and indoor light. Compare natural-light photographs and measure across the widest part of your hand before choosing. Yufu Jade can provide close-ups and personal sizing guidance for every available piece.

What to look for

Inner diameter and fitThe inner diameter decides whether a bangle slides over your hand. Measure across the widest part of your hand, then match it to the bangle size in millimetres.
Band shapeRound, princess and flat profiles wear differently. A round band feels fuller on the wrist; a flatter princess profile sits closer and catches light differently.
Colour toneWhite, ivory, celadon and grey-green nephrite all change under different light. Compare daylight photographs rather than one studio image.
Texture and polishNatural nephrite shows subtle texture variation. A smooth, even polish without visible cracks matters more than a perfectly uniform colour.

Bangle size reference

Jade bangles are measured by inner diameter in millimetres. The band must pass over the widest part of your hand, so hand width matters as much as wrist size. Yufu Jade confirms the inner diameter, band width and weight of the individual bangle and can guide you through measuring at home.

Hand width (widest part)Suggested inner diameter
60 - 64 mm50 - 52 mm
64 - 68 mm52 - 54 mm
68 - 72 mm54 - 56 mm
72 - 76 mm56 - 58 mm
76 - 80 mm58 - 60 mm

Inner diameters are a starting guide. Measure across the widest part of your hand and ask Yufu Jade to confirm the fit of the individual bangle.

Common questions

How do I know my jade bangle size?

Measure across the widest part of your hand with your fingers together. Choose an inner diameter a few millimetres larger, then ask Yufu Jade to confirm the fit of the individual bangle before ordering.

What is the difference between a round and a princess bangle?

A round bangle has a circular inner and outer profile and feels fuller on the wrist. A princess bangle has a flatter outer face and often a gentler inner curve, so it sits closer and catches light differently.

Is white Hetian jade better than celadon?

Neither is automatically better. White nephrite is the most classic tone, while celadon offers soft green depth. Texture, polish and a balanced colour matter more than the tone itself.

Can I wear a jade bangle every day?

Yes, with basic care: put it on last, remove it before cleaning, sports or bathing, and store it flat in a padded pouch. See the Jade Care Guide for the full routine.
