A good old spinach jade (nephrite) piece for your collection. You’re asking “why would I want spinach jade?” Well, it’s a popular color of nephrite jade. See, there are two types of jade: jadeite and nephrite. Nephrite jade is the jade of lore. It’s the jade that was prized in China for thousands of years. Jadeite jade is from Myanmar (Burma/Burmese Jade). In fact, imperial jade — the highest price jade (millions, depending on the work done to it) — is a type of jadeite jade and is more recent to China. You want spinach jade because it’s pretty, that’s why. You’re reading this because you’re intrigued by the green colors.

Which is better, you’re asking yourself? Neither. It’s really a matter of choice. Nephrite tends to be cheaper because it’s been found in Russia and Canada also. Jadeite can be expensive, based on the color and work done to the piece. However, there are times where nephrite is more expensive because, again, the work done to the piece. Ignore those differences, unless you’re a collector looking for 1000+ dollar pieces. On average, both will cost somewhere between 80 dollars to about 300 dollars for a good bangle that’ll last a lifetime, hold its worth, and oftentimes increase.

Sizing this piece is simple: 2.52in * 3.14 = 7.9in. Measure around your 4 fingers (sans thumb) near your knuckles. If this measurement yields less than 7.9 inches, this bangle will fit. To care for this piece, just use a lint-free cloth.
