Hmm, maybe. Not sure of actual measurements. Wouldn't nephrite (if it is) be lighter because of lower density? What thickness is your bangle?
Ok, just checked my ~59mm internal diameter/13mm D shaped grade A bangle's certificate. It weighs 50.87g, so maybe a thinner bangle that's slightly larger in diameter could be 48g. I'll know more when I can hold it in my hand.
Yes, I guess extra thickness all the way around can really push up the weight. Mine is rather thick; she's not called fatty for nothing! I don't have a tape measure to hand but she's easily 13mm+ wide.
Got a question. I only own one jade bangle so far because it was love at first sight and I couldn't get her out of my mind for weeks! Then I pulled the trigger.
I've not seen another bangle I feel the same way about, and since I wear "Fatty" 24/7 and she was expensive (for me, at £250) I'm worried I'll end up replacing her if I get another similar to her
However, she's very opaque and I would love to own a piece with a lot of translucency. What would you say the starting price for good translucency would be on 58mm sizes and upwards? (Colour not important as I won't be able to afford both aspects!)
I'm just wondering if it's worth me continuing to look for something in my price range.
Maybe a beaded bracelet is the way to go? Will I get better quality jade for my limited funds in bead form? I did fantasise about finding some translucent beads with the bright greens I love from my bangle. So they match.
Thank you. And thank you for sharing all these gorgeous pictures of your jade! The thread is addictive
