A jade bangle needs to be worn tight on the arm, to minimise wear and tear and to stimulate acupuncture points, as it rattles against your wrist bones day-to-day.
Jade is one of the toughest gemstones in the world, and most natural jade bangles are durable enough to be worn every day.
Not too tight or too loose - just perfect
While the size may vary depending on the style of bracelet you're wearing - for instance, bangles are usually worn loose, while cuffs tend to fit snug around the wrist - the overall guide is that your bracelet should always fit comfortably.
A jade bangle is a rigid piece of jewellery and will not mould around your wrist. If the size is too narrow to fit over your knuckles, it will not fit. If the bangle is too large, it may easily come off your wrist with sudden arm movements.
Because traditionally jade bangles are worn all the time, they are generally made to fit more tightly than gold bangles so they won't clank against tables but will stay close to your wrist. To more easily fit a small bangle over your hand, put a plastic bag over your hand and slide the bangle over it.
It is then closed to fit comfortably. For an average fit, you should add 2.5cm (1”) to your wrist measurement to get your bangle size; for a loose fit, you could add up to 3cm (1.25”). Closed bangles are best selected based on your hand size for an average fit. For a looser fit, you can choose a bangle one size larger.
We recommend you remove your jade jewelry before swimming, showering, etc. (see additional 'Don'ts for Jade' below). The care of your jade is quite simple. Most common jewelry cleaners and techniques can cause problems due to the standard wax applied to all jade after polishing.
It is important to note that one's jade bangle size is usually determined more by one's palm size than wrist size. What this means is that a relatively small palm size often results in a snugly fit bangle at the wrist. Jade bangles are sometimes also worn on one's forearm.
Add a half of an inch to the measured circumference of your wrist to allow for a comfortable fit and that is how you get the right bracelet size. If, for instance, the circumference of your wrist is 6 inches, your bracelet size would be 6.5 inches.
In the vast majority of individuals, there are no major health risks associated with wearing jewelry to sleep. It is, however, common to experience mild to moderate allergic reactions when wearing certain lower grade metals for prolonged periods of time.
Matching a piece of your jewellery to your outfit is a great way to pull the entire style together. Wondering where your bangle is supposed to sit on your wrist? The bangle shouldn't fall to your hand, it should rest nicely on the thinnest part of your wrist.
Jadeite comes in a wide range of colors. The most valuable is an intense green called Imperial. - Courtesy Mason-Kay Fine Jade Jewelry To understand the value of jade, you have to look beyond its durability and its role as a gemstone and beautiful adornment.
In many cultures, jade is believed to bring good luck and protect the wearer from negative energy. This makes jade bangles a popular choice for jewelry, particularly in Asia. They say that jade is alive, and will absorb whatever energy you emanate.
Most people choose to wear their jade bangles on the left arm because it's closest to the heart but it's entirely a personal preference.
On average, the most common size is 8 inches, which we call a "medium". Ultimately, remember when ordering that you do want bangles as tight as possible so that they don't come close to falling off when you're wearing them. Our cuff styled bracelets are sized based on wrist measurement.

It is said that the jade bangle protects the wearer by absorbing negative energy. Jade is also believed to reflect the life of the wearer, becoming more brilliant and bright during good times or dull during times of suffering. While we don't have any bangles, these bracelets are the next best thing!
Jade is a very fragile stone and once it is dropped or bumped it could be damaged. Damage may even occur when two bracelets are worn at the same time so to avoid unnecessary incidents, it's advised to only wear one.
For jadeite, the intensity of the green color, combined with a high degree of translucency are the key factors in judging value. Stones which are too dark in color or not so translucent are less highly valued.
The most valuable jade color is known as “imperial jade” and occurs only in jadeite. Imperial jade is a green balanced between blue and yellow hues. The ideal tone is medium-dark, about 75%, where green hues are optimally saturated.
