Measure the hand, not the wrist
Bring the thumb and little finger together, then measure across the widest compressed part of the hand. If you own a rigid bangle that fits, its inner diameter is the stronger reference.
Practical buyer guide
Choose the right bangle size. Know what you are buying.
Use the sizing tool as a starting point, then confirm the actual piece, dimensions, treatment status and certificate before payment.
57 mm comparison included
Bangle size finder
Measure in millimetres. For the most reliable reference, use a rigid bangle that already passes your knuckles comfortably.
57mm
Estimate size
Sizing is a starting reference, not a fit guarantee. Knuckle flexibility, hand shape, bangle width, profile and oval shape can change the fit.
Read treatment disclosure
GIA describes Type A as natural or wax-polished only, Type B as acid-bleached and polymer impregnated, and Type C as dyed. Ask for the treatment status of the exact piece.
Use the certificate correctly
Check identity, treatment, dimensions, report number and the laboratory verification page. A report supports identification; it does not promise market value or investment returns.
Inspect before payment
Request daylight and close-up video. Review color, transparency, texture, fractures or stone lines, exact dimensions, shipping insurance and return eligibility for the destination.
Care for jadeite
When treatment status is unknown, warm soapy water and a soft cloth are the conservative choice. Avoid heat, acids and harsh cleaning methods.
