Catalogue Essay
Bangle is one of the most distinctive and traditional forms of jade jewellery, first carved from nephrite dating back to at least four thousand years ago. To fashion a jadeite bangle from a rough, not only causes great deal of weight loss, but also requires the jadeite boulder to be free from cracks or internal tensions. Therefore, a hololith jadeite bangle is difficult to achieve and highly desirable among jadeite connoisseurs. The present bangle is a fine example of jadeite bangle, translucent texture suffused with the most precious imperial green colour.
