Classic Green Pakistani Nephrite Bangle, Natural Type A

An easy entry point into natural Pakistani nephrite. A single continuous ring of untreated stone in a soft, even green, hand-cut and polished to the gentle waxy luster the material is known for. No metal, no seam, no dye, just an honest piece of jade you can wear every day.

About Pakistani nephrite

Quarried in northern Pakistan, where the mountains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan hold some of the world's finest modern nephrite. The deposits worked around Shangla and the Swat-Kohistan belt yield a dense, fine-grained stone in deep spinach-to-forest greens, still recovered in small quantities and finished largely by hand.

• Toughness. Nephrite's interlocking fibrous structure makes it the most durable of the jades, built for daily wear.
• Luster. That structure takes the soft, almost oily polish collectors look for.
• Type A, guaranteed. No dye, no polymer impregnation, no bleaching. Natural color, cut and polished only.

Each piece is one of a kind, so color and translucency vary slightly from the photos.
