Everyday Green Pakistani Nephrite Bangle, Natural Type A

A quiet mid-green with soft cloudy drift through the stone, the kind of subtle unevenness that only shows up in material that was never dyed or filled. Carved as one closed circle with a smooth rounded profile, light enough to forget you are wearing it and tough enough to keep on.

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.
