Polished Green Pakistani Nephrite Bangle, Natural Type A
Carved from one block and polished to a mirror finish, this bangle shows the tonal drift that makes every natural piece one of a kind: lighter through one arc, deeper through the next, never flat. The profile is generous, so it carries real weight without feeling bulky on the wrist.

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.
