Bracelet Size Guide
| Your Wrist (in) | Bracelet Length (in) | Bracelet Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 5.0 – 5.5" | 6" | 15.2 cm |
| 5.5 – 6.0" | 6.5" | 16.5 cm |

Most women wear a 7" bracelet (6"–6.5" wrist). The bracelet should slide over the hand but not rotate freely on the wrist — when in doubt, go half an inch up.
How to measure at home
- 1. Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a thin strip of paper) snugly around your wrist, just above the wrist bone.
- 2. Read the length in inches — that's your wrist size. Mark the paper and measure it against a ruler if you used paper.
- 3. Add 0.5–1" for the perfect drape, then match it to the length column above. Available sizes: 6"–8".

Stone Guide
Jade is chosen for its clarity and natural luminosity. Every stone is ethically sourced and uniquely cut, so subtle variations are a mark of its authentic origin.
Bamboo, In Stone
The carving is the meaning. In Chinese tradition bamboo bends and does not break — it is the emblem of integrity that yields without surrendering, and its joints mark the phrase jie jie gao sheng: rising, joint by joint. Carved into jade and worn on the wrist, the strand is a quiet sentence about steady advancement, which is why jade-and-bamboo has been the graduation, promotion, and new-beginning gift for longer than most languages have written the idea down.
The stone is Hetian nephrite — the jade of China's two-thousand-year river-bed trade, prized not for glassy shine but for a waxy, internal glow the Chinese call warm. This strand keeps that character: pale celadon-white with an oily luster, as comfortable against linen in summer as against wool in winter, and as much a textural object as a color one.
Nephrite, Plainly Explained
A word most buyers deserve straight: jade is two minerals, not one. Nephrite (what this strand is) is a tough, felted amphibole — the historical jade of Chinese carving, warmer in luster and nearly unbreakable in practice. Jadeite is the rarer, glassier Burmese stone behind imperial green headlines. Neither is fake; they are different stones with different price worlds, and any seller who cannot say which one they are holding is not worth your trust.
On toughness, nephrite has no peer in the jewelry case — its interlocked fibers make it more resistant to breaking than steel of the same thickness, which is why a carved strand like this survives the daily wear that would chip a faceted gemstone. Wipe it with a damp cloth; that is the entire care manual.
A Gift That Speaks Without a Card
There is a reason jade-and-bamboo is the gift Chinese families give at graduations, promotions, new ventures, and hard new beginnings: the carving already says rising, joint by joint, so the card can be one line. This strand arrives in a lined signature gift box within 1-2 business days — free insured shipping worldwide, 30-day unworn returns if it is not right, and a lifetime craftsmanship warranty on the work. For a grandmother who taught you the meaning of the word, for a daughter crossing a stage, for yourself on the day you finally bet on yourself: it is the same strand, and it does not need explaining.
From Our Customers
Hetian Jade Bamboo Bracelet FAQ
The most-asked questions about this piece, answered.
Is this nephrite or jadeite?
This strand is Hetian nephrite — the historical jade of Chinese carving, pale celadon-white with a waxy glow. Jadeite is the different, glassier Burmese mineral. We name the mineral plainly because the two live in different price worlds and you deserve to know which you are wearing.
What does the bamboo carving symbolize?
Bamboo bends without breaking and grows in joints — the traditional emblem of integrity and steady advancement (jie jie gao sheng, rising joint by joint). As a gift it is the standard wordless way to say: may everything you build keep rising.
Does it come with a certificate?
The strand is natural Hetian nephrite as described; it is sold as a wearable strand, not as a certified collector stone, and we do not attach paper to pieces priced for wearing. If you are building a certified collection, buy certified — and expect a different price world.
Will jade break if I drop it?
Nephrite is the toughest natural jewelry stone there is — its interlocked fiber structure outperforms steel of the same thickness in break resistance. Normal drops will not trouble it. The honest caveat is the elastic: roll it on rather than stretching, and the strand lasts years.
How should I care for jade?
The shortest care manual we write: wipe with a damp cloth, keep it off perfume spray, store flat. Jade's luster is internal and permanent — no oiling, no polishing products, no sun precautions needed.
