What does the Hetian Jade Bracelet I mean?
Each S119 note below is a short reading of one bead shape, stone or motif in Chinese bead custom. In our data, 38 of the 182 styles on this site carry the round bead note, or 21%, including S119. For example, a bead name may sound like a wish, and a carved form may recall a virtue, so read each note on the Hetian Jade Bracelet I that way. Finally, the S119 notes deal with Chinese custom only, not with any promised effect.
Round bead · yuán zhū
In Chinese bead culture a sphere suggests yuánmǎn, a whole with nothing missing. So round beads became the standard for malas and other counting strands.
Hetian jade · Hétián yù
The Hetian jade in S119 is a nephrite with a soft, oily lustre, and carvers in China have worked nephrite for thousands of years.
Priced by weight
Why is this strand priced by weight?
Pricing by weight means the quote for the Hetian Jade Bracelet I comes from what your own strand weighs on the scale, filmed before you pay.
Colour, translucency and weight change from one stone to the next, even within one style. That is why we put the strand you would receive on the scale, film it, and quote from that.
According to GIA, the value of jade such as S119 rests on colour, transparency, texture, cut, size and weight. So those differ in every S119 strand. For example, two S119 stones of the same size can differ clearly in tone. First we film the stone, then we quote it.
In our data, none of the 182 styles on this site has a list price, including S119. So the S119 quote and the S119 weight always come from the same filmed reading.

About this piece
What is the Hetian Jade Bracelet I?
The Hetian Jade Bracelet I (S119) contains no agarwood. Instead, our workshop makes the S119 from hetian jade, and we quote the S119 the same way as our agarwood pieces. The Hetian jade in S119 is a nephrite jade. Nephrite rates 6.0 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, according to GIA, with a specific gravity near 2.95, so the S119 is hard-wearing. In our data, 7 of the 27 Hetian jade styles on this site contain no agarwood, or 26%, including S119. Finally, because jade can scratch softer materials, pack the S119 apart from other pieces when you travel.
This is a single-turn bracelet. We string it to your wrist, adding or removing beads until the fit matches what you asked for. So it sits flat, and it wears easily beside a watch.
Round beads are lathe-turned and hand-sanded. On a sphere the grain never shows the same face twice, so every bead on the strand looks a little different.
Its beads measure 8 mm.
