How to Buy a Jade Bangle Bracelet
When you buy a jade bangle bracelet, you want to purchase a jade bangle that fits well, is good quality and from a trustworthy jade seller.
First, you should determine how to find your jade bangle bracelet size. You want your jade bangle to fit as tight as possible so it doesn't clunk around and get damaged as you wear it. Reputable jade sellers use a mm measurement of the inside diameter in their sizing descriptions for the most precise fit. People who wear a jade bangle bracelet every day often prefer to wear their bangle on their non-dominant wrist because it's more comfortable and usually non-dominant hands are used less so your bangle will get less chance of being damaged. Your right and left hand/wrist are probably different sizes, so you should measure for the wrist on which you will wear your jade bangle.

There are three kinds of jade. Nephrite jade is rarely available in China and usually is found in New Zealand, the North American northwest including Canada and this jade is often shipped to China for carving. Chinese jade is mined in China and is "China's National Jade" and is carved into bangles, pendants, large and small carvings, and health instruments like rollers, gua sha tools.

Burmese jadeite is the most recognized jade, and you can read about Burmese jadeite by clicking this link.
The price range can vary from $75 for a Chinese jade bangle, to thousands of dollars for Burmese jadeite. However, Ying Yu Jade endeavors to offer a wide variety of price ranges for every budget. The price is determined by the quality, natural vs enhanced color, translucence, and the price of jade. Ying Yu Jade often works with a jade carver, and purchases the rough for the carver to make bangles and pendants, so we can get a better value both in quality and price.
The price of jade continues to rise, so your jade bangle bracelet is not only a beautiful piece of jewelry but also an investment. Good quality genuine jade is not cheap, and if you see prices that are less than $100 for jadeite, it is probably a very poor quality or not genuine jade. So you need to purchase a jade bangle bracelet or any kind of jade items, from a reliable seller. A reliable jade seller will offer information about jade on their web site. For example, Ying Yu Jade not only offers much jade information, but also a daily jade blog that informs readers about jade, a travelog of our China jade buying trips, detailed policies and information you need for the actual purchase and shipping of the jade you buy. Many jade sellers don't use an automated shopping cart system because it is extremely time consuming to put items for sale in a shopping cart system when each jade piece is a one-of-a-kind item, but Ying Yu Jade believes this is a professional method for selling jade to give customers confidence that they are getting what they order, and will receive a proper receipt with the ability to view their account and status. We want customers to feel confident when they purchase from Ying Yu Jade because we know it can be a challenging time especially when you purchase your first jade bangle bracelet.
