High quality jadeite is mainly found in the mines of Burma. Jade,pronounced ‘Yu’ in Chinese,is known as the “Stone of Heaven” in the Chinese language. In Chinese culture and throughout Chinese history,Jade has played a significant role,and have often been imported to China through Teng Chong,Ruili,and other cities along the coastline from Burma for over the past four to five hundred years. After centuries of mining,and recent turmoil in Burma,jadeite mines have been fully exploited; therefore high quality jadeite are become more and more rare.
According to ancient mythology,the Chinese term for Jadeite ‘Fei Cui’ describes a bird from the south of gorgeous colors. Generally,the male bird is red,thus the word ‘Fei’ ,and the female bird is green,thus the word ‘Cui’; together combined forming the term ‘Fei Cui’ meaning Jadeite in Chinese.
This Jadeite bangle is perfectly cylindrical,completely round from inside to out. This shape is very popular and highly sought after,and because of its roundness,it indicates ‘good luck’,‘peace’,and the prevention of evil. This type of jadeite bangle is known as a ‘Fu Zhuo’ or “Bangle of good fortune”. In comparison to other bangle shapes,the cylindrical bangle requires the most raw material needed. Bangles must be produced from one whole piece of raw material,and to produce a bangle of the highest quality,the rough stone must contain large areas of high quality jadeite in color and texture to create one. With jadeite stones being natural treasure of mother earth,this feat is nearly impossible to find one completely rich in color and flawless in texture.
The Jadeite bangle presented in this sale is bright green and of high translucency. This bangle meets the highest quality standard in color,transparency,texture,and cut,making it a collectible treasure.
