Design This is a truly hand-hammered unisex ring in a popular solitaire style # 22 in our online design selection catalog. This masculine design features a protective mount almost exactly the same height of the gem.

Bangle Description This one of a kind, solid stone bangle bracelet was cut from a slab of opaque Burmese Jadeite Jade. The combination of colors, as shown, gives this piece a handsome appearance. It is natural stone also known as A grade. Note: When you see Jade labeled with a particular grade remember that this grade only pertains to treatments, not the quality. The quality of this stone is good and can be quickly noticed by the high pitched ring of the sound made when two of these bangles are struck together, an indication of a pure stone that has no significant cracks or flaws. Do expect natural stone to have minor surface flaws and fissures as some naturals do not polish out. Weights and Measures This is a comfort cut, rounded outside and flat inside. For sizing purposes this bracelet measures 75.5 mm inside diameter and has a circumference of 9.3 inches. The approximate height is 20.4 mm and the thickness is about 8.6 mm. This fine bracelet weighs about 120 grams. About Stone Bangles Bangles are thought to store ones personal powers. Many people never take one off once they put it on. If one breaks during an accident it is said it saved a bone from being broken. Wear it in good health!! Are you curious to know what size bangle is right for you and don’t have access to a bangle sizer? Lay your hand palm down onto a metric ruler with your fingertips touching one another. With the other hand grasp your thumb and little finger above the knuckles and squeeze them towards each other, making your hand as narrow as possible then check the measure. You will want a bangle that you can barely get on in order for it to better fit your wrist. Always use lotion or a plastic bag to put a stone bangle on and also to take one off, this will make it last longer as it does not become stressed. Avoid putting it on and off often, best left on long term.

Metal Content We melt down fine silver and pure copper to create an ingot of 93% silver alloy for our Sterling 925. Consequently our alloys are a little on the rich side. Copper alone is the remaining 7%. We do not add base metal in our alloy so there is less chance for any allergic reaction. Our 18K gold alloy is made in our shop with 76% fine gold, 24% silver and copper to create an ingot of 76% alloy of gold, a little on the rich side of 18k. No base metal is used for the alloy, less chance for any allergic reaction. When you request fine silver we use at least .999 silver, very white. When you request 965 gold we use Chinese bars also known as Thai gold, very yellow. Our technique All of our jewelry is made with the old fashioned hand hammered technique. We start by alloying an ingot then proceed with hammering, rolling, filing, sawing, soldering, drilling, sanding and polishing. We do not sell castings and there is no glue or factory made findings in this heirloom quality hand crafted jewelry.
