Design & Construction
Each oval lavender jade cabochon sits securely within individual 14K yellow gold bezel settings that completely encircle the stones for maximum protection and elegant presentation. The decorative link connections feature a distinctive double-strand design that creates visual continuity while allowing the bracelet to drape gracefully on the wrist. The warm yellow gold provides beautiful contrast against the cool lavender jade, enhancing the natural color saturation of each stone. Professional bezel setting ensures durability while showcasing the jade's natural translucency and smooth surface texture.
About Type A Jadeite
Type A jadeite represents the highest quality natural jade, completely untreated and unenhanced from its original mineral state. This GIA certification confirms no indications of dye or impregnation, meaning the beautiful purple color occurs naturally through trace minerals within the jadeite structure. The translucent clarity and double cabochon cut maximize the stone's natural beauty and light transmission. Only two stones from this bracelet were tested at random by GIA, with both confirming the Type A classification, providing confidence in the entire piece's authenticity and quality.
