The dimensions of this bracelet make it likely that it was intended to be worn by a child. The jade is an almost solid bone white with a few red spots indicating iron inclusions. The interior convex side is extremely smooth and soft to the touch. The outward facing concave side is intricately engraved with an abstract cloud like design. This piece is in excellent condition with no scratches, chips, or cracks. This item DOES NOT have a display base.
