Are round bracelets more expensive than flat bracelets? Just take a look and you will know!

First of all, to determine whether a jade bracelet is round or flat, you must first compare its inner and outer circles. If they are both full circles, then it is a round jade bracelet. This kind of jade bracelet is delicate and smooth, has a high collection value, and can highlight the "classical beauty".

Round Bracelet

Conversely, if the bracelet has a round outer circle but a flat inner circle, it is a flat bracelet.

Flat Bracelet

So if the defects, texture, water head, etc. are the same, round bracelets are indeed more expensive than flat bracelets. There are several specific reasons.

More sophisticated craftsmanship

Creating a "round" jade bracelet requires extremely high craftsmanship. It has to be done in one go, starting from the rough carving of the jade embryo. Once the cut is made, it is difficult to go back or repair it. The bracelet body cannot be cut too brittle, and the curvature of the inner and outer circles must be kept consistent. It can only be carved manually and cannot be replaced by a machine. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to make a round jade bracelet of excellent quality.

More material consumption

Because the inner circle of a round jade bracelet also has a curvature, it will consume more jade materials. In addition, the waste jade from failed carving will increase the cost of the "round bar".

Below are several types of round bracelets.

Bracelet

The Fu bracelet has the characteristics of outer circle, inner circle and ring circle, three circles in one. This is the most classic style of round bracelets. It is round and full, solemn and upright, and implies perfection.

Beauty bracelet (fairy bracelet)

The beauty bracelet inherits the Su style of craftsmanship and pays attention to detail. It was first popular in the Jiangnan area. It has a round inner and outer circle, and the bar is extremely thin, probably only one-third of a normal bracelet, and is very delicate. It presents a swaying beauty on the slender wrist, showing the delicate beauty of Jiangnan women.

So after reading this, do you think that flat bracelets are not as expensive as round bracelets and therefore not as good? That's really not the case! After all, as a classic style, how can the flat bracelet lose its value? In addition, flat bracelets also have great advantages.

Better gloss

Due to the wide and flat inner circle and large curvature of the outer circle of a flat jade bracelet, light will be refracted through the jade to the entire bracelet body, especially the luster of the jade bracelet will appear crystal clear. In comparison, the round bracelet is slightly inferior in glossiness due to the prototype design of the inner and outer circles.

More comfortable to wear

In terms of appearance, the inner circle of the flat jade bracelet is flat and the outer circle is round. This design fits the human wrist better, because an elliptical cross-section will increase friction, especially when doing housework. The flat jade bracelet is not easy to slip and is more convenient for daily life.

Below are several types of flat bracelets.

Royal Bracelet

It is said that the Imperial Concubine Bracelet was designed by Yang Guifei, hence the name. The imperial concubine bracelet not only has a flat inner circle, but the bracelet body is also flat when viewed from the side, and the bars vary from bow-shaped to round, so that the shape of the bracelet fits the wrist perfectly. Suitable for women with small hands and slender wrists.

Peace bracelet

The peace bracelet is the most common flat bracelet style on the market, also called the safety bracelet. Because the inner ring is polished, it fits the wrist and is very comfortable to wear. It can be worn by women of any hand shape and any age, and is very versatile.

Square Bracelet

Square bracelets are not very common nowadays. They are a craft from the north. The bracelet body is square and rectangular, not as delicate as the other styles. They are suitable for young women or older women with thick wrists.
