Do you think jade bracelets are simple? There are so many sayings here.

Bracelets are a very classic type of jewelry. Not only do they conform to the traditional Chinese concept of perfection, they are also the most suitable design for wrists. Therefore, they are very common in gold, silver or jade jewelry.

However, when it comes to jade, there are more things to pay attention to when it comes to bracelets. Not only are there more types of jade, but they are also endowed with rich connotations, making them suitable for different groups of people.

Today, Sister Xu will tell you what kind of bracelet is suitable for what kind of jade friends~

Carved bracelet

The bracelets with patterns carved on the surface are called carved bracelets. The patterns include negative, positive, and negative convex and positive. The purpose of bracelet carving is often to hide cracks and remove dirt.

Carved bracelets are made by carving patterns on the basis of plain bracelets, so the word "carved" (or adding pattern content) is added to the original name to call them, such as: carved plum blossom blessing bracelet, carved Pixiu Ruyi flower peace bracelet, etc.

The picture above is a twisted bracelet that was the favorite of Ms. Soong Mei-ling, a great jade collector in the Republic of China. It is a new silk jade bracelet among the carved bracelets.

Peace Bracelet

Pinghe bracelets were formerly called square bracelets and square bar bracelets, also known as saddle bracelets. The cross-section of the stem is a rectangle of varying lengths, and the frame opening is circular, consisting of two circular flat surfaces in the front and back, and two smooth surfaces of the inner and outer curls.

The Peace Bracelet has both the three-dimensional style of the Western simple flat composition and the concept of "the sky is round and the earth is square" in traditional Chinese culture. When you wear it on your hand, you will be peaceful and approachable in your dealings with others, and you will be steady and prosperous in doing things.

Of course, if a person is too peaceful, he may be bullied sometimes, but the Peace Bracelet has four edges composed of four faces, showing a unique masculinity, making you peaceful and not to be bullied.

In recent years, Pinghe bracelets have gradually become a new style that highlights individuality and are loved by people. It is worth emphasizing that the processing and production of Pinghe bracelets is the most material-saving and labor-saving.

From the perspective of cherishing and saving jade (especially high-end jade) resources, it, like Pinghe Huaigu (Ping'an Kou), can minimize the wear of jade raw materials and preserve its volume, which is worthy of guidance and promotion.

Royal Bracelet

The frame of the bracelet is oval, forming a royal concubine bracelet. It is said that Yang Guifei asked craftsmen to design this bracelet. It was the first imperial concubine bracelet she used and invented. It fits the oval shape of the human wrist very well and is particularly compact and close-fitting when worn. More importantly, it makes the hands look more slender and beautiful when worn.

For people with slender wrists, wearing a round-frame bracelet will make the inner frame appear empty and the wrist appear thinner, but wearing a chaise longue bracelet can make the wrist look rounder.

Guifei bracelets are mostly worn by young women with slender wrists and graceful ladies. The frames of Guifei bracelets are often called oval frames, horseshoe frames, etc.

The imperial concubine bracelet is made from materials with a smaller diameter in one direction to avoid cracking and dirt. However, the oval frame is slightly more difficult to make than the round one.

Peace bracelet

The inner edge of the stem is flat or gently curved, and the outer edge is an arc-shaped convexity, which is morphologically called flat inside and round outside. Because the outer edge of the stem protrudes outward and looks like a saddle, people call it a peace bracelet because it is homophonic to "an" (safety).

The frame of the peace bracelet is a perfect circle, and the cross-section of the stem is nearly semicircular, making it more lightweight and delicate. The inner surface of the peace bracelet is flat, and it fits the hand comfortably when worn. And during processing and production, multiple small ones can be put in the middle of the large one, which is a style that saves materials.

Peace bracelets can be further divided into wide strips, narrow strips, gentle saddles and convex saddles according to the width and convexity of the stems, such as wide strips with gentle saddles and narrow strips with convex saddles.

There are a large number of wide peace bracelets in the market today. The reason for this is that on the one hand, it improves the instability of the narrow and thin peace bracelet stems, but the main purpose is to slice them into slices of this thickness, and then break the remaining bracelet material into two, which is just the right thickness for making flower pendants. In the past, the leftover bracelet materials were used to make ordinary flower cards, but they were too thick, and too thin when cut into two pieces.

Peace bracelets can be worn by everyone from children to the elderly and are the most numerous and popular style on the market today. Compared with the blessing bracelets that were more numerous before the reform and opening up, it is called a "new model", but in fact, the shape of the peace bracelet has already existed in the Neolithic ruins. At that time, the inner edge of the stems of the bracelets were almost flat.
