Is there really any connection between the Jade Imperial Concubine Bracelet and Yang Guifei?

The Guifei bracelet is a type of jade bracelet. Its shape is close to oval, similar to the structure of the human wrist. The edge of the imperial concubine bracelet is smooth and the outer edge is slightly curved, so it is not easy to fall off or be damaged when worn. The ancients believed that "wearing a royal concubine bracelet can protect the body, bring peace of mind and tranquility, and make one more beautiful, elegant, noble and graceful."

However, when it comes to the imperial concubine bracelet, I believe many people will think of a historical figure - Yang Guifei. That’s right, it’s the woman who is called “the root of beauty” by everyone. But, is the Imperial Concubine Bracelet really related to Yang Guifei? Who is suitable to wear the imperial concubine bracelet? Today, I will take you, my fellow jade lovers, to find out.

The Origin of the Imperial Concubine Bracelet

According to legend, Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty loved wearing bracelets. However, because she has a plump figure, her entire arm looks bloated after wearing the bracelet. Later, a jade craftsman designed a flat, round bracelet for Yang Guifei to please her, which could make her arms look slimmer.

As a result, after Yang Guifei wore this bracelet, her arms looked much slimmer, so she rewarded the craftsman greatly and asked him to make bracelets for her in this style in the future. Later, the making technique of this bracelet was passed on to the people. Because this kind of bracelet was very popular with Yang Guifei, people also call it the "Imperial Concubine Bracelet".

Who are suitable to wear the imperial concubine bracelet?

The design features of the imperial concubine bracelet are mainly to highlight the delicate and simple style, so it has very obvious personality characteristics. Such personality traits just happen to conform to the aesthetic views and psychological needs of Oriental women. So from this perspective, the imperial concubine bracelet is suitable for ladies of any age and any status. But in comparison, women who are feminine, slender or pay attention to details are more suitable to wear imperial concubine bracelets. In addition, compared with round bracelets, the elegant and simple style of the imperial concubine bracelet can better represent the spirit of the times and the pursuit of individuality.

How to choose a royal bracelet

shape

Most imperial concubine bracelets are oval in shape, but they are also specifically divided into carved imperial concubine bracelets, flat imperial concubine bracelets and square imperial concubine bracelets. The effects of wearing different styles of imperial concubine bracelets are also different. Usually flat-shaped imperial concubine bracelets are the mainstream, of course, jade lovers can also choose according to their own preferences.

Sliver

No matter what style of jade bracelet, the strips are of different widths, and the imperial concubine bracelet is no exception. Although there is only a slight difference in the width of the stripes, the temperament displayed after wearing it is still very different. Therefore, it is recommended that women with fatter wrists try to choose imperial jade bracelets with wider strips; while women with thinner wrists can choose imperial jade bracelets with slightly thinner strips.

Ring

The size of the ring is mainly determined by the shape of your hand. The Guifei bracelet is the same as other styles of jade bracelets. Usually the size of the bracelet should be chosen based on whether it is slightly difficult to wear, and the best choice is for the imperial concubine bracelet to fit the hand well. Although it is a little uncomfortable when wearing it, it is relatively stable once worn and will not slide too much.

thickness

If the bracelet is too thick, it will look bulky; if it is too thin, it will give people a feeling of being fragile and insecure. At this time, we have to choose according to our own body shape. If you are a little fat, you can choose a thicker imperial concubine bracelet, otherwise choose a thinner one.
