Chinese Carved Chloromelanite Dark Green A-Grade Jadeite Bangle Small 50mm ID
About the Item
Chloromelanite, a variety of jadeite known for its rich, dark green color, is a fascinating and valuable material that has been appreciated in Chinese culture for centuries. This hardstone, characterized by its medium to dark emerald green hues and semi to non-translucent ground, is often referred to as "black jade" due to its deep coloration. Chloromelanite is a member of the jadeite family, which includes some of the most prized forms of jade in the world. Chloromelanite contains high proportion of iron, which results in it's relatively less translucent nature versus traditional jadeite.
In China, jadeite, and by extension chloromelanite, has been revered not just for its aesthetic beauty but also for its cultural and symbolic significance. Jade has been used in China for millennia, not only in the creation of jewelry and decorative objects but also in ceremonial and ritual contexts. It is associated with virtues such as purity, beauty, longevity, and even immortality. Chloromelanite, with its distinctive and intense green color, is particularly valued for its rarity and beauty, making it a sought-after material for high-quality jewelry and ornamental pieces.
The vintage Chinese carved natural chloromelanite jadeite hardstone bangle presented here is a stunning example of the use of this material in Chinese craftsmanship. The bangle's rich color and semi to non-translucent appearance offer a glimpse into the depth and variety of jadeite's natural beauty. Carved from a single piece of chloromelanite, this bangle exemplifies the skill and artistry involved in working with such a hard and precious material.
Wearing a chloromelanite jadeite bangle is a statement of elegance and sophistication with a connection to the rich cultural heritage and traditions of China. The medium to dark emerald green color of the bangle is highly prized, symbolizing wealth, status, and a deep connection to the natural world.
This piece, with its timeless beauty and cultural resonance, is more than just an accessory; it is a wearable piece of history, embodying the enduring allure and significance of jadeite in Chinese culture.
