Unquestionably, the item I get asked most about is this jade link bracelet. And for good reason, she’s a showstopper! These links are something really special – they’re carved out of a single piece of grade A jadeite, all connected, perfectly graduated and with a stunning ombre effect. I made a few custom versions of this bracelet in the fall, but since then, these links have become incredibly difficult to find. I am always on the hunt for more, but so far, the only options I’ve been able to find are either wildly expensive (three times the price), way too short, or not cutting it from a quality or color perspective. So for now, this is it!
This bracelet is composed of two pieces – the jade links and a fully detachable 14K yellow gold connector. While the connector is sized perfectly to create a 6.75” bracelet, it can also be removed and used as a necklace extender or charm holder. The jade links are also quite versatile – working as an extender in their own right (may I say, they look fabulous styled with my 13 inch watch chain as a necklace!).
___
Size: Laying flat, the jade links measure about 5.5 inches long, and the extender is just over 2 inches long, for a total length of just over 7.5 inches. However, because of the size and shape of the links, this bracelet sits on the bracelet cone right at 6.75 inches. The links graduate, but are about 9.6 mm at their widest.
Weight: The finished bracelet weighs 11.39 grams. The 14K gold connector weighs 4.55 grams.
Hallmarks: The gold connector is stamped “585”
