It should gently hug your skin with no gaps. Mark where the ends of the string meet. Straighten the string and measure the length between the two marks with a ruler. This measurement is your wrist circumference.> <Gemstone Fun Fact 1> Hetian Jade (Nephrite) When it comes to white jade, Hetian white jade is the most commonly heard of. This is because the white jade produced in the Hetian region has been of excellent quality since ancient times, earning it an enduring reputation. However, the definition of Hetian jade today encompasses any aggregate primarily composed of the mineral actinolite, meaning Hetian jade is also found in regions like Qinghai, Russia, Korea, and Canada. The mines in the Hetian region itself are nearly depleted due to centuries of extraction. Compared to jadeite (also known as hard jade), which is primarily composed of aluminum magnesium silicate and has a more rigid luster, the beauty of Hetian jade (also known as soft jade) lies in its tender delicacy. Its unique oily luster fully presents a warm, understated elegance. Therefore, the nearly 8,000-year-old Chinese culture of jade appreciation refers to Hetian jade. The ancient description of the five virtues of a gentleman symbolized by jade also refers to Hetian jade. This can be seen from the fact that imperial seals of past emperors were often carved from high-quality Hetian jade, highlighting its historical significance. The imperial seals of Emperor Qianlong from the Qing Dynasty, which fetched multi-million dollar prices at international auctions in recent years, were carved from large, nearly flawless pieces of Hetian jade.

Therefore, pay attention to its soft, uniform, fine, and dense texture, as well as its warm luster. Some lower-quality Hetian jade on the market, with less dense structures, may develop cracks over time and lose its oily luster. Therefore, special attention should be paid during selection. <Gemstone Fun Fact 2> The Quartz Family: Blue Lace Agate Agate, crystal, and chalcedony are all members of the quartz family. Their main component is silicon dioxide (SiO2). However, due to differences in their crystalline forms, those with distinct crystalline structures are called crystals, while those with indistinct crystalline structures are called chalcedony. Agate is a type of chalcedony, specifically referring to chalcedony with layered or irregular linear patterns. When trace elements cause a pale blue hue, it is called Blue Lace Agate. <Gemstone Fun Fact 3> Iolite Iolite is typically light blue or light purple, with some colorless to pale yellow varieties. Blue-colored iolite closely resembles sapphire in color but is significantly more affordable. Therefore, fine iolite is often used as a substitute for sapphire and is sometimes called "water sapphire"! Furthermore, because iolite's energy is very stable and its color cannot be altered by conventional heating methods, it is a genuine gemstone!
