About the Item
This elegant mid-century bangle is finely carved from natural serpentine bowenite, a translucent stone in a soft yellowish-green hue often known as “new jade.” Beautifully detailed, the bracelet features a continuous carved fish motif symbolizing abundance and prosperity, while the interior remains smooth and polished for comfortable wear.
Though serpentine resembles jade in color and texture, it is a distinct mineral valued for its soothing and grounding energy. It is believed to promote balance, inner peace, and protection against negative influences — qualities that have made it cherished in both decorative and spiritual contexts.
The bangle has a substantial weight of 63.92 grams, with an outer diameter of 82 mm, width of 15 mm, and thickness of 10 mm. Its analyzed properties confirm the authenticity of the natural serpentine bowenite, and a Netherlands Gemmological Laboratory (NGL) gemstone report can be provided upon request.
