Lot 2071. A very rare oval-shaped jadeite bangle. Estimate HKD 4,500,000 - 6,500,000 (USD 576,000 - 832,000). © Poly Auction Hong Kong Limited

The jadeite bangle of bright green color with good translucency, weighing 244.26 carats, inner diameters approximately 76.33 x 63.48 mm, thickness 10.32 mm. 

Accompanied by report no.SJ155899 dated 24 August 2017 from the Hong Kong Jade & Stone Laboratory stating that the jadeite tested is natural, known in the trade as “A Jade”.

This oval-shaped jadeite bangle presented in LOT 2071 is a style said to be created and adored by the Imperial Concubine Yang, one of the most famous female figures in ancient Chinese history. Its graceful and elegant shape surrounds the wrist perfectly to allow greater comfort and durability. This form of jadeite jewelry is called hololiths, which means they are fashioned a form a single piece of jadeite rough. This requires a rough large enough to withstand the great deal of weight loss during cutting and polishing. At the same time, it is extremely rare for a piece of rough of this size to display such vibrant color, as well as good translucency due to fine internal interlocking structures.
