In fact, as a representative of Eastern jewelry culture, jadeite has always occupied a central position in the high-end consumer market. Ice-type jadeite, with its ice-like translucency and soft luster, has become a popular choice among bracelet categories. By 2025, as jadeite resources grow increasingly scarce and consumer demands evolve, the pricing structure for ice-type jadeite bracelets will exhibit a more complex tiered trend. So, how much does an ice-type jadeite bracelet typically cost?
If you find jadeite bracelets under ten thousand yuan (bean-grade or glutinous rice-grade) unsatisfactory, and those costing tens of thousands (glutinous rice-ice grade) still unappealing, and wish to increase your budget to purchase an ice-grade jadeite bracelet—how much does an ice-grade jadeite bracelet typically cost? Honestly, I can’t provide an exact answer to this question. Jadeite pricing lacks a standard formula, fluctuating with market conditions. I can only offer a general price range.
Setting color aside, let’s take white ice jade bracelets as an example. Currently, their prices generally range from 40,000 to 100,000 yuan. High-quality white ice jade bracelets typically start at around 61,000 yuan. Smaller-sized or slimmer white ice bracelets can be found for 10,000 to 30,000 yuan, and those with noticeable flaws may even be available for a few thousand yuan. Pricing varies significantly based on the specific quality of each white ice bracelet and cannot be generalized.
For example, the white ice jadeite bracelet pictured below typically ranges from 40,000 to 69,900 yuan. This piece features a 55mm circumference, double 10.5mm width and thickness, and is flawless with no cracks.
The entire bracelet exhibits ice-clear translucency with a subtle glow and a faint purple undertone, though not overly pronounced. Its gel-like texture is distinctly noticeable. This quality represents the pinnacle for white ice jadeite bracelets. Currently, nearly all ice-type bracelets circulating in the market under 100,000 yuan share this foundation. Bracelets of superior quality would be white high-ice jadeite bracelets. For those pursuing the ultimate, pieces like the one pictured below are sought after.
This high-ice bracelet features a 53mm opening, a classic imperial-style design, and commands a mid-range price. Its translucency is consistent throughout the entire circumference—not just half—which would command a different price point. Jadeite pricing is determined by its quality. This level of translucency allows it to pass through light effortlessly, showcasing remarkable rigidity. Pure white ice bracelets typically lack this structural integrity. It glows flawlessly from every angle, like a walking light bulb, fearless in the dark. Even the slightest light makes it shine!
Compare the luminosity and transparency of these two white ice bracelets, and you’ll see why high-ice bracelets command a premium. If this high-ice Empress bracelet were made with a solid gold ring of the same quality, its price doubling would be perfectly reasonable.
Since we’re on the topic, let’s also cover pricing for glass-base white ice bracelets. Glass-type white ice bracelets typically start around 200,000 yuan and can reach up to 1,000,000 yuan, though pricing varies based on each bracelet’s individual quality. For example, the wide-band, high-quality glass-base white ice jadeite bracelet shown below.
Compare this with the previous two bracelets. With a discerning eye, you’ll notice the difference in quality. The glass-base bracelet elevates its luminosity to another level—its surface sparkles intensely, radiating a skin-like luster that emits mesmerizing waves of light. It can be described as dazzlingly brilliant. This grade of white ice bracelet epitomizes the pinnacle of jadeite’s aesthetic appeal, The title “King of Jade” stems from this very quality, perfectly embodying vitality while naturally revealing the inherent grace and elegance within jadeite. It is simply beauty beyond words~
A slight surface imperfection keeps its price under 300,000 yuan. Without this flaw, it would command around 600,000 yuan. Such is the nature of jadeite pricing—the perfection you seek comes at a cost. So don’t casually demand a flawless bracelet while expecting it to be cheap.
That concludes today’s explanation on pricing for white ice jadeite bracelets within the ice-type category. Yet white ice bracelets represent merely the tip of the iceberg in jadeite bracelet pricing. Should these white ice pieces feature additional base colors or floral patterns, their value shifts entirely. Therefore, if you wish to purchase an ice-type jadeite bracelet and seek precise market rates, there is no fixed price—only a range. Its value fluctuates with market conditions!
