Editor: Yes, they all have the same definition "slender white hands"
That definition can be found in the DNA -- dict.cn, nciku.com & ABC ;-)
However, M & Z do not directly mention anything about slenderness
And there's 玉手纤纤 for describing *slender* white hands
I think a metaphor in English which matches 玉 in describing hands is the *lily*
Diff:
# 玉手 玉手 [yu4 shou3] /slender white hands/
+ 玉手 玉手 [yu4 shou3] /lily-white hands/
