Uh oh, looks like I need a koi bracelet too. This is so adorable! I like it very much with the beads. Is 3jade the vendor source?Hi Uli, I loved your goldfish bracelet so much, I made one for myself with a 3Jade goldfish and some nephrite beads I re-purposed from a necklace.
Now we are matching! I hope you are not mad at me for taking your idea
I polished the nephrite pendant with 14000 grit on the dremel so it's a bit more shiny. Getting the polishing compound out of the scales carving is a pain tho, there is still some left in there you can see in this pic. LOL
BTW the bangle is Yennefer, a black and white jadeite that reminds me of a granite counter top. LOL, someone here had said before that a bangle reminded them of granite counter top and this in the one that does it for me. (Must wear white spot facing up!)

These are so pretty. They glow! Is this called mutton jade?I have to share now that I finally found a match (or a pretty close one [emoji4]) to my carved necklace. I wanted to wear the necklace to my son’s wedding, so the hunt was on! I’m so pleased [emoji1] I hope all the Jadies are enjoying your day! View attachment 4435140
Yes, Thanks! That’s exactly what I had in mindThank you for the kind words, Uli! Sold out? Your creativity has started a trend, dear Uli!
The celadon beads were not from 3jade and I never wore them because I thought they were too blah (and made me look my age ) though I love the color, so I borrowed some beads from it for the fish bracelet and they matched so well, I decided to go for the full necklace. I think it gave it an updated look. I like it so much that I will wear it to graduation in a few weeks, (not mine, LOL, I am a teacher.)
C Rose, here is some inspiration for your new beads. (These are not mine.) Your carved beads are exquisite! The bracelet is a perfect color match, good eye! It makes a great set and the change in shape gives it a modern twist.

Thanks so much essiedub! I just called them white jade I have seen so many different looking jade pieces called that, I’m not sure what it is exactly and there is so much scrutiny with it.These are so pretty. They glow! Is this called mutton jade?
Very nice! You will have to post pictures of this dremel thing you use and these bits. I need one but I might be dangerous once I have it lolPeaches!
The honey one is the one from UJ. It came with a very narrow hole that was drilled kind of sideways so I widened the hole to accept a bail with a diamond drill bit under the dripping garden faucet and it worked out surprisingly well. The other one is a free gift that came with something.
Hopefully, now they have usable bails.View attachment 4435360

This is a beautiful set C Rose and perfect for such a special day. What colour will your dress be?
Thank you 2BJM! The seller was really sweet to include the peach gift. It was All About Jade I think.The honey peach is so sweet! Looks good on you and the pretty lavender peach is a very generous free gift [emoji6]
Thanks so much my friend! I’m thinking of maybe a blush or a pale yellow. Sorry I don’t wear dresses [emoji4] I’m was thinking about a pant suit, but neighbor suggested a jumper. So I’m exploring that option as well.
It’s going to be interesting because I’m going to do a dance routine with my son to an upbeat song. I think it will be “Happy” because I’m so happy he is moving out LOL [emoji23] It’s gonna be a fun time.
