Daisy, truth be told i find my green-lavender jades make me look a bit washed out, while the darker jades contrast nicely and makes me look fairer. Energy wise they all make me feel good... I find myself reaching for a piece of jade when i feel i need it. For my next purchase I hope to get one that actually matches my skin tone and is of a livelier colours, so i can wear it often! Bonus if it matches most of my outfits too! Tall order, lol!

Druzy, I fell in love with lavender jade when I saw my aunt wearing one. It looked beautiful on her. Have been looking for one for years but whenever I wear it, the colour looks gaudy on my skin. So strange!

As for my current bangle, I didn't like it when I saw it as I found the green streaks weird. My relative asked me to just slip it on. But when it's on me, it looked beautiful! The colour was in harmony with my skintone. So now, I'm simply loving it! :)

Exactly! That's why I am a bit hesitant to buy online, despite the attractive array of choices! May be beautiful on its own but clashes with me. Next jade purchase must pass the skin tone test...

And remember to view in a full mirror wearing it, small mirror doesn't do it! :)

Lucky you to find such a great deal. I have tiny wrist too and hardly found my size as I want to wear it snug.

Cung, I didn't buy it.... Sob. After so many months I still keep thinking of it. It was a rich lavender bangle that had deep saturated colors and looked like it was made for me.

I saw another apple-green translucent bangle too that was simply rare and stunning. The owner said she would have worn it herself except it didn't fit her. When I asked to try it, she told me it was $33,000 and that she's happy to sell if someone can pay that price. Needless to say , I didn't get to try it. :(

Why is there a gold clasp? Gold bands usually mean there's a flaw to hide. But that would be a hefty price for a flawed bangle!

I actually have a bangle that was not cracked but I had my jeweler put diamonds on it because I love diamonds and want it on everything.

Do you guys know whether it is hard to get a blue jade bangle? Wonder if they are rare.

The nice ones are extremely rare.

Pics from Taobao - $2.5 mil for the pair. They are mouth wateringly gorgeous though :love:

Storm Spirit, can you provide a couple of reliable jadeite vendors links on Taobao please?

A few reputable sellers I know of with their Taobao store links:

医神 http://easoneason.taobao.com/
Most of his bangles are fully round as opposed to round with flat inner rim. The round bangles he stocks also tend to be a bit chunkier than the traditional thin round bangles.

佳人美玉 http://shop35376616.taobao.com/
Stocks mostly mid-high end jade of different colours and patterns. My bangle was from here so I can say first hand that she's reputable.

信南 http://shop36383354.taobao.com/
Not a massive range, but his bangles are very very well priced

双儿飞飞 http://shop33552824.taobao.com/
Has a large price range of bangles, though they tend to be quite similar (green or white/light green with darker veins).

Hope this helps! :D
