3jems, thanks for sharing about color polish. Wow, your teacher at NGI is on the cutting edge of his trade. I'd love to meet him and ask some questions, especially about this polish thing.

Today I went for a manicure wearing my first lavender-green bangle. I asked if they could let me put it under the light for a few seconds. During the nail drying process, I'd seen how my nails were neon blue, if you can imagine that. A bit like glow in the dark kind of effect. When I put the bangle in, there was nothing like that. It just looked like a bangle put under light. So I guess it's probably an A?

If so, it is a fine-grained A bangle, like what Storm Spirit mentioned before. My penlight shows tiny fly wing crystals and a somewhat dense structure, some natural pits but not spider-webby. So maybe i got lucky and got an A for my first bangle. It's just strange that for a fine grained, it doesn't look very luminous or moist on my wrist.

I really must make a trip down to NGI when I am in town and get myself educated.

Here's a pic of my bangle. The light is flattering here.

Druzy, your bangle is very gorgeous. Very translucent. Where did you get it?

Faithgrace- loving your new pinky Oliver and the miss green patch .

[/IturtleB]- seems like carved bangles are de riguer now :) . I concur with the other jadeite sistas here that the one you bought from gege has a very strong presence ! I love the hk purchases by your mommy . It's difficult not to get tempted when go go hk yes?

Druzy- yes I agree with Claire that your lavender is 46?!#€>> Awesome. Love the soft. Dreamy lavender shade. Will u wear this over cny or are you sticking to mossy :)

Dynasty!!! I dunno what to say except Omg when u saw your bangle... It's beautiful ... Love that it is thick and the violet glow and translucence is to die for . Your baby girl is so cute ... What a neat idea to put a bangle on her ... Is she enthralled and using it as a teether!

Very pretty! I really like it!

Finally my Fat Baby Peaches is here!

Wow! This is beautiful! All of you are making me rethink violet.


My baby girl with her very first jade bangle :heart:

Your baby girl is so cute!! Her bangle looks perfect on her! When I took DS to the mall over the weekend, there was a little girl (maybe 1.5yr) with 3 jade bangles and a small gold bangle stacked on her wrist in the play area.... so cute and such a nice sound!

Right after I said the weather is beautiful it got cloudy. LOL

It has been drizzling all day and overcast. Normally I love the weather like this but today I am so grouchy.

Hi sisters, I find this black/lavender jade beads bracelet on ebay, what you all think?

Neat! What would you pair it with?
 
Dynasty, your daughter is adorable! Peaches is just lovely too. It really looks like violet and violet 2. It's from the same boulder, right?

Germanshepard, I agree, that bangle is gorgeous! I love the carving. Wow, if one could only win the auction. Are you going to bid?
Clairejune, I remember you mentioned the carving skill of the latest jade is not as delicate. When I stumbled upon the carved bangle, I just know you will love it. Please bid if you want. Am heading back to my home town in Borneo for Chinese New Year. Don't think I have time to bid. :smile1:
 
3gems- I m quite shocked at your finding about the color polish thing and frankly I think I agree on your decision to get a refund despite it being grade A . We buy bangles based in how it looks at point of purchase do no point buying it and feeling uncomfortable about how it should look if the color fades etc. Does this color polishing things usually apply just to oil green bangles or bluish tones ones.... I was interested in a bluish bangle mil has earlier... Now this is so e good for thought after u have a major discovery on this color polishing issue. But u can keep your $$$ for more drool worthy things u are sure about in near future yes!!!



Mil got off morning flight and brought back this carved bangle from hk .. Actually I tried this bangle on during dec Xmas trip. It is. Very small only about 50 mm, that's why it's still un sold ... So I told her to get it .

To be honest ... I m averse to carved jade bangles with too many things ruyis plus peaches plus dragons plus Phoenix ... Throw in a couple of clouds too . But somehow this one has very minimal carving which appeal to me. Just a peach and ruyi on one side and a ruyi on the other side . I would have like it alittle better if it wasn't decorated by the beaded border.. But that doesn't bother me too much because I kinda find the peach and ruyi carving dainty enough ..
