My jeweler has a pair of certified apple green bangle. The color is gorgeous...but they are not very translucent...price per bangle is over 15k. She has been slowly marking up her stocks after her trip to HK...so I don't know if she raises up their price tag yet.

Hi ladies, I'm sorry for not checking in sooner! I have some serious catching up to do I'm sure I've missed plenty of drool worthy jade!
I got my heart pendant in the mail and I'm happy with it. I'm excited to see it in natural light tomorrow.
It's pretty thin, but that makes it lightweight!

Even though I didn't plan it that way, it's a good match for my bangle

Here is a picture of it on. It's very difficult to take a flattering picture at this angle!

Very pretty. Matches your bangle perfectly!
Hum...Tiffin and BreadnGem....I would think my HG bangle would be a very clean, fine grain, even better... an icy bangle with clear, apple green, intense lavender all in a bangleThose colors can't mix into each other though...
Sounds lovely. Hopefully one day u will find it
It appears that apple green color is always priced higher. Same with lavender. The bangles u described sound beautiful : )
I was in
just thinking about it....wonder if I'll ever come across one...and when that day comes....wonder if I could even afford it 
What about your HG bangle?
Oh my! Those sound lovely. Any chance she'd let you take a picture of them? What size are they?

This is so pretty ... it's a beautiful match for your lavender bangle !
And a final pic of what I have been wearing lately....my latest jade companions...
Very beautiful bangles .. Love the earlier shots of the yukon too ...
I was in
What about your HG bangle?
Hi petals, as we speak here, indeed our HG bangles are being processed, carved and polished with color in some factory somewhere out there...
I don't supposed the Holy Grail is meant to be found...but it is iresistibly fun to find the amazing variations that come our way and call to us.
Good luck and Gong Xi Fa Cai to all dear friends and sisters who celebrate the coming of the Year of the Horse.

Ok my jade sisters...sorry that I haven't been around for a while...this thread is so hard to catch up...esp. with all those gorgeous pictures.
Here is a bangle that has been vacationing with me this week. My jeweler wants me to take it home with me ... such a bad temptation..I guess she knows me way too well when it comes to my love for jade. So I have been contemplating if I should keep it or not...
Here a bit of feast for your eyes ladies...
Yukon Snow wants to take a pic with her...
A pic of my other bangle..
Here's a modeling pic with her...
Amazing!
I like the the green roots on the new bangle. And it's a princess! Your lavender is gorgeous, too.
Thanks for sharing Yukon Snow again, I am so looking forward to mine!
It's beautiful and looks great with your bangle!
I didn't understand a word, but I watched it for the eye candy! So many pretty bangles!

Color (se)
This is the most important factor in the quality of fashioned jadeite. As per standard color nomenclature, jadeite's colors are best described by breaking them down into the three color components: hue (position on the color wheel), saturation (intensity), and tone (lightness or darkness). Color distribution must also be taken into account.

Referred to as "glass" jadeite, this rare pair of bangles (both 53.4 mm in interior diameter, with thicknesses of 9.6 and 9.7 mm) shows extraordinary translucency. These "glass" jade bangles sold for U.S. $116,000 at the November 1999 Christie's Hong Kong auction. Photo courtesy of and © Christie's Hong Kong and Tino Hammid.

this part intresting>>>
A-Jade is jadeite that has not been treated in any way other than cutting and polishing. Surface waxing is generally considered part of the "traditional" finishing process. Used to improve luster and fill surface fractures and pits, wax dipping is the final step in finishing virtually all cut jadeite
A process commonly used to enhance polished jadeite, waxing (or "wax dipping") is actually a simple procedure. First (top left), the bangles are soaked in a warm alkaline solution about 5–10 minutes to clean the residue left behind during polishing. Next they are rinsed, dried, and then soaked in an acidic "plum sauce" to remove any residue from the alkaline solution. Then, they are rinsed, dried, and placed in boiling water for several minutes (top right) to open the "pores" in the jadeite and bring it to the right temperature (to avoid cracking) before it is placed in a pre-melted wax solution for several minutes to several hours (bottom left). After waxing, the items are polished with a clean cloth to reveal their best luster (bottom right). Photos and description by Benjamin So.
