Keep the gorgeous photos coming everyone! Here's mine for today - a nephrite jade bangle with a fake jade ring and a real jade ring. But the fake jade ring is not really an imposter because it was accurately advertised as a chrysoprase stone. Though some unscrupulous sellers might try to pass off chrysoprase as jade/jadeite. The real jade ring is Guatemalan jadeite in a fun chambray denim blue color. Both are set in sterling silver. I really should wear my chrysoprase ring more often. It looks nice with jade doesn't it! ;)
 
Jade4me,
your chrysopras ring is WONDERFUL!! I have always loved chrysopras although I have none.
I definitely would wear it very often if I were you!!
And your bangle and jade ring are very beautiful too!
 
Will do! Unfortunately I own neither the necklace nor the earrings...."yet" on the earrings, I will probably get them. The necklace is $59,000 and not happening.

Found a pic of the earrings. I've tried them on twice and I adore them....a "must have" with my coloring (photo credit London Jewelers):

OMG so special!!! Please share modeling pics if you get them.
Statement strong, yet delicate!
 
Molly, your apple pendant is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sweet!!
I haven´t forgot it since I first saw it....

So pretty!

Thanks for the compliments Uli and lsk!

It always makes me think of my Dad, since I found it and purchased it when he passed away, and I read that rhodonite will help in dealing with grief. Somehow I attached that task to it, so it's special to me. It's funny the things we attach to our jewelry isn't it?
 
Either we or others attach the sentimental value to our jewelry.
For example, I have some gifts of dear friends that are important because of the beauty AND the feeling attached.
 
Where Does It Come From... Rhodonite Meaning

The name Rhodonite comes from the Greek word meaning 'a rose', which relates to its rose pink color. These stones come in a range of colors from pale pink though to a deep rose pink almost red. Although the lighter pink stones are becoming more popular you will see many stones that are a deeper pink with inclusions of black manganese oxide in them.
