Very unique and marvellous bangle, Baghera!!
Was it expensive?


This was discounted as one section is narrower by 0.5 mm and stated as such by UJ. $80+ with no additional discounts. I'm hoping to find a reddish-yellow-honey one for fall (in my price range). Any recommended sellers in SF? I'll be visiting next month. I'm looking forward to browsing around at Lang's and Gumps but the merchandise is over my budget.
 
Baghera, you can visit Anne's in San Jose. Another jade sister recommended it to me months ago who has bought from them. In addition, this is the shop that my husband bought my yellow Sonoma bangle from. It's in a mall, which has other jade sellers there too. I believe that AJ bought her Silkie from a neighboring store. Definitely less expensive then Gumps! AND, you must try to make it to Lang's! A big plus is that it is right in the center of town, near Union Square and very close to all the cool shops and China Town. There are other stores in Oakland and such...it all depends on how mobile you are.

Congrats on the new bangle! It looks much more expensive then what you paid, and most importantly, looks GREAT on you! Have you thought of a name?

Red - Try to stay strong, for yourself, and for those who love and care about you.

Claire - Indeed, it takes a lot to smile when in sorrow.

Uli - Please take care, stay healthy.

GS - Luv ya.

AJ - Baby stage will soon pass, happy mom is the most essential.

Tea - Is raining again, grump.

Am very very sorry I can't address to everyone, but, my lovely Jade sisters, you are always in my thought, take care, talk to you all soon
 
GS, wow, your coming dark green is Beautiful! I am captivated! Feels like a slice of the soul of the earth to me. AND, I'm in love with your carved nephrite. Such simple, clean lines and forms. Strikes a great balance between complexity and simplicity, volume and airy-ness. Great finds!

Uli, whatever the sword is, it has such lovely colors and pattern, it hardly matters because it's lovely! So sorry about your sadness! This must be torturous. I really think it might have something to do with the customs there...not that it helps much..
 
I will upload some pictures soon...I've been falling in love with the new oval today. I had the strangest sensation that it should be next to Big Blue for energy, almost as if it were lonely. I've never felt that before with any jade. It seems like a deeply old piece to me somehow, also a slice of spirit.

I took the day off from work today, so I think I'll go down to the jeweler and start talking about the hinge!

Hugs sisters.

We all went through different phase of life this year and not all are sweet. A good thing is we always know there is someone at the other end who care for us. :D

Thank you, Claire.

Took my seller's advice to collect 1 Hetian pendant and bangle. I have asked her to keep one Hetian bangle for me end of this year.

I feel like a jade hunter sometimes. Eeeekkk...
