Thank you for sharing your preferences. It is a personal decision...just didnt know if some regretted certain issues or benefited from ones. I think the most challenging issue for me is trying decide the main color and from there certain characteristics like floating flowers, opacity, color evenness AND if I am getting the most out of my investment.As other jade sisters have mentioned, jade is such a personal choice. I recommend you take your time looking and when one calls out to you, try it. My own collection started with light/apple green and pastel opaque lavender, but now I prefer dark bangles. But I still wear my light color ones. I like changing them out depending on my mood and my outfits, so I personally prefer a variety of colors, widths, and having both princess rounds and D-shapes.
May I ask if you ask certain questions before purchasing? What I have so far is for the seller to detail flaws such as internal or visible and surface-reaching stone veins, or cotton, fissures, nicks, chips, as well as to describe how the colors look to the eye. Any other suggestions I'd appreciate
