Morning Crosso!
Love your set... the gumballs are such nice colors and the echo to Solona is a great touch.
Here's a stack of my whites... the color is a little washed out because the lighting what's coming in through the window on a cloudy day.
For the Nephrite wearers...Does it have the same nice ring tone to it or is it softer . Does it feel different than jadeite? Thanks
PJCheeri I adore your collection!! Your bangle looks amazing with your ring. [emoji7]Thanks for all the eye candy!!
Well the Seller of the treated cracked bangle is refuting the return as he says there is nothing wrong with the bangle!!! I'm not going to respond to him until I figure it out. I think ebay would find in my favor. He knows nothing about jewelry & is listing.
His comment:
"Miss the bangle is a perfect jadeite jade bangle nothing wrong with the bangle.i inspected closely on microfine glass.. The color is natural. The bangle is natural. I inspected the intire piece. And you have the certificate card to prove. Go in the website on the card."
Heres what is also with one of those "certificates"!

Now if I paid $17 I would not mind!!
He has a score of 22 sales & with $20 bangles... He wanted $400 for this one...
Guess we should put a face to all this but I don;t suppose anyone else would be falling in his trap.

Guess I should not be mourning the loss of the $15 San Andreas angle...maybe the seller thinks she is doing me a favor!
I have to deal with Del GadoJadeHancho...
What can be done about this lab that is making money putting false grade A on treated bangles?
If it was untreated I would keep it but its not adding up to grade A...
What do I do...IS it??? I don;t know????
Its glowing blue
It thunks not rings
Those pits all over the entire surface???
Its packe up or I might try to measure the density but don;t think it would help.
OOOOhhh & the other seller canceling my order...
A part of me feels sorry for this seller who is perhaps is unknowingly sitting on thousands of $ of inferior likely ill certified jade but he's not going to charge me $200 for $20 jades without a fight!
Prime example $17...that's what his certificate is worth...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/302621529129
Yikes! I have seen his things on eBay and they are B or C and he is pretending they are A. Those crappy certificates can literally be printed by anybody. They mean less than nothing. So sorry you are having to deal with this.
Oooohhh love the goodies & give a shout out to all the vertically challenged out there,
Remember "Good Things Come in Small Packages too!"
I got a nice rack though when I got over 40 & gained a few lbs...
I've lied so much I'm not sure how short I am but it might be 4 ft 9 wo shoe or I'm shrinking...LOL
I'll wear a cuff...I love bold & I think it looks nice. In fact I don;t want too thin of a bangle.
Mine was 57 mm x 15 x 9 mm depth & I thought it was a great size.
Dark green & white is 55.5 x 13 x9mm & I can;t wait til she sneaks in the building...LOL...
Well here is me in in my late 30's...Cowboy boots & all!!!
I was sort of fashionable then but now I'm glad to just be alive!

Lol yes Chamelotsjadowjade good things come in small packages
I’m between 4 feet 9 and 10 as well [emoji6]. I don’t own a cuff jade bangle but I totally would wear one.
By the way you look great! [emoji6]
And to answer your nephrite question I only own one nephrite bangle ( thre one in my avatar) and I would say the feel is slightly different. It is not quite as cool to the touch as jadeite and it feels kinda almost buttery. As for the chime I’m not very good at distinguishing the sounds so I can’t comment.

OMG!!!!
I love that so much, Udalarike. Please PM me the artist if you don't mind. I want a carved one and I find it is hard to find a carved bangle that is well-crafted.

Silver Mom seriously has the best rainbow of jade sets!
Camelot, you are petite! I hear ya... I'm 5'0" and for all you never think about gaining weight on your wrists, it does happen. Haha, it's been years since I was a size 0-2, and I sized out of some of my rings as I gained over the decades.
I tend to be picky more about size for regular princesses and D shapes, but I'm willing to go all over for beautiful carved bangles within my budget.
Here's a repost of the most recent pic of the carved family... lots of size variety. That blue-green at the very end is 72mm and the yellow-red in the middle is 48.5mm. I have never tried to get it on because I know it would be impossible to get off again. lol The one that fits the best is the black one on my pinky.
Junkenpo, your collection of carved bangles are drool-worthy!

Thanks & welcome to the under 5 foot club!
OOh...interesting on the nephrite. It is less dense & scratches more easily but I read its more durable in the sense of its crystal structure which is ore fiberous. It is said to be more durable because of that even is its softer on the mohs scale.
Mineral composiition is different. wonder if one wears it for health benefits how that would affect it. I was sort of tempted to get one for my mom & her arthritis...I guess if jade cured arthritis we'd know about it already...Still they do say all those things about jade & the colors being good for different things. The scientist in me says its not that probable but the metaphysical side of me kind of believes crystals & these things do have a energy that perhaps scientific equipment is not technical enough to measure...
Would 19mm be a cuff? Its not that not that big & I would not call it a cuff but it would be impressive & the one I'm looking at is 90 grams which is quite a hunk!!!
