Ladies, I want to share my heart broken new. I saw this bangle last night and totally IN LOVE. I was hoping it's something that I can afford....sigh! The seller just replied to me that it's $25k AUD. :sad:

I feel your pain - this one is tdf! Vibrant violet with gorgeous swirls of emerald. Wonder if it will go to a Jadie here....
 
How gorgeous Purse Nut! The colour is very soft and serene. I can see both lavender and mint green. How’s the fit?

Thanks 2boys jademommy. I think her name is Serenity. Your description is so perfect! Thanks!
The fit is perfect she’s a 57mm. My nephrite is a 56mm.
Serenity is fine textured, translucent and very shiny which is hard to show with a phone camera. Has one internal stone line that’s barely noticeable. That’s the only blemish I could find as the listing description said.
 
View attachment 3995377 And here's how I've been wearing my little disk that was originally set in a ring-- it measures about 14.5mm. Still want to get some sort of bale though, since only the thinnest chain can fit through the center.

This is the sweetest pic pendant LunaDoo [emoji7]
The colour is incredible!
Also love your new bangle. Funny how you can actually “fall in love” with a bangle and can’t get it out of your mind. I’m happy it’s yours:)

Serenity is the perfect name for your new bangle. [emoji4] So happy for all the Jadies here and their new treasures. Lots of eye candy!![emoji6]
 
Recently got a jadeite bangle from a vintage jewelry seller that I've known for a quite a while. It looks mostly white, but actually has some very, very pale green to it. Although fairly opaque, it has fine grain, high chime, and it's smooth-- only a couple of blemishes, both inside. (Looks shinier "in person" than in these photos.) Much "plainer" and paler than my usual type, but it had stayed on my mind since I first saw it a few months ago. I thought it over, and I then realized that I would be very disappointed if I found out that someone else had bought it. SG/UV/loupe all checks out. Name suggestions?

It is lovely, it reminds me of a sky thinking about a summer storm.

I am pretty fortunate to have the only Mason Kay near me. I always thought they were in each state, but they are just here in CO, which I didn’t realize until last week. They just authenticated my good bangles, they do a more in depth process than the GIA certification, so maybe it is worth it to send to them?
I am thinking yes, I need to send them on to Mason Kay!
 
These beads look adorable!! I bet they match with just about everything. Reminds me of a pretty beaded necklace JKP has as well:)

I know the one and it’s so pretty. Also Crosso does wire work. These inspired me to start wIre wrapping. I made a bracelet posted last summer I think. Crosso strung knotted bead necklaces that are really awesome. I want to do something simple to hang my bat with peach pendant.
