Hey everyone! It's been a while. Just wanted to stop by to say I love all the pics and seeing everyones new bangles and pieces.

Here's my Saturday stack- it's a cloudy day, but the shadows of my trees are in the bracelets.

Also, solo pics of my newest bangle, which I love more than the rest of them now. It is both very colorful and translucent enough to catch light and glow.

Wow! It is glowing! What is the reddish carved one?

This is a gorgeous stack EarthG. Where to begin? That dark green bangle is beautiful. So rich and shiny. Is it nephrite? The colourful bangle captures your name Earth Gatherer because the colours are of the earth. Like a beautiful mysterious forest in the sunset with a bit of blue sky.
What is the interesting middle bangle made of?

Thanks 2boys_jademommy. The dark green one is nephrite. It is very dark when it's cloudy, and bright green in the sun. But its a true green-green most of the time.

The one in the middle was a wooden bangle of my grandma's from WWII era. I think it's rosewood (?) my grandpa brought from the Philippines, but I can't be sure. I love the carvings on it.

I agree the new one is very Earthy. I feel like it looks like a watercolor of a slice of Earth from space. The pictures UJ had for it really didn't do it justice, and I have been wearing it and staring since it got here.
 
Good evening to all -

Just lovely, lovely photos :smile: Looking at everyone's pics has lifted my spirits after working a very long day! I wanted to comment on several pics, but I'm messing up the quote function somehow? Anyway, I'm ready for springtime - looking forward to seeing all the tulips and hyacinths! Also going to try to be more active this year, we'll see...:smile:

NG, I second everything you said [emoji4] I hope we both succeed. I’m definitely more active so far, I’m just hoping it stays that way. I used to love the cold weather, I always wanted to move to Canada as a kid. Now I can’t wait until spring, summer is a bit hard on my body, but the winters have been horrible. I don’t know if it’s the yo yo temperatures or what, but I’m am seriously contemplating a winter home in Arizona.

Sorry to go off topic, now back to regular scheduled programming [emoji6]

Here is the nephrite I wore today, I love the comfort fit on this bangle [emoji5]IMG_4469.jpgIMG_4470.jpgIMG_4471.jpg
 
Beautiful Jade, Jadies [emoji5] Quite a few pieces of eye candy to point out individually, they are all gorgeous! I do want to point out that the stacks are just TDF, I’m too chicken to wear more than one bangle on each wrist, but I [emoji173]️ how it looks. I have tried with a silver bangle as a bumper, but I didn’t wear it for more than a couple hours. Honestly, the stacks look soooo yummy [emoji39]
