Thank you, 2 boys and PurseNut! It is 40mm. Beautiful and soothing colour, I think.

Finally! I have the computer up and running! First, pics of the "jadeite" bangle I sent back . . . caught the chunkiness but really couldn't catch all the shiny reflective bits in the bangle, they just look like little glints here. Pretty sure it was really quartz )-: Still waiting to see if I really get the refund as promised!

My lavendar bangle and matching beads from only-jade. She sings like a beauty and I love her! Very even color. Pic on the pool deck is the prettiest but really more purple than she is irl . . . I love the matching beads in the sun because in regular light they look like a very well matched string, but in the sun you see subtle changes in color, more pink, blue, grey, white, etc.

Thank you so much Pjcherri, it is funny how everyone has a different idea of imperial green. I would love to see it. I am thinking from your description that it is a much darker green than I am used to seeing. Are the pieces expensive that you see in the stores?
SM that's interesting, I wasn't aware imperial green had such a discrepancy. Last time I was in those jewelry stores I wasn't specifically looking for jade (especially after my mother warned me about the increase of fakes over the years, I thought I'd read up on it before I bought anything) but now that I kinda am, I'll try to get you some information next time I get a chance to go!
Awww thank you Pjcherri. I would very much appreciate it. Everyone talks about the imperial green but it is quite rare so not seen often. I would really like to see how it looks. Can you also check on the price for me too. You are truly a sweetheart.
Silver Mom, here are some pictures of imperial green bangles. My impression was that it wasn't only the color, but the impeccable quality that was the original "imperial." Guess how much one of these bangles cost?
OMG MUCHO BEAUTIFUL Luna!!!!! I think they might be a couple of million USD. Ohhhh so lovely. Like I say I NEVER see this anywhere. Luna, by impeccable quality are you meaning that it is super icy translucent....almost transparent with color. I am wondering if imperial green refers to how translucent it is as opposed to beautiful green color. I was told by a on line seller that imperial jadeite is classified imperial not because of it's translucency but more so for it's color. But other sellers have told me that it refers to both translucency as well as color and still others have told me other things. So I am really confused. LOL Does anybody else know? Would love to hear everyone's opinions.
