FraBa, I love the blend of colors in your bangle!

2boys_jademommy, the black nephrite photographs well... but I bet it looks even better in person.

I am waiting for a bangle in the mail today! I bought on eBay from mats_alice, a seller I saw mentioned a few times in this thread! A good selection of relatively inexpensive bangles. My first attempt at a bangle is attached. The color is a bit livelier in person, I'm surprised by how tough it was to try to catch the color accurately on camera. I mailed this one back because it was too small for comfort, but it'll be back in the shop soon, I'm sure. XD

IMG_20180316_100550.jpg It was an oval 54 x 49 mm inner diameter. It fit snugly around my wrist, but getting it on/off was a pain... I switch up my jewelry so I needed something that I could take on and off without the aid of special tricks! I hope I didn't overshoot and get my replacement bangle TOO big, but I'll find out soon.

This one is very nice but I if getting it on and off was very painful I think you made the right choice in returning it. Hopefully your new bangle will be just a lovely if not more so:)
Please post pics when it arrives!

Hello Jade Lovers!
Beautiful bangles everyone!!!
I was reading the thread for some months now and learned so much!
Thanks to the suggestions in the reputable sellers thread I bought my everyday bangle from Ultimate Jadeite on Etsy. I'm wearing her now 24/7 for the las 5 Months... She's a bluish green, light green and very faint lavender Jadeite bangle! I love the uniqueness in her spots and color transitions.
Here a pic when I first got her and one from now :)

Welcome to the Jade Lovers Group FraBa and your UJ bangle has such pretty greens in it. What a perfect everyday bangle. The one you suspect may be treated is pretty too. I’m pretty sure I have one of those in my collection. I need the get a black light.

Thank you very much Purse Nut! You all have so wonderful Jades :) For the moment I'm trying to just stick to one bangle which is very difficult with so much eye candy on this thread ;)

Haha, me too though. I am hoping one bangle will satisfy me for a time, and that the eye candy in this thread will keep me going while I soak up ideas and info for a date in the far future, but... a small part of me is thinking I'll probably have another piece before the year is out. There are just too many pretty varieties out there, and each stone is unique.

Mintea I totally get you and Purse Nut!!! I have a confession to make: while I was searching for my everyday bangle I bought 4 beaded jadeite bracelets and the pendant you see in my avatar...with the justification that there not bangles LOL
