So, I took off my blue & white bangle from the left hand to try to move it to my right for a snugger fit. Although no tears, I do remember yelling when I thought it was stuck half-way on. But, it's much more comfortable now, and I have a wider variety of what I can wear on the left since I don't have to coordinate any longer.

And I finally got an accurate color picture in indirect light while it was off. It's definitely my favorite!

That’s a very unique and pretty color combination. It looks good on your right hand. Bangles always look nicer worn snug. Do you think you will be able to remove it?

Maybe? If I do flexibility exercises and maybe let the right hand atrophy for a week or so. Haha. I didn't think I'd be able to get it off the left, but did- so anything is possible. :-)
 
Thank you two boys. Best Easter wishes and dreams of jade to you. Guess who we ran into when we went on our morning walk this morning in Waikiki. ADAM SANDLER the actor. LOL Here are some pictures I took of my Easter bangle under different lighting. The first one is under the mall lighting. And the second photo is under plain sunlight.

Adam Sandler is hilarious!! He also seems like he would be a nice guy:)
Your bangle looks magnificent under all lighting but particularly under the indoor mall lighting. The lavender looks most intense in that pick and more pink as well. [emoji7]
 
I forgot to wear my jade bangle today for the first time since I got it.... I feel so naked!

I missed so much in this thread already. So many lovely pictures posted. And now I have a bit of a craving to travel to visit some high end jade jewelry shops... *_* Though I feel I would need to do a lot of research beforehand, so that I didn't end up getting fleeced as a bumbling tourist.

Ohhh yes! I bought this monkey pendant last month and LOVED the carving but didn’t really checkout the size details [emoji85] it’s huge and way to heavy to wear for me. I keep it in my bag as a good luck charm.. haven’t got another solution sorry View attachment 4021107
I have to say that this carving is SO CUTE! I love it!

View attachment 4023935 View attachment 4023936 I had a very homely gold and diamond ring that I inherited and never wore. Mason-Kay sold me a bi set for earrings and they recommended a local jeweler who just did such a great job, so I let him take that ring make these settings.He does all their goldsmith work as well. If anyone on here is in CO I will tell you the jeweler.
MAN..... this sure is gorgeous!

Received a new bangle today- in an attempt to replace the one I had to return. Although it's imperfect with a surface reaching vein (aka crack) and not extremely fine texture, it's a very pretty faint green and white, and glossy and translucent. And I got it for a good price. I really am happy with it.

Only 1 more bangle on the way (a yellow nephrite), and then I'm done for a while. Pulling together this collection has taken more time and more returns/exchanges than I planned for.20180403_164030.jpg 20180403_163806.jpg

Lovely spot of green on that! Can’t wait to see your yellow nephrite.

Your jeweller did a wonderful job. Something very classic yet modern about these earrings.
They look smashing on you Dingobeast. [emoji6]
