Hello ladies! Lovely lovely bangles and bits! I have to admit to being a bit jealous (-:
Trying to decide on Allan's blue Guatemalan jade if I want a yellow spot or not. Which has me paralyzed . . . I am horrid with decisions!
How do you all store your bangles? I have been keeping them in the original boxes and have to admit that they are starting to get a bit banged up . . .

Hey IWHLVR are you deciding between a completely blue bangle or a blue bangle with a yellow spot? Hmm that would be tough as both would look lovely. Do you tend to like uniform looking bangles? Does the yellow spot add to the character of the bangle? Without seeing it it’s hard to give advice. Do you have a pic of the jade? I’m sure the answer will come to you soon enough. You should get the look that you can’t get out of your mind.
As for my bangles I store them in a jewellery box away from heat and and light and away from other jewellery.

Yes 2boys . . . Allan has a piece of Guatemalan jade that he can cut for me. (Back story, my two eldest were adopted from Guatemala and my son is from China so I like the idea of Guatemalan jade lol!) The question I am hung up on is do I want to try to include the yellow spot or not . . . it would be out of the same piece as this one . . . https://www.etsy.com/listing/554719580/guatemalan-blue-jadeite-bangle-1-60mm?ref=shop_home_active_38
but since it's not cut it's hard to know. I think I will honestly love it either way. I've been going back and forth for ages!
Right now my bangles are in this (bought as a gold box deal so didn't even pay half what it is now!) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071FG8LXJ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but there isn't really a great way to keep them safe there . . . it's narrow so the bangles don't lay flat & I worry about them bonking around so I've kept them in the boxes. Guess I have to look for a real jewelry box!

IWHLVR, I personally love yellow spots or any kind of spots! I have a rack that I hang my bangles on. I like to see them.

I love how your new bangle will represent your your children. It’s going to be so special. [emoji4]
I clicked on the link and that jade is beyond beautiful. I personally think the yellow will compliment the blue and give it a point of interest to look at. Good luck deciding - the right choice will come to you [emoji6]
As long as your bangles aren’t on top of each other I think your storage is ok for now.

This is a bangle rack that I have embarrassingly filled up quite a bit. https://www.amazon.com/Valentine-Sp...coding=UTF8&psc=1&ref=yo_pop_d_yo_pop_d_pd_t2

Dingobeast that’s a pretty cool rack. Storage of bangles and a nice way to display them too. So far I’ve kept my bangles on the individual boxes they come in but I’ve been looking for a decent size bangle box. This is another option though.
As for your jade color your deciding on, I looked at your jade via the link and I love the yellow in it. It’s a lovely highlighted area on the bangle. Yellow is always cheerful, like Spring Fairie with yellow (I forget who posted that bangle not too long ago).
But you should go with what you will like ultimately.
