Oh this is a wonderful idea!! I like it better than the two boxes I bought yesterday, I will find pics . . . this is so very clever!These are great if you want to hang them in a closet, over the door, or for travelling. Please excuse the night photos. My camera makes jade look so dull, like chalk, in the evenings.

Here are the two boxes I bought to try. The pic is from Amazon, second wouldn't let me get the picture so the link to Aliexpress. I am hoping they work but if not I guess we'll find a use for them!

Hailey is do pretty Tea! I love how there is so much “hail” going on in the bangle but there is a gentleness about her. The colours are soft and the bits are delicate. I hope she brings some calmness to you. [emoji3]
Yes Camel, I can't remember who posted about this appraiser but when they did I looked him up and I found that he had been arrested for some kind of jewelry fraud. You can google his name. Some one posted that he appraised their jewelry. I myself only use Hong Kong Jade and Stone Lab and the GIA. Scary that there are so many people that are dishonest that is why we should only go with the large and trusted labs that have a reputation to protect.

IWHLR, this one was scribbled out because someone had reported me that I would buy and sell.
This is not true! I made gifts and received gifts, that´s all.

I’m in a similar situation and sometimes it gets me down. I try to keep my eyes on the horizon and think about my blessings and my DD helps keep me focused. Hugs to you dear jade sister!
Your new piece is very nice. I like your description and I have one I named Stormy as it looks like storm clouds. I thought was appropriate to my circumstances. I hope your situation improves soon.
The sun will always break through and your life will be bright again.
Oh wow!! Some people are clearly at the wrong forum [emoji35]
I did google him about 6 months ago & just last night briefly & did not see the arrest!!! Shame!!!
It did appear to me that he was working with auction houses to make the items more desireable than they were...
Same thing with the chinese jade appraisers who issue those cards. One of them consistently lists A grade to bangles that are obviously dyed!!!!
DM was in Canada but China labs pretty much have little control...
I love these! The box where you stand up your bangles will work beautifully! I think you'll be very please.
China labs are very dangerous but you can pretty much trust the labs from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Jade and Stone lab has the best reputation and trusted around the world. They are the first lab to ever certify jade many many years ago and have the best reputation. People are really terrible. As a consumer we have to do our research. I have heard that in China, the more you pay, the better your certificate will be. Many people have told me that China labs are untrustworthy.
When I saw the beautiful jade bangle that he certified and what price it sold for, I knew he was not legit. That is why I checked out about him. Also, the price that the fake bangle actually sold for was really high for not being Grade A even tho it was beautiful. I have to say that I once bought a bangle and it was not Grade A and when I found out, it was the worst feeling ever so I can truly relate to anyone that buys unknowingly. Since then everything I buys has to come with a certificate from a reliable source. I feel much better about my purchases.

Teagansmum, this is an excellent idea, thanks for sharing it. There was a time when I was looking for some "easy access" storage for my bangles in particular. I have a proper place for them now, but every once in a while I still look for places where I can quickly store bangles that I wear often.
Also, I think it was Cyanide Rose that had a nice wooden neck-bust thingy that she had her jade beads on. I finally got one a few weeks ago at a second-hand shop, to put my heavier beaded strands on. Thanks ladies
