I wear them a lot, Uli. However, they have screw backs and I promptly lost one
I am waiting for another set to come in so I can wear them.

So lovely! I love the beads, especially the wee frog!
My "yellow" nephrite arrived today. I'm a little sad it's not as yellow or as rich as the seller pictures made it out to be. The certificate actually calls it white and brown (if I google translated correctly). It's more like butter color with white swirls and some pretty cool brown inclusions that look like moss or roots. It's way more translucent than I thought nephrite could be, the shadow from my fingers is visible when held to light.
Hey EarthGather I really really like this one
There is some translucence which I think is always nice and the colour seems to be a chameleon. Bit of brown and light lime green in the first couple of pics and more yellow in the last pic. It looks to be quite thick as well. It’s truly lovely. [emoji4] How’s the fit?
I think it's kind of a butterscotch color, very nice!
Do you purchase the item already? Or are you thinking about it? I've been buying from gojade for years and if there was a flaw in the jade I was always given a refund of half or equivalent to the flaw. I've never had to do a return. You can check with your post office to be sure the cost is correct to ship back. You'll just need to let them know the measurements of the package and his address.
Hi everyone!!
EarthGatherer - Very pretty bangle, it's a lovely color! Looks beautifully polished too!
As to your comment on nephrite translucency: nephrite is, by and large, opaque to semi-translucent. However, you can also find some truly translucent pieces of nephrite with clean, uniform color, but it's relatively rare (and expensive) to find. Translucent nephrites tend to be white, but there are apple green translucent nephrites too. I've also seen some light grey and light brown nephrites that are truly translucent. So yeah, nephrites can be translucent
I hope you enjoy your new bangle!! It's a nice creamy color, I bet you can wear it with just about any other color for stacking!
Uli - such a lovely bangle - well, I'm a big fan of cuffs too
The lovely sky blue color is stands out as well, very lovely with your bead bracelet!
This is good to know -- I just received two pairs of earrings from them and one has a huge and deep scratch across the front )-:
Sorry to hear that the color doesn't match what you were expecting )-: That is never fun. I do like the translucency and how it's complicated . . . are you liking it better today?
Already purchased and just received after the usual long wait. Small flaw was mentioned, but more of a chip, (along with other not great areas) and color is way different than photo. It's not terrible, but disappointing. Then oddly enough, one that I didn't have high hopes for and was very inexpensive, is quite nice.
Do you have a photo? I'd mention it to him and see if you can get a refund before having to send it back. He's easy to work with.
I am liking it more today. It was a sunny day, and it seems to like the sun more. The fit is nice and comfy. I like the satiny feel of nephrite on my skin more than jadeite. Thanks for the nice comments everyone!
That is really a lovely color and texture, Earth Gatherer!
