Thanks ! Haha I couldn’t resist after seeing hers. Guess I have to shop for a belt soon , tighten the belly and saved some . It’s been almost a never ending jade shopping frenzy for the past month
Yeah I get this often with the faceted too . This was the one you tempted me to get as well . [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28][emoji28] always reminds you of Christmas lights , I recall you have said before .
The eBay listing says it's 100% Jade, undyed - no color enhancement, grade A.
I'm not 100% sure that this is the same bracelet in the listing or that it's 100% jade - you know how after you purchase something you decide "hey mebbe I should learn a little about it?"
That's pretty much what I did - I watched some videos that said it should ring when struck - and it doesn't - it kinda clanks/clicks. It wasn't terribly expensive, so I did't have super high expectations.
The other bracelet - the one I can't get on - is lovely. Translucent white with green flowers. My goal is to get it on… 3mm to go!
I have a gold and jade bracelet that I bought in Hong Kong years ago - I wear it every now and then - it's a bit fussy looking to me now.
Thanks again everyone for your kind words and welcoming!
(I'll post pics of the other 2 in a min)
Very pretty Cookiefiend! I especially love the bracelet. The fresh green jade is set off beautifully with the yellow gold. [emoji3]
What a lovely set! The green is so fresh.
Yes, it was custom made. I love Uli's snake, and I wanted something similar but with flowers. He never sent me a sketch or anything, just did it! The eye is something else, you don't see the black pupil from every angle, and then it just shows up. So lovely.
Thanks dingobeast and 2boys_jademommy - I think I know now that the 2 bangles aren't the best quality but I did get stopped in the grocery today by someone asking about my yellowish jade bangle (mountain dew - hahaha) - they were very intrigued by it!
So, we all need some inexpensive fun and if I learn along the way - its all good!
I appreciate your patience with me!
It’s a mesh bangle with crystals inside & magnetic closure. Super cheap on evil bay.
I remember this and Bernie’s black facet bangle. Very chic
So many gorgeous pieces here. [emoji3]
By the way BnG was it you who has that beautiful slim orange bangle? I remember a Jadie here had a whitish bangle with a beautiful bright patch of orange....I’ve been having orange jade on my mind lately. [emoji6]
Oh yes, that’s me. Let me see if I can find the pics
Thank you. Some of the other ladies here have bangles with the same cut. Jukenpo has a white one, I believe . The facets makes it look gemmy
