Cookie fiend I love your bangle! I have just looked and seen that mine looks like it has an internal flaw that doesn’t come to the surface??

I'll keep an eye out for any interesting designs from his collection! He has a neat-o bangle collection but I only found videos, rather than images, so I didn't post those.
My bangle has that too! I think it's fine as long as the outside feels smooth, especially when you run a fingernail over top. Would love to hear a second opinion.
Also, love the translucency in your bangle. Like a calm river.
Just bought a 24k gold bangle today and have to say it goes well with jadeite!

Very beautiful gold bangle. Your bangle looks very shiny and translucent too
I’m not sure how to test jade on our own, perhaps someone else could chime in, but your bangle looks very translucent. Do you wear it often?
Thanks for your reply BreadnGem. Well in all honesty I have only just found it again after moving house. I bought it very cheaply in a second hand shop for a couple of dollars. So I have just started to wear it [emoji18] another pic of the flaw under lamp light...
I've watched my jade seller string these. The elastic cord can be found in different thicknesses and colours. She usually picks a thickness that can go through the hole doubled. Then she uses something stiff like a short doubled strand of fishing line as a makeshift needle to thread the doubled elastic cord through. After the last bead, she removes the fishing line. The strand of beads now has a elastic loop at one end and two tails at the other. She then ties the two tails through the loop and trims the ends. She uses a surgical knot pulled tight, which can slip into the bead hole.I've become addicted to these jadeite beads and have had trouble finding a way to string them without the elastic Knott sticking out. This type of elastic is great as it does hold the Knott tight, but as you can see in the photo, it sticks out.
E-6000 glue is the best as it stays flexible unlike crazy glue or such. It's pretty cheap on eBay and really holds the Knott for extra strength.
Miznini your bangle is quite translucent. What a lovely surprise to find during your move
Do you wear it often? I have a bangle with similar colour. Will post later if I’m not too lazy.

The gold bangle looks amazing with your jade Mewt. Your bangle is very translucent and I love the dark greens. The colours are very soothing and mesmerizing. [emoji7]
The Mountain Dew (63mm) came from jewelry_mall88 on eBay, the white and green bangle (60mm) came from orientdragon2012, also on eBay. The gold and jade bracelet came from a seller in Hong Kong - 18 years ago. The 'flowers' in the light green bangle are really pretty.
Both bangles are flat on the inside though - and right now I just can't get the white and green bangle on. I am going to try the ice water soaking though and I have been - uh - kind of massaging my hand to try to loosen up my hand.
I know the smaller would fit better - less flopping on my wrist - but currently getting the larger one (Mountain Dew) is still a bit of a struggle! Not as bad as it was at first (omg what a help to learn I should lotion or oil my hand first!) and no brusing - and now I'm not scared I won't be able to get it off!
I did have a moment of panic when I first got it on! I appreciate so much everyone's help!
oooo - i love the soft colors!View attachment 4050258 View attachment 4050259 Cookiefiend, here's the one I mentioned -- more of a 7UP if it were a soda.
I think (because I don't know and I'm certainly no expert) that because Jade is a stone, some lines and things like that are normal… it's basically a rock right?
I think that if you don't feel it on the outside it's perfectly normal and part of the jade itself. That said - I might be careful not to bang it hard at that spot?
I love this color! So pretty too with the gold!I'll keep an eye out for any interesting designs from his collection! He has a neat-o bangle collection but I only found videos, rather than images, so I didn't post those.
