The JADE thread!

It is Fascinating to me how interchangeable the colour is. Today it looks positively white and on other days quite green!View attachment 4053366View attachment 4053368
I just wish I could fit it on my right hand as I wear my love bracelets on my left [emoji20]hoping to lose some weight!!

It's so beautiful! I'm far from a pro at telling by photos but it very well could be jadeite and I hope so. Please let us know when you find out. You could always do an easy gravity test to give an idea. I'm sure she's beautiful on either wrist you put her on.

I am back from the local gem show with pretties to share! I’m a little bumed out I found little nephrite jewelry (most were carvings that I wouldn’t know where to put them) and well, a bangle i passed up for another that I should if just bought because I didn’t have a ruler on me and urgh, brain not thinking right how warm and puffed up my hands were later in the day (bah allergy season) and it didn’t fit at the time but it totally would if I popped it in first thing in the morning... well, we live and learn. ANYWHO. Less rambling, more photos!

Here’s the new bangle (bottom; It will probably be a right hand one since it’s a bit bigger) with my “screen colour is different” bangle (top). It’s a similar blueish-green tone but much lighter and I’m not feeling the other one no matter how I tried since I got her so I’m considering gifting it off.

And this was my mistake lol... this is indicative to a treated piece, yes? I'll probebly home test it when I have some free time next. It was cheap and I snagged it in my way out being a bit too excited that it would match well with my MIL bangle (second pic):

... i might just convert it to a hanging charm rather than being a piece of worn jewelry.

And last but not least, sporting a stack the first time! Not sure if I can get used to wearing more than one bracelet at a time, but we’ll see!

Such gorgeous finds!!! I'd think the disk was grade A myself and goes lovely with your matching bangle. I love all your prices.

Wow! That is not a commonly seen pet bird. Do you have other parrots?

I have Rio on my avi a Crimson Bellied Conure for about 4 years.
They are very rare but someone sort of local had to rehome her & I was lucky she chose me...

Ms Blue I love the black bangles!! The first one has an interesting shape - a d-shape with straight edges and I love the faceted bangle. So sparkly!
Wow I’m sorry to hear what happened to your little guy. I hope he’s ok now.
You have 4 boys - I’m super busy with just 2 [emoji6]

Hello 2boys!!! how have you been???
I've been busy with my son's health dilemma.... seems ongoing for sure despite the immediate care he got after all that happened.
Those 2 black bangles are both nephrites. The first one with the semanario bangles (7 day bangles) is a princess round... it has some tiny specks of something gold (??) and I wonder to myself-- could it be "real" gold??!! it also has a slight green spotting peppered with the tiny gold specks.
The black faceted is one I wanted for years!! I kept thinking about it all the time...until my husband finally got it about a month ago. NOW I am a believer to "drawing" something with your mind AND that if you and the jade piece are meant to be-- it will happen! I loved it so much but never thought i would get it and there it was one day! I admired it for 5 yrs from afar.... I am a TRUE jade stalker!!!
things have just began to calm down with Tyson ... now I am able to pass more time on JF

@ms_loKAbLue13 ugh kids can be real little ****s. I hope your son is doing well!
I like the font showing the time on your phone, very fun. Your faceted bangle is cool as well!

@camelotshadowjade wooow what a magnificent bird!

@mewt -- kids can definitely be lil punks! i was just shocked that it happened. I'm hoping for calmer days.... it's been a crazy ride!
I think its probably because i jist screenshotted the pictures lol!! they were posting.... thanks for the s/o on the black faceted!!! still thinking on a name for her. the princess round's name is "Butter" because shes my "worry stone" and the softest out of all my nephrite bangles

Well teagansmum you were right it’s is indeed serpentine! I am disappointed as you can imagine [emoji20][emoji27]

I would love to ask you lovely jadieladies for help in finding a real jade bangle as now I am OBSESSED and would love a real one

At least I can now have a 63mm that fits on my right hand - silver lining...

I'm sorry it's not jadeite, but you have loved it, so continue doing so. Its so pretty with its color changing. How did you find out? You wont have any troubles finding a jadeite bangle with help here. We know many reputable sellers where you can find certified and non certified true jadeite. Do you have a price range? Is 63mm the best for size for you? No smaller or larger?

Well in all honesty I have never looked at buying one so have no idea of pricing! As I said the serpentine was purchased in a thrift shop [emoji5]Also I am in Australia but am happy to purchase on US ebay etc or Etsy [emoji4]

In terms of 63mm I presume that is the measurement of the opening? The other was 62mm and too small for my right hand so I would like bigger so I can squeeze it on maybe it should be bigger than 63mm?

So many questions, [emoji52]

Hello! I've been busy with my 4 boys and their sports and whatnot. Plus, my youngest son was on a ski field trip at the end of last yr and was given "Gatorade" by a child and it was really toilet cleaner. so that's kept me busy.
BUT I wanted to share a couple new bangles I got.... I've got a few but these are the ones easiest to find in my pictures
I hope you are all doing well. Much jade love!!!!

LOVE that faceted one!

 

[IWHLVR]

Been busy getting a Hawk Head Parrot...she arrived yesterday so we are getting acquainted. Penny is a doll & loves to laugh. Can't wait til she is more comfy in her new home...

Hope jade can stand up to that beak!

She is SUCH a pretty Penny! I love parrots and have wanted one since I was a teen but every time I get close to adding one I get the guilts since with my busy lifestyle I don't think I can give it the attention they need )-: So we stick with one spoiled cockatiel!

 

[ms_loKAbLue13]

LOVE that faceted one!

thanks!!! I've been watching it for years!! I kept checking on it occasionally to see if it had been sold (like a nut!)

Teagansmum is right!! we all know of reputable sellers lol!! I know I am always looking for inexpensive jade bangles to wear daily for health reasons(I'm cheap & broke unless I really love a bangle, then I 'll come out of pocket lol)-- and many of these ladies know good places to get higher end bangles.

I wanted to ask everyone-- has anyone ever seen little gold specks on their nephrite pieces?
I've been wondering about my nephrite bangle "Butter." there's little specks in a spot.... I was wondering what they are or if anyone has every seen them??

Yes, my hetian bangle has those gold specks and jade4me's hetian bangles have those too. Can't remember what they are called but they are some hetian, and are gorgeous!

Gojade has some 63mm jadeite bangles on EBay. Sometimes he starts his bangles quite low for you to bid, or he has buy it now on other bangles too. His all come with certificates.
