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!

I have a few thicker Hetian nephrite bangles but this one was the only bangle that had this little gold spots.
After I saw @teagansmum & @LunaDoo s replies,
I started to do a bit of research and your right @LunaDoo .... most times it is pyrite and occasionally it is actually gold or silver....
and even if it was--- they're so tiny, I don't think it even makes any difference lol!!!

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.
@teagansmum you are right!! gojade is great for his auctions and you can always ask him if he 'l go lower on a piece (I always do lol!!!)

I just saw that pyrite is also known as fools gold. Wouldn't it be awesome if it was real gold in jade!

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.
you'll get a

Thank you so much ms-loKA I’m afraid my jewel budget is tight too at the moment so I hear you [emoji4] I lpoked through gojades inventory and it was wonderful but of course I loved all the expensive ones [emoji20]

I would be grateful for any other names I could try on eBay or elsewhere x

I buy from gojade a lot but have also bought from only-jade. He has great pieces and great prices and is very honest about what he's selling. Always ask him to come down (-:
 
Ladies may I ask if u ladies adorn both wrist with bangles . As in wear jade bangles on both left and right hand ?

I feel that Caucasian ladies in general cN get away with chunky jewelery look but Asians are more petite hence too much jade might overwhelm us .

Usually I would do no more than 2 /3 jade items at a time .

I like the idea of one jade bangle on each hand with some light trinkets
 
Hello lovely jadie ladies! I finally found a pierced Hetian nephrite bangle that I adore! Have been looking at them for years, but always passed as either I didn't like the carving that well or the color was not the pure ivory 'mutton fat' color I prefer. This one is just perfect for me - I love the even creaminess of it and the feminine, curvy lotus carving! Her name, obviously, is Lakshmi, for the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity whose symbol is the lotus - since I could certainly always use more good fortune :)
