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 :smile:

Crosso, she's amazing!! I love her width and color so much. The designs are clean and clear. She was well worth waiting for!

Uggggh -- think I got burned again. Bought a pair of "nephrite jade" earrings with an appraisal but they came today and the "stones" feel like plastic )-: I hold them up to the light and can't see through them at all. WAHHHHHH!

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

Hi Bernie I wear a bangle on each wrist. I don’t like to stack jade so I wear one on each wrist. Sometimes I wear a jade ring as well or jade earrings so for me it is usually 2-3 item of jade. I’m very short [emoji6]

Wow I can see why you held out for this one Crosso! The colour is so creamy and ethereal.
It’s beautifully carved and looks absolutely stunning on you. Love the perfect name you chose. May Lakshmi bring you wealth, fortune and prosperity. [emoji4]

Bernie, I'm Caucasian and during the winter I will wear one on each wrist. Now that summers here and no need for sweaters, I'll double up on each wrist. This is my left wrist. I always wear wood bead spacers in between jade or thin plastic spacers.

I love the blue green transition in your bangle. The bluish green beads are lovely too! This is a gorgeous stack [emoji4]

Hey Jadies!
I remember seeing that some of you wear a jadeite pendant with a gold pendant/charm on the same chain. I can't find the photos and wondered if you could post some examples for me, please! Thanks :)
