I live in the US now, but I used to live in Singapore. I probably won’t be going there anytime in the near future though, so I don’t think I’ll be collecting anymore jade for now, as I don’t really like to buy it online. Are you in Singapore?

Nope I’m in Malaysia , which is located next to Singapore haha.
Hope you find your dream piece soon!

I used to think I like lavenders best, but turns out I still like green best. A quick update on my deal with the seller I was suppose to meet last night. She has stuffs to do ended up meeting up with her just now.
Glad I got the bangle. Never knew a thin princess would be so comfortable. Really like this piece, the translucency, color and water-ness in it.
I think I might’ve just found my forever piece. Can’t stop staring at it!!
I don’t think I’ll ever wanna switch it out. I feel so contented with this piece.
Thanks for letting me share my joy! Do Ignore my dry patchy hand haha
 
There is so much variety in jade color. What are y'all favorites at the moment?

I'm still very much attached to white/green "moss in snow" although black is a close second. If I could find/afford it, I'd love a bangle in the same light blue color as my donut. I like bright green in small bits. I wouldn't turn down a full bangle in imperial green, but I know there is no way I could afford it in this life time, haha.

Here's a repost of colors plus my donut.
Your donut is gorgeous! My favorite color range is the blue-lavender cool hues. Though I appreciate greens very much on others, I tend to wear green less as a color in general. I also very much love black and white nephrite.

Congrats! It’s very beautiful and goes with everything. The water quality is amazing! You can also stack other bangles around it. I have a slim princess which I tend to wear other bracelets with. Here’s a picture of one combination....

This really is a true everyday piece!!! V translucent!! The colour can easily match with different style. Did you get this from a shop?

Thank you dingo....it’s funny coz for a long while I never thought green bangle worked for me. The pop of apple green changed the perception later..

The shop is in China and they showed a sample of cert for another bangle from this website. (www.ngstc.cn) the code from the sample worked when searching. However they haven’t got the cert for the bangle I wanted. With that, I’m still hesitant. there’s another photo they gave me showing some flaw of the bangle with lines and impurities but the shop person said these are not cracks...

Maybe I’ll sleep on this and think hard again tomorrow.

Thanks for letting me share this and please please do let me know any advice or thoughts too!

Ok.. a follow up on my bangle hunting. I went to a shop near home to check out some more bangles. Instead of yellow jadeite, I ended up with something totally irrelevant and unexpected.

It wasn’t attractive at the first sight and not the usual go to style. It’s a wide bangle, almost 20 mm wide. The lady in shop said it won’t hurt to just try it on and insisted I should just put it on. Bang! There’s a chemistry immediately.

Lavender and light green base with very very dark green patches. The green patches are like a flaw. Somehow interesting to look at!

I call it Grass Jelly now lol hope you also see the resemblance!

Very nice and it’s so interesting that you were captivated once you put the bangle on. I believe in jade karma and this was meant to be yours. [emoji6]

Thanks for the suggestion!! Will try to get some bangles to match it. Yours loooks absolutely stunning btw!

Ahh it looks stunning. I get why you call it grass jelly.
The bangle is beautiful. Like the lavender parts. Amazing how the lavender turns out really dark (cause most lavender are pale to light)
Truly one in a kind piece!!
I feel you doll, sometimes you just get attracted to the most unexpected pieces at the unexpected time. I believe we’re somehow fated with the type of bangles we have and are yet to buy, as if you’re destined to find it. The ONEEEE for youuuuuu~
 
Haven't posted for awhile. I have a sad story to share. I had this child size bangle that I loved and decided to wear it as a pendant. I also happened to have a little gold bangle that fit inside it perfectly. So I looped a cheapy black microsuede cord around the two bangles and it worked..actually looked quite chic. Long story short, the cord broke and the “pendant” dropped onto pavement and cracked into 4 pieces...funny thing is that as I was driving, I actually thought about the cord being the weak point in my little creation.:doh: Well sure enough..here she is:crybaby:

Here it is with the little gold bangle nested inside..picture a black cord looped around.

I read somewhere that the jade breaking protected me from some harm and that I’m supposed to dispose of this broken bangle. I’m not superstitious but I’ll accept the former and ignore the latter. It was such a pretty translucent piece:crybaby:Anyway, after I recovered, I took it to a jeweler who glued the 4 pieces together. There was no point in connecting the sections in gold as it would really never be worn as a bangle. I figure I can still wear it as a pendant. Lesson learned. Only sturdy cords or chains. This was a few months ago...I am finally able to talk about it.
