The JADE thread!

Hello and warm greetings to all

Good to see all the lovely photos!! Always glad to see all the beauties and read the great info!!! I changed my settings to get messages when a new post is added, but I don't seem to get them - then I end up forgetting to post. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in my settings, but I'll try it again.

Anyway, below are some pics of what I've been wearing lately. Just bangles - I didn't think to send pics of my earrings or necklaces.

Been wearing a lot of brown lately - really feeling the fall weather I guess. These were all cut from the same nephrite slab. I have some more pieces from this group, but didn't feel like digging around for them But here are a few of my brown dendritics The bottom right bangle I've shown here before, I think. I wear that one more than the others


My flash might've messed this up, because it's dark and cloudy this afternoon - not much natural light left. This one is a green cylinder bangle I picked up a while back that I rarely wear, but just recently stumbled upon and began wearing again:

Wow thanks for sharing these gorgeous pics! Is dendritics part of the nephrite family? It looks somewhat like nephrite to me. I love the interesting patterns and the colours are so earthy. Perfect for Fall. Where did you get these?
Your green nephrite cuff is bold and beautiful [emoji7]

Hi Jademommy!!!!!! and thank you so much for your kind words, as always How have you been?? Oh yes, to answer your question, those are nephrite White Siberian nephrite with dark-brown dendrite inclusions. I picked these up sometime in the 90s from a jade carver I knew through my roommate. He made me a couple white nephrite bangles with salmon colored dendrite inclusions as well - I'll have to dig them out and post photos for you to see.

I’ve been so busy lately with work and my kids but in a good way. [emoji4] Thanks for asking and hope you’re doing great too! These bangles look incredible and so unique. Do you have a favourite of the three? Would love to see your white and salmon nephrite too [emoji6]

What a wonderful ring combination! You wear all of the colors so well. Also, The colors go together so well ! They are like a story told by rings. Love that.

Thanks, Claire

Beautiful brown and white bangles! I'm really loving that wide bangle. The white looks so creamy and the brown speckles look like milk chocolate streaks. I also the love the shape of the green nephrite. Cylinder/square is a nice look.

My new 24k cat bead with my jades

I was wrong when I said I’ve found my forever bangle.... cause I can’t seem to resist the temptations of new bangles. Like I just can’t settle down for one omg. Like I need to chop off my fingers to stop myself from searching for more. Does anyone feel me????
Jade addiction is so real

Seller just sent me a few pieces that’s of my size from her recent restocking.

I have my eyes on this piece. Would like to hear what you Jadies think of this piece? Should I make the plunge? [emoji23]

 

[Junkenpo]

That's a pretty one!

I think I started collecting in 2013 and was very addicted for awhile! With jade, there are always more colors, patterns, sizes, shapes... I think I only really started slowing down a couple years ago. Now I'm finally pretty happy with the variety I have and it takes a special combo of color/price to really make me check my wallet, haha.

Its beautiful. I think you should go for it Maybe think on it and see if you really want this bangle or not...You could always ask the seller to put a hold on it for you. [emoji6]

 

[Tamago38]

Thank you for all the suggestions.
However upon putting that piece on hold while I consider if I should get it. She sent me this other one which I really really like too.....
Would like to hear some of your suggestions. Should I take the miss in snow which I’ve posted earlier or this piece?

Hmm... decisions decisions decision.

I like the unique design of moss in snow. Yet I like how this white base one has a mixture of both my favorite colors on jade (intense green and lavender patches)

I really like both. For me personally I would choose the first bangle because I don’t have anything like that in my collection. I love the bold colours but again that’s me. If I were you, I would wait and see which one is on your mind more. They are almost complete opposites. The first is captivatingly bold and dynamic. The second one is softer, more calming and prettier. What size are they? Would one fit you better than the other? Also price - your budget vs what you think the bangle is worth. Good luck deciding. You can not go wrong with either. [emoji108][emoji3] Please tell us which you decide on.

Beautiful and the patterns are unusual . I think you should get it if you put it on , feel it looks good & if it’s your size . With jadeite bangles , I sometimes see patterns or the variety I like but they aren’t always the right size .

This is floating blue flower variety . I have a donut similar to this .

Nice! I been seeing lots of such color (lavendar/green) lately from my area. Seems like this is the trend... giving soft and romantic vibes.

Agreed! I prefer this color too[emoji4]
