The JADE thread!

Hi ladies here, like to check and seek for your feedback on which is nicer? I happen to spot the other color which is very light pea green as compared to the other one which is like honey green. I can't decide as I found both r pretty in its own way. View attachment 4213716View attachment 4213717

The top one seems very dreamy, cloud like, and would go with everything due to the pale colors. The width makes it a stronger statement, while the more green one reminds me more of nature, growth, sun and plants. The first looks like it has more of a ‘broken ice’ texture, whereas the other seems more smooth in texture. Personally, I like both. The second would likely be more specific in looks. I cannot say which would be better. I think you must go by the inspiration you feel, and by what you already have. Would either be a good tie together piece for the jewelry which you already have?

I agree with Claire in that the second bangle is a more specific look. The first bangle is “cleaner” and would go with everything. It’s a timeless classic. Having said that the second bangle is perhaps more interesting. It has more of a natural stone, earthy look. It’s more specific in that not everyone would like it. I personally do. Go with the one that draws you in more. Are they the same size? Which would be a better fit? The white bangle is wider so it would look and feel differently. Decisions decisions [emoji6]

Got lots of posts to catch up on. I agree with others! Also The thicker bangle usually looks more modern and good for mix and match. Slimmer bangle is more feminine. It depends on what you already have!

Hi Claire/Jademommy/go go,
Thank you for your advice. Both r very lovely in its own way... I spotted these from an online retailer, yet to see these in person nor try on. Both are same size 55mm might be slightly big for me as the current one I have is 54mm. It is dilemma for me to choose. I try to meet the seller to view the actual item before deciding.

Here a close of pic of my one and first bangle that my hubby has gifted to me. Very easy to match with my daily outfits too. Been wearing it everyday. [emoji4]

Hello everybody I love all the jade pieces that you have posted. I found a unique piece and really like it. Haven't seen anything like it. It is grade a jadeite and looks like inverse floating flower instead of green flower on white background is white flower on green background.

I enjoy seeing all of your beautiful pieces here!!

I’ve just placed an order for this piece from a seller from China where they source for jade pieces directly from Burma.
I usually fund my own jades and this is the first ever piece that my DH will be paying for me, which makes it even more meaningful to me!!

What shall I name her?

Hope the seller ships it out soon!!
Can’t wait!!

It’s gorgeous! Can’t wait to see it on you Extra special that it’s from your DH. [emoji4]
May I ask who the seller is?

Hello all.. after considering, I didn’t end up getting the honey jade I shared last time. This is the one I found from a local store!

I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this app. But it’s called Tao Bao. It ships directly from China, and upon doing tones of self research on reputable sellers, I manage to find one which I decided to take the leap. They promised me a guaranteed refund if not A. If you’re keen in knowing the seller ID, do drop me a msg and I’ll love to share with you!
However due to the cheap pricing I’m planning to get it authenticated in my local gemologist to get a peace of mind. Haha.
As for this will be my first purchase from a different seller I do hope it’s an A Grade, so I most probably might just order directly from her next time. They sell a super wide variety of jade bangles and the pricing varies from hundreds to hundreds of thousands. But I do find it about 30-40% cheaper, probably due to the direct sourcing from Jade boulders.

The original jade thread had several posts on Tao Bao sellers. I used to like to look and while I never took the leap on jade, I did use it to purchase a couple of small items. Now though, I can't seem to get it to work since they made the switch to require a link to a Chinese bank.
