So sad to hear about your MIL. I don't band them, just return the pieces to the earth by planting them under the plants.
@Tamago38 I see no compromise there. The bangle is incredible! Congrats on such a gorgeous lavender. Your husband had found a beauty for you.
And thank you for you kind words. Sweet is a very good word to describe it! It is a gentle soul rather than packing a punch.
k adore my bf for choosing it. He’s a very special man who is giving me a second chance at life when I thought I was for the scrap heap. He is amazing with my children and so devoted. I’m so happy, and the fact he was able to pick me a piece of jade I adore further cements my feelings we are meant to be together
He just recently chose the most perfect gemstone for our engagement ring as well. He’s on a roll!!
Oh don’t say that to yourself nexlv
I am so Glad you found each other! Sounds like a keeper!
lets see your engagement ring gemstone!Oh I am sorry. It’s lovely. There really needs to be some creative reuse of broken bangles
that would make us all feel better.
Redkoi, My jeweler Alice sometimes uses the broken piece to make into an I.D. type bracelet. Did you consider that? It looks really nice. It is banded on the ends and attached to a chain like bracelet.
Thank you so much Junkenpo! You always have such lovely items, I'm always in awe of your collection!
Hello all,
So inspired looking through all the posts! I hope you're all enjoying the fall weather, wherever you are!
I thought I'd post some pieces I've been wearing lately - these are older items I've had for quite a while. Nothing new or anything...
This is a nephrite bangle I picked up when I first began collecting jade. It has carved leaves all around. I don't wear it often, but I wore it a couple days ago...
I've been wearing these lately too - which is surprising because I am drawn more to my darker bangles. This pic was taken under a shaded yellow light - one bangle is white, the other is white/brown.
These are some handmade Siberian nephrite beads. They're part of a stash of beads left over from a bracelet order several years back, but I don't wear the bracelets often because they're so heavy, lol Nephrite beads like these are VERY hard to find nowadays, and if you do find loose nephrite beads, they're usually very expensive. I just get them out and look at'em every once in a while 
Great to be able to share with everyone! It's funny because I used to resist going through my older jade items in favor of looking for something new, but I've since realized I actually have more than enough. I do pick up other pieces every now and then, but only if something really strikes me, so I'm approaching full circle in my jade journey. It's amazing how much I've learned, but still have the same enthusiasm I had at the beginning! Here's to the journey!

I love your beautiful collection. Your carved bangle is such a pretty light bluish grey. The pair of white and brown and white nephrite are captivating as well and these beads - so charming
