My husband got me a new bangle. It is white base with many apple green spots. Perfect size. I wore it since I got it and won't keep it off. I have found my permanent bangle View attachment 4243436View attachment 4243437 View attachment 4243438

Your husband has great taste:) I’m so happy for you for finding your permanent bangle. I love the freshness of the apple green and it has a lovely jelly like translucency. It’s absolutely beautiful and looks perfect on you. [emoji4]

Oh don’t say that to yourself nexlv :frown: I am so Glad you found each other! Sounds like a keeper!:hugs:lets see your engagement ring gemstone!

Aww, thank you :amuse: he did such a good job tracking down a beautiful example of the gemstone we chose. I’m really into gemstones, especially coloured stones, and he totally caught the bug from me!!

So I wanted a tsavorite, as Garnet is my birthstone and green in my favourite colour. And they’re his birthstone and his favourite colour too! But he found a type called a Demantoid and I fell in love. They have a refractive index higher than diamond so they have incredible fire.

I didn’t want a round either, but they’re hard to find in other shapes. However, he tracked down a trillion that was part of a private collection, and triangles are a little in joke with us.

Here is my beauty. Many, many faces on different lights....just like jade!!

Beautiful!! Congratulations on finding your permanent one! I know what it feels like now to just be so comfortable with a bangle so I’m really happy for you :heart:
 
I am loving wearing my new one, Cloud. My boyfriend finds the colour change in different lights so crazy! She’s even appeared BLUE a few times, which is an absolute love of mine. I couldn’t be happier.

Really enjoying how saturated the lavender appears in indoor light during these dark evenings. Jade really is the best stone to wear if you like changing your mind a lot, I swear!

This week is a cause to celebrate as well, as my boyfriend and I had an offer on a house we love accepted :biggrin:
Hopefully all goes well and we can start our new life together. And buy more jade together! :P
I get to go to China next time with him, and we may be looking to bring a number of pieces home to sell here in the UK. I know how hard it is for us Europeans to get access to good grade A. So watch this space!
