Your bangle looks lovely on you. Fits you perfectly - beautiful.
Thank you. It is quite a challenge to find the proper fit when you have large hands. I went to many different shops who had no problem trying to force one over my hand irrespective of the pain. It was not until I found an honest jeweler who recommended the plastic bag trick, as well as said it is your bangle that will find you. I love the philosophy. She said to never buy a bracelet that causes pain or potential injury. I would love to have a carved bangle of better quality later on. For now this one makes me smile.
 
Busy with stuff so didn’t check in abit . It’s Chinese New Year here where I m in Singapore .

Although we are a multi- racial country , and there are sporadic sightings of various races who enjoy wearing jadeitely . It’s still more of a predominately cultural thing more observed for Chinese . My folks from HK though tells me , jade culture is stronger where they hail from.

Here is new icy jadeite bangle I m wearing with my tennis bracelet recently ! Happy Chinese New Year / holidays for those celebrating elsewhere in the world , jade sistas !

View attachment 4333014 I am trying to learn as much as I can about Jade. I understand a nice piece should be watery and translucent. I have taken a photo of my Bangle against the evening sun on train. While my piece was not expensive, I think it is very pretty for a starter. Opinions appreciated.

You bangle is very pretty and you’re right that watery translucent jade tends to be more expensive but I think it’s more important to feel good and love the piece you are wearing. Your bangle looks great on you. [emoji4]

Thank you so much. I think we all get a bit too caught up in how much things cost. I did not set out with the intent of purchasing a very expensive jade bangle, given I was not sure how this material would feel on my wrist as opposed to gold and silver, which I am accustomed to wearing. Thank you so much for such a wonderful compliment. There is nothing like the ladies of the PurseForum to make a girl feel wonderful.

Hello, fellow Jadeites, and a Happy New Lunar Year to you all!
I received my wonderful tricolour smooth D-bangle a few weeks ago (the one I nicknamed "Tales of the Vienna Woods", because it´s like autumn in splendour; I still have to take pics of it), and I´m so delighted I haven´t taken it off since.

I was now looking for a nice carved piece for my other wrist, with plenty of *red* in it, and I think this might do it.

Please, what do you honestly think of this piece - the stone, the carving quality, etc?

Thank you very much in advance for your valued opinion!

I love the colours in this bangle especially the red which is quite intense. Perfect that they carved the dragon in the fiery red. It has a very strong presence . One that can be worn a lot but maybe not everyday - gotta save it for when you need to unleash its powers lol.
Would love to see your Tales of Vienna Woods bangle too!
