Hello Jadies and Happy New Lunar Year!

All your new bangles are gorgeous ! Thank you for sharing your additions.
Allan from Jadedivers is making an Olmec blue bangle for me. I am super excited for it to be done. Here is a preview of the work in progress. It still needs to be shaped into a D.

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 !

Thank you, NephriteGoddess!
He says it should be about 3 weeks and I'm sure I'll take pictures as soon as I get it!

Beautiful color on that one! I'm envious. I've been looking for square bangles and the preview is just about the chunky look I want. It will look gorgeous as a D.

A pendant I picked up from the flea market this morning. Not sure if it is hand carved, valuable, but I do believe it to be jade. Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Wow that’s a statement pendant! It has great presence. I can’t tell for sure but it looks more like nephrite to me because of the darker uniform green.

Here are more nephrite bangles from Qinghai area, China. There are nephrite with various color. The price for nephrite from this are are considerably lower than those from Xinjiang area or Russia.

I love the carved grey bangle, Alice! It is stunning!

I love Jadeite for many years since I was a young girl. Recent years I started to collect Hetian nephrite. It is like magic I found myself love nephrite more than Jadeite now. Not sure if that is because I am getting older
