Hello Jade Ladies,

I need your advice! Uli's necklace musings got me thinking about this necklace I have (purchased from All About Jade and it was pricey) that I absolutely love but never wear because I find it to be too long to be practical.

Should I keep it as is, or should I have it split it into a shorter length necklace and a bracelet which I am more likely to wear?

The lengths of the two pieces would be like this (I need to remove 18 beads and 4 of the small beads for a bracelet).

Ooh I love the necklace and bracelet idea. I have done that with two jade necklaces. I wear the beads more, especially the bracelet [emoji4]

Now I will go search for all about jade [emoji6]

Thank you Uli, Cyanide Rose and cdtacing for the encouragement to go for the split. I'm glad to hear it is not such a crazy plan to break up the necklace. Definitely going for it!

Thank you, for the compliment Uli! BTW your multiple stacked bangles are fabulous! Is the dark one with gold veins deep blue in person? I cant tell well from the pic, such an unusual and pretty combination! I have been into wearing nephrite lately, and love seeing everyone's collections.

I like it split. The shorter necklace looks perfect on you, and the bracelet too!

The pendant with the pig. I will add some small beads on each side of pig I think [emoji848] View attachment 4392419

Hi C Rose I think it would depend on the length of the necklace. It’s a big pendant and the pig and some beads would make it even more substantial so I think it would look better on a longer chain. [emoji4]
