The bracelet is actually my mum's, but she gave it to me because she knows I rather like turtles
My God-sister also has a similar bracelet!

Hey 2boys yes the touch is cool! But my bf kept saying it’s more green than blue. Maybe it would be more obvious if it’s put next to a green one...
In the first pic I would say the colour leans more towards a deep green. In the second it is a blue green (equally blue and green) and with the light shining thought it the blue comes through. It’s a gorgeous and rich colour. It’s teal [emoji6]
Uli - I'm loving your sugar cuff. It's beautiful! You have such lovely cuffs, and I absolutely adore cuffs! Great eye for variety too, that you have. I bet you have fun selecting which one to wear!
By the way, nice pietersite bangle as well - very nice addition to your collection. I recently purchased a pietersite bangle myself, but it has some yellow and brown in it though - but I like the dark blueish ones like yours better. Great choice!

Thank you, 2boysToday I’m wearing a new bangle from Allan! Finally it arrived a couple of days ago. The fit is very well. It’s a dark Olmec blue. Somehow in the original photo taken by Allan it was lighter. in reality It’s much darker than I thought. Under darker lighting, the bangle looks almost black. It’s growing on me. Love the colour under natural day light.
I hv brought it with me on a trip now and posting a photo of The cherry blossoms....
Hope everyone is having a nice Friday!
I’m still looking for a good way to wear the carved jade call pendant and will show a photo once Got it sorted!

I can see orangey-pinks reminiscent of shrimp chips for sure! I like the variation of colors in Scallop very much. gogo94, I love the dark Olmec blue. The translucency is really nice on your bangle. The Olmec blue I had Allan make for me has more snow, so it ended up lighter teal, but it is more opaque. In my experience, the deep moodiness of this material takes some getting used to. Have fun getting acquainted with yours! It's like looking at a wave of ocean water. Allan's work is amazing.
Hmm - every once in a while I wear bangles on both wrists, but I usually don't, especially when I'm working. I'm right-handed and usually wear my daily bangle on my left wrist, and maybe my watch and a link bracelet on the right. But in the summer, sometimes I wear my large cuffs on my left arm and push them up further on my forearm. It depends on my wishy-washy feelings for the day, lol
I love this!!! I have never seen a bangle like it!!For a long time I have admired these Hetian jade bangles from 3jade.
Now they found the right size for me.
Today I decided to take my small collection of jade out and take some family photos 
These are my jadeite bangles - all A grade certified except for the second one from the left.
From left to right, I have Triplet, Twin, Violet, and Hope (previously named Seimei).
Mum's turtle shell bracelet which she has given to me!
This is "Triplet", a Fu Lu Shou bangle consisting of red-brown, grey-green and lavender colours. She is princess shaped and has quite a few stone lines running near the surface but cannot be felt by fingertip. I got her at a local jade store in HK in 2013.
This is the second bangle I ever owned, and I got her as a gift from mum after breaking another bangle whilst playing basketball outside. She is a sister bangle to the one I broke, so I named her "Twin". I am not sure when I got her, but it was probably around 2008-2011. She is D-shaped.
This is "Violet" and I got her as a present for my birthday in 2014. Purple is my favourite colour, so you can imagine how ecstatic I was to receive her! She has one visible stone line running horizontally on one side, but unable to be felt. She is D-shaped. I have worn her the most until recently when I switched to wearing Hope.
I had so much fun taking these photos and writing the descriptions. It brings back a lot of memories, especially of my mum and I's relationship. One day, I will gather all the jadeite pieces my mum has and take lots of photos! She has a lot of jade and lots of interesting stories behind them

Mum's turtle shell bracelet which she has given to me! A pendant that is from a set of three. This one is a carving of a bat, which represents the child (which is me!).
Mum has possession of the other two pendants - carvings of a dragon for the father and a phoenix for the mother.
Now for some close-ups of the bangles!Mum has possession of the other two pendants - carvings of a dragon for the father and a phoenix for the mother.

It was a chance encounter, and through her, mum and I got to know the store owner very well. In fact, the store owner is now my mum's god-son and my god-brother! Hope is princess-shaped with a slightly flattened inner surface.

NG, thank you!
Pieteriste is only found in Namibia, I read first. Then I found an article that it is found in Namibia AND : In Henan!!!
This is the province where Hetian jade is from!! What a coincidence.
And no wonder that I love to wear it with my Hetian jades...
Can you show you pieteriste bangle too; Nephrite Goddess?
