Hi Cy! Hope you are doing well. [emoji173]️ Are you still loving Brown Sugar? I see Lemonade is still a favourite and you are wearing her still. She's a beauty!

Thank you so much TM! I will be all good in a few days [emoji4] Yes, Brown Sugar is still my fave, with lemonade a close second. Hetian is quite addictive, isn’t it [emoji6]

I hope all is well with you too [emoji16]

These are gorgeous! Could they be omphacite? It looks like they might be. It’s a fave of mine to collect, but not easy to find nice specimens. Such an amazing set to have. I get stuck on earrings too, and some just feel more comfortable than others [emoji5]

Good eye C Rose! They are omphacite which is similar to Jadeite in its properties. I really like these earrings.

I just realized from reading posts you aren’t feeling your best. I hope you son feel better soon. Hugs.

Hello ladies! I spent the weekend going through old posts and so many memories came back! I'm still collecting jade as the obsession never ends. I've been loving Hetian as well as jadeite and have purchased a few newbies, though still wearing Mylasia faithfully for the past three years. I stack her with Ghoulie often as they compliment each other so well. This is Ghoulie. She's very creamy and I love her dendrite specks. The first photo is of the day she arrived and sticker still intact. lol Different lighting changes her color, as of most jades.View attachment 4405289

Hi Tea! Missed you:) Ghoulie sure is a chameleon. Wow it’s like totally different under different lighting. I love the specks - beauty marks [emoji4]

Look at this wonderful Guatemalan blue jade bangle:

So beautiful - are you thinking of getting a Guatemalan blue Uli? If this one of Allan’s creations?

I’m glad to hear - it’s hard when the kids are sick. Take good care of him and yourself [emoji4] Wear your beautiful jade to protect you. [emoji847]

I did not answer your question, Iiturtle. Yes, the big bangke is heavy, but not too heavy for me. :smile:
How lucky! I love how chunky it looks, but I wouldn't be able to pull it off because I am quite petite :P

Thanks for sharing! iiturtle, Triplet in the sunshine is soooo pretty!
Thanks jadeitebear! She's not the highest quality but so fun to wear!

Beautiful jade jadies!

iiturtle, you are so right about how a bangle can transform in different light [emoji4] Sometimes it’s hard to get a picture of what you actually see. I have been trying to get a picture of lemonades green color indoors and failing. I did get a couple of her white translucent color. I’ll add a picture to this post [emoji5]

Thanks for letting me share! View attachment 4403407
Lemonade really does remind me of the drink! In fact, she looks like the colour of 7up, because of the yellow-green hue!

Uli, your twisted bangle looks so intricate! You are tempting me :biggrin:

So sick [emoji855] today, putting this on for a little while made me feel a bit better. I need to find nice settings for my cabs. I’m a bit of a cabaholic. View attachment 4404732
I love your ring, CR! Such a deep, rich green with a nice gradient. Do you ever get scared of breaking the cabochon?

Here is jadeite Moss with her twin sister Roots on the bottom, with black jadeite (Tunnel) bangle in the middle.
Thank you for sharing, teagansmum! You have a nice collection :heart:

Recently, I've been doing a lot of online window shopping and I came across Churk's Workshop. I saw a really unique pair of earrings but it was out of my budget. No matter how much I tried to forget about it, I just couldn't! I felt so cut :sad:

However, Churk then decided to list a very similar pair but at half the price (silver instead of gold)!! I jumped at the opportunity and the earrings finally arrived today :biggrin:

What a beautiful set you have there!!! Amazing! He used to have a silver pair in lavender that I watched for a bit. I think they were in gold too! I’m so happy for you to get them in a price that worked for you. Nice [emoji106]

Thanks for you wonderful comments on my jade. I do worry and I would really love to find a better protective setting. I just wouldn’t know where to find one. Quite a few of my more pricier cabs came with those simple silver settings but they are always too big. 2BJM made me dig out some cabs last night with those earrings! I [emoji173]️ earrings, can’t you tell [emoji16]

Yes dear [emoji4]I really believe that to be true! I always put on brown sugar when I’m not feeling well. My husband runs from him when my little guy gets sick, we as mommies run towards them. I don’t care cough on me lol. But I know it’s hard for mommies that work, I think that’s why my hubby runs away. Plus my husband is PATHETIC when he is sick or hurts himself. OMG! This big old man reverts back to childhood LOL It’s so sad [emoji16]

iiturtle, the earrings are so pretty and they match Hope (and the pendant) really well! Yay for getting them in your price range!

I am contemplating a bangle from him but he is currently out so I will probably windowshop there and give my wallet a break until he comes back in May. In the mean time I decided to go for a more dark and green bangle Instead of the UJ one I wanted.
It is on it's way from the seller, calling her Dragon Tracks.
