so shiny and black !!!! Beautiful , are this omphacite since it’s deep green under the light ?
Still hooked on icy look .
The cross and ring are gifts from my seller . But sadly , it’s set in silver and some of the zirconia is coming off . The little cabochons were from the left overs when they cut my bangle , but setting in 18k gold is expensive , so if there are leftovers /they set the leftover in 925 silver for some of their loyal buyers .
Sigh the silver is soft , maybe should get get it set in 18 k instead because the quality is quite decent for the icy leftovers .
Thank you Bernie. Yes the seller listed these earrings as omphacite. In fact I ordered these from Singapore
I thought omphacite is the same as black jade but there is a slight difference in composition. So now I’m wondering if my black nephrite bangle - the one in my user pic is omphacite...seller said it was nephrite but it is also dark green under sunlight but black and shiny most of the time. Doesn’t matter what the material is but I’m now thinking theses terms are used interchangeably and perhaps randomly since the composition is similar.
You are as gorgeous as your jade Ms Bernie [emoji6] You should be a jade model with your lovely skin[emoji4]
The quality of your cab is indeed good so you may want to reset in gold but honestly it looks great as is too. Can’t get over how icy your bangle is. [emoji7]
So nice of your seller to gift you with the necklace and ring.
What are the dimensions of your bangle by the way?
[emoji23][emoji23] I m breaking out in Eczema on the face right now actually lol
But hey thanks for the kind compliments .
The bangle is 53.5 by 47 oval
Ooh, I would love to see a photo of your earrings! Thank you for the lovely comment
I would love a turtle pendant, but maybe something a little smaller
The turtle in my profile picture can actually be strung as a pendant, but it is too heavy for me!Do show some mods pics of your new bangle! I saw a ring from the same seller and was quite tempted, but I ended up buying the earrings from Churk instead.
Wow Bernie! What a wonderful icy set you have
So nice of your seller to gift you the necklace and ring! My mum has a similar ring, but hers is set in rose gold.
I’m sure you’re still beautiful. [emoji6]I have a small eczema patch at the back of my neck for some reason. My hair covers it but it’s bothersome.
How wide and thick is the bangle? Sorry I’m asking so many because I am kinda eyeing an oval and the width is 6.9mm and the thickness is 7.5mm. I do want something slim but not sure if that is too slim.
Ooh, I would love to see a photo of your earrings! Thank you for the lovely comment :

If I get a chance I’ll try and take a pic of them in bright sunlight to show the deep green.
