Has anyone seen this story before? It’s about a lady that passed away wearing a very expensive jade bangle that each of her three daughters wanted for themselves. Very interesting story [emoji4]

For some reason the link is only taking you to cover page. Sorry [emoji52] The story is called “Jade bangle of the dead”

! Thanks for posting this. I found this story on the same website. Arthur Lau's pages are a great resource for reading about jade.

I just read the story and wow what an example of jade fate. I hope the bangle comforts and protects her as I’m sure that’s what her mom would want. Thanks C Rose for sharing this story.

My mom is not into jade or any jewellery at all and I don’t have a daughter but I hope to give my jade to my future daughter in laws and granddaughters if I’m so blessed.

Collected my jade bangle today. Didn’t exchange for another one, the awesome staff at LH sent it for inspection and polishing. Turned out they’re crystal formations? Oops. Actually I can still feel it with my fingernails... but it’s ok, I love it. :biggrin:

I actually went to LH quite a few times this week to see if there’s anything else to exchange for. Really kudos to the extremely patient staff.

Im so glad you both liked the story. It really reeled me in and I’m so glad it was given to the daughter she intended to carry on their tradition with [emoji5]

I don’t have any daughters either and my soon to be DIL isn’t a fan of jewelry. I am happy that my son gave her one of my diamond engagement rings and she loves it. I have given away a lot of jade on here and with people I know here at home, so I feel like I have sort of passed down a few pieces [emoji16]

I am glad you are well satisfied with your bangle and also to the fact that they did what they could to make you happy. I actually have a bangle coming with a couple small horizontal stone lines, but the bangle is very icy. I don’t have anything like it, so I’m looking forward to getting it. It would definitely be priced at more than I wanted to spend without the stonelines. The seller told me I can return it if I’m not happy with it, which is always a good thing [emoji5]

Got a lot of posts to catch up! Really enjoyed seeing all the different photos and drooling on the wide variety of jadeite.

It’s funny because ever since I have started getting myself jade pieces a few years back, I also have the habit of checking out of someone is wearing a bangle on the street!

Today I got a new bangle received, a lavender finally!!!! It will probably be a new purchase for a long time. Weather was v bad so couldn’t take any nice outdoor picture.

Me too! I did visit a jeweler here and she had two bangles, one jadeite and one nephrite. The jade was too big and the nephrite was a mint green color. She wanted $500 a piece. They were both pretty but I didn’t like them on me. When I went back to try the jade one on my bigger wrist, it had sold [emoji28]

So glad you asked those questions and now you can rest easy and be happy wearing your beautiful bangle with the white formations which give it a lot of interest, imo. Good to know that the LH did work to make you happy.

Gogo94, your new lavender is TDF! It looks like it changes color under different lights too! Thanks for sharing, would love to see some sunny pictures of it when the weather wills it.
