They are all quite lovely Uli! You find the most unique pieces! Beautiful as always. BTW I would love to have a koi pond [emoji16]
Thanks my friend [emoji4]
Thanks, 2 boys! I am very tempted. Maybe with soap / oil I will have to make it a "permanent" bangle.
Yay! That's great CR, I can't wait to see it when you receive it and congratulations on your son's wedding (and getting fitter for the dance!)
Uli, your new pieces are fantastic. I love Guatemalan jade. It is so unique. Is the fish pendant with the extra hole like the other cute goldfish you have from 3jade? Your pendant bracelets are so creative! I can see you making a whole bracelet of these kois' strung together!

Thanks so much JB! You and I both may have permanent bangles lol. Hopefully not, but it took me a while to find one like this at a decent prices. So I’m gonna wear it if I can [emoji6]
My latest re-stringing project from some 3jade beads.
Wow! This came out nice! These are nephrite? What type? Love the tone [emoji4]
Tamago, discrepancy of color (perception per se) between photos and reality always exists. However, it seems like this seller did not set up “studio light” when shooting this bangle. He seemed to shoot this picture indoor with enough natural light to showcase the color. I used to sell jade before and learned that in this set up and outside while overcast shows the colors of jadeite most accurately. The hint of yellow is not shown here in this one photo-it could be on the other sides of the bangle.
I bought one bangle from JOJO at jadefinejewelry.com and it was white and red in the pictures. When I got it, the bangle was 100% non white (it was light/seafoam green) and yep there was a big old stone “wen” like 25mm on the outer surface where I could feel it with finger nails. The pictures were set up in a studio or so. I was shocked that it was not white like I saw in photos but what pissed me off was that one long scratchy stone line that was not disclosed in emails or shown in photos. So I got back to them and received a partial discount (50% off). I am more ok with slight change in color but stone lines, nicks, rough spots etc must be disclosed to me prior to purchase. So yes I think you should buy it as long as your seller stands behind his products and is clear about the condition of this bangle in written communication.
Good luck!
Thank you, CRose! You are right, nephrite. Looks Canadian to me, but they don's say. Here is a pic in better light (minus the model
). I really like this color. Made it to match my nephrite bangle, but the bangle looks darker on.

You’re so welcome [emoji4] Love the color! I may just have to get me some. I’m really looking for some a bit lighter like yours. I have my eye on a strand. I have some but they are dark in some light but bright in the sun. I really would like a strand that is a bit lighter then them. I’d have to dig out a picture of them. What size are they?
These are all 8mm beads and the single strand is 35" or I double it up like in the pictures.
Congratulations on your son’s upcoming wedding! I’m sure you will look lovely dancing with your son. You’ll have to pick out a special bangle to wear [emoji8]
The beads look so pretty on you and they match your bangle. I love how you wore them in a double strand. [emoji7]
Thank you so much for the kind words, 2boys! I am glad you think they match.
Thanks for the information on the size [emoji4] I did think it was a double strand. Beautiful!
Not sure why my post aren’t being added [emoji848]
