Love your stack Aigen and before you know it you will have another pretty bangle to add to it Also glad you got the pendant too!

it's addicting, pretty much soon I will be in debt, lol joking

Uli You are gorgeous and so stylin'! I love your lavender heart pendant and this may sound weird but I like your couch in the background - is it orange leather? I wanted an orange leater couch but ended up getting chocolate brown. Sorry I digressed

 

[crosso]

You are right, Crosso. BTW, do YOU have red jade too ? I have forgotten as you own so much....

Hi Uli! 🙋 No, I don't have any red. I like it on others, but haven't found any that would suit my skin tone or that spoke to me yet.

Thank you, 2boys. The couch is not leather, it is plush.
Here is another picture where you can see it better (the colours are more intense in real life!):

Crosso, as (at least "my" red) is very dark I could imagine that it would match your skin tone....

 

[2boys_jademommy]

Still very nice - like orange crush velvet And funky bag too!

Wowza! Such beauties ladies! Aigen22, congrats! What a treasure you got! Stunning stack!
Crosso love all your lavender pieces. So soft & feminine looking.
Uli, Gorgeous as ever!
Trekkie, I hope we get to see a modelling shot of your new vintage with the amazing green spot!

Wow I would not have know that is b grade jade either....regardless it is pretty and she did spark your love for jade so that is worth lots
I also love the bracelet you stacked with it....is it also jade - it almost looks like opal

Hi jademommy! You can tell if you look at it in the light - showing a pic so others,can learn what to look for. See how the color is concentrated in little threadlike fissures? That is,where the stone was weakened from bleaching and filled with polymer/dye. Compare to this one, where there is a concentration of color in one area, but it is not a stark change, it is more like a diffused cloud of color.

😉 My pleasure - you never know, maybe it will save someone out there from a bad purchase.
Sorry I forgot to answer your question - the other bracelet is moonstone.
