Not crazy at all! Me too, but I have sadly been ignoring my Jade lately.
I’ve stacked a few bracelets on my left hand and added in “Ellen” (a jadeite gift from a very lovely lady).
Here’s a pic what you inspired:
I absolutely adore this! I love mixing metals, but the yellow gold is my fave. Very cool bangles/ bracelet and jade combination. You wear it very well! Had to add love for the tennis bracelet, I really like the style :)

Thanks! I love mixing metals too. All those years ago, when choosing a wedding band, I even insisted that my wedding band must be in BOTH white & yellow gold. Glad I did that.

Hello everyone,

I hope all's well and that 2019 is treating you well so far! As always, it's so nice to stop by and check out the lovely jade. So many beautiful ones! Here are a few that I've been wearing lately.

What I'm wearing today, a white and brown Siberian nephrite bangle - very fond of the rich brown tones in it.IMG_1573.jpg


This second one, I've worn quite a bit lately: Siberian nephrite with a few chatoyant sections on it. The chatoyancy is hard to capture in photos (especially since I'm not really good at taking pics anyway:P) So, unfortunately you can't really see it, but I tried :-s

This last one is a bit of a combo. A three-strand Siberian nephrite bead bracelet with an Indonesian nephrite bangle. I just did this as a bit of a last minute thing out the door last week. Anyway, they are both a very intense, bright green, and I tried to use the sunlight in the photo to help capture how green they are. I have a few Indonesian nephrite pieces, but this bangle is my favorite Indonesian piece. Although it has a lot of "flowers" and a few dark inclusions, there's so much going on in it. IMG_1835.jpg

Thanks all for the opportunity to share!! :heart:

You’re so welcome! I wish I had done that. I just got into jewelry in the last five or six years, although I’ve been dealing in jewelry for many years. Now I really regret some of the pieces I let go. But I have truly made up for my mistake, according to my husband :D I ❤️ jewelry and handbags now. Jewelry much more than handbags :)

Such beautiful and unique pieces NG! I have been good at not shopping the last couple weeks, but that first bangle is making me weak. OMG ❤️

Hi Cyanide Rose - thanks!!

Yeah it's hard isn't it? I haven't purchased anything new in a while (and my husband is quite happy about that, lol:angel:). I also noticed that the price of nephrite has been rising, too, which is a factor. Plus, it doesn't help that I like thick cuffs, which use more material, making them extra pricey, lol.

Anyway, I LOVE your selection of nephrite bangles - particularly the white/brown combinations - so, so, lovely!!!! You also have one with dendrites that drool over!! I am living vicariously through your posts, when I can catch them - well, everyone's posts actually - so inspiring:biggrin::heart:

You are so right NG! The beauties posted here are so gorgeous! I love seeing more activity on this thread as well, because this is truly one of my favorites.

Thanks so much for your kind words on my pieces. My nephrite obsession has really exploded lately. I’m trying not to buy this piece but your brown and white bangle has me soooo tempted :)

NG, your Siberian nephrite is TDF! I have been loving nephrite more and more, especially thick cuffs. It's funny how I like really dainty icy jadeite and really chubby nephrites. I guess I'm trying to make the best of both worlds, LOL. Yours (and CR's choice as well as the dendrite princess) really make me drool. Thanks for sharing!

It might sound crazy, but some bangles give me a more peaceful vibe ;)

I just started wearing jadeite bangles exactly a month ago and I really agree with your statement - I do feel greater peace with a couple of my bangles!

A green one for me today

Thanks so much JB! I’m wearing that one as much as I can. I’m curious to see if it changes like jadeite can. I also wanted to put a yellow gold band on it with a diamond dangle. I’ve seen a few bangles with it and I love the look, But I don’t want to regret altering it. Still thinking about it.

Isn’t it just delicious Molly0! it’s a bit on the bigger side but that color isn’t so easy to find. Ugh, decisions :)

SD, I love that bangle! It’s so icy!
I have given away a few bangles because they didn’t have a good feel and their new owner love them. I have also regretted not purchasing a bangle because it can take me forever to decide to purchase something, and later have the perfect bangle (mainly suggestions by friends) for me become available. Just proof that jade will find it’s owner :D

Your nephrite cuffs are gorgeous. I’m partial to that creamy Siberian chocolate and vanilla bangle.
