Thanks so much, ladies!
I know this is quite old fashioned but I love wearing the pop of green.
Smokie Dragon, what a beauty. It is quite calming to look at and I imagine much more calming to wear!I find looking at my bangles calming. I really like this sage green bangle. It’s jelly like
Mrsblue, I hope they let you take picturesWas at the Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair 4 consecutive days, and saw some ridiculously beautiful auction grade glassy jade!!
CR, I know what you mean about adding the band and dangle. These are so in. I considered adding one to one of my bangles but I worry that it is going to end up looking like it was cracked and repaired.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
Not old fashioned at all Molly - you look fabulous!
So kind of you. Thanks!
Boy, when Jade creeps back into your life, you want to wear it all at once!

What a gorgeous classic beauty! I completely understand, I took a bit of a break from jade and now I have to have a piece on 24/7So kind of you. Thanks!

Yes my friend! That’s exactly why I’m hesitating. I think I will wait until I actually have a crack on a bangle I wear often. The bangle I’ve been wearing with my metal bangles has a ton of stone lines, but I’m guessing they are all healed because it has a beautiful chime. But they really look like serious cracks.Smokie Dragon, what a beauty. It is quite calming to look at and I imagine much more calming to wear!

I DO have cracks in a bangle that I’ve been trying to get repaired! I have called, emailed and sent photos to Churk but have gotten nowhere as far as getting an actual estimate for the work (very simple, plain gold bands). Yes, they have replied at times, but haven’t given me any idea about the cost. It makes me reluctant to send the bangle in, but I don’t have anyone here who is experienced with this type of repair and I think he would do a beautiful job. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Hi LunaDoo! I contacted churk too. He asked for pictures from all angles and said that he had two options. One with just glue and glue with two little screws. After seeing my bangle he said he could do it but he didn’t say anything about a price. Honestly, I didn’t ask but now that you mentioned price... I’m curious. I thought about gold prices and obviously it would depend on that, but I’m wondering with the labor would be too. Great question! I lost my jeweler because he moved out of my area and my current jewelers fees are ridiculous. Very expensive but it’s hard to find a good bench. so I’m used to paying the bill after the work now, but I really shouldn’t be.
LunaDoo, that is exactly my experience with Churk! Replied once but no specifics about adding a band then dropped off communications entirely. I wonder if he is too busy or not interested in this kind of work.
CR, your bangle would look so pretty with a wide filigree gold banding covering the cracks area. I hope you find a jeweler to do it. It is so hard to find anyone to work on an existing piece!
I have dendrites on the brain with these beads from the jade mine. Too bad they don't have a dendrite-full nephrite bangle in my size. Or as my wallet would view it, "a good thing they don't". But seriously, a dendrite nephrite bangle with some pale green to white and brown dendrites would be a HG for me right now, your examples here are an inspiration.

Hmm, interesting. His wife was very emphatic that he doesn’t use epoxy, only the little screws/nails. I really would like to get my bangle fixed (not an expensive one, but much sentimental value), but I’m concerned that if I did send it to him it would sit for a long time and I would maybe have trouble getting it back. What to do, what to do...
Wow, what an awesome stack of nephrite! Thanks for the treats to my eyes, CR!
Hi there JB! Very nice! These are on my favorite list on Etsy! I’m so glad you shared them, they are so pretty ❤️ I wanted to add that I would love a bangle like these too, I found one a bit smaller than my size... I’m sooo tempted!
Thanks so much for your advice on my bangle too
I hope to find a more reasonable bench soon and then I’ll give it a try.
