The JADE thread!

[Molly0]

I can see why this one is a favourite of yours Molly

Thanks. This one has quite a story. It was shipped to me in error when purchasing back in 2014. Upon realizing that a mix-up had occurred, I was asked to ship it on to the correct purchaser (who by the way happened to be a poster here at the time.). The one I had purchased was an inferior bangle and I so wanted to keep the one I had received in error. But I did the right thing as requested and forwarded it on to the rightful owner. (Sob!). Well, a few years later I noticed that bangle was listed for sale on Etsy by that same lovely lady and asked if she would sell it to me and ship to Canada. Her reply was that she did NOT shop to Canada. ( Sob again!).
But then . . . can you imagine my delight when I later received it as a gift? .
To this day it makes my heart smile when I think of such kindness!

Love the dendrite Hetian bangles on you. Those two make a nice set together.

Thanks so much JB! I hope you find the one for you. The one you posted is gone, Thank goodness. It was so tempting. Have you put together anything lately? You are so good at that

Beautiful!

It came! It's so translucent, I'm very happy with it.

Thank you so much Beadweaver! You picked some beauties yourself. This new one is TDF! The width and the fit are perfect, what a great find BW

Hey there 2BJM! Are back and all settled in? I hope you enjoyed your vacation Thanks for your kind words my friend, I’m completely addicted to them now lol.

Molly0, what a great story! I had a similar thing happen and I cherish her gift to this day. It’s those little things done by others, that really mean a lot to you. Kindness can really be contagious too

What a great story - this bangle was meant to be yours Molly Such an amazing warm gesture from the Jadie who gifted this to you. True testament to jade karma.

Here are more pictures of my new bangle in different light. It reminds me of the lakes formed with glacier water near banff Canada.

Aww, what a wonderful story! By itself it's a beautiful bangle, but having a great origin story must make it even more of a joy to wear.

It really does have a relaxing watery quality and color! It must be even better in person, too.

Well rest this weekend my friend. We will have a heatwave here, so I will be inside for sure. Hopefully not shopping lol. I get bored inside and bad things happen

WOWZERS! She is truly gorgeous! I had a look at her shop late night. She has some Ming pieces that are amazing! ❤️

It’s absolutely gorgeous and a perfect fit on you. May I ask the thickness of the bangle? I was looking at a princess that is 9mm but not sure if it will look “chubby” enough

Thanks, CR. ikr, I almost bought it myself even though it is nowhere near fitting me! I hope it ended up with the right person for it. I have been looking for a dendrite bangle like this for some time but keep only finding smaller ones

Beadweaver, wow glacial beauty, that bangle. I love the deep, mysterious blues. Does it have a name?

Hi, This bangle is 8.5mm thick. It's a good thickness for a princess round. I love it, I can tell such a difference between this jadaite bangle and ones I've purchased in the past. I have the suspicion that I have been buying B or C grade in my past purchases. I cant stop taking pictures. Ha ha
