So many lovelies to catch up on! Congrats aigen22 on your gorgeous amazing unique carved bangle and can't wait to see mod shots of your forthcoming pendant and princess bangle.

Congrats to zipcount on your tres elegant timeless dark green pendant! It'll go with everything!

Uli, crosso & JKP, love your pieces (re-posts & new posts of) and crosso, congrats on the lavender hinged bangle!

Trekkie, I had thought about that lovely unusual bangle and glad it's going to a jade sister! Congrats and I can't wait for mod shots!

designergoods, I don't think we'll ever tire of seeing pics of Seasons so keep them coming!

I'm not sure why I don't wear this Canadian nephrite princess more often, but when I do I love grabbing it and rubbing its silky smooth softness if you know what I mean. I just love the feel of my nephrite bangles probably more so than my jadeite ones - just personal preference. No gold flecks though and believe me I looked, LOL! ;)

Everyone, thank you for your comps on my inky jadeite pendant. Here's another teaser (seller picture), it should arrive soon... The seller described the carving as dragon and bird but I think it's dragon and phoenix, we shall see. It is antique nephrite from 1700-1800. It has two stone lines but the carving is so beautiful I can't pass it up. This will be my first carved bangle.

Just popping in to say hello to everyone and though I'm not posting often (busy with holidays and work) thought I'd add a photo of the most recent pieces I bought as a pair for the boyfriend and I. They are tiger bells, but we call them lions or dragons since we both fall under the dragon sign and his zodiac is lion. ;) Both are identical but look different under different lightings. Each side has the lions carved, not flat on the back.

Beautiful, Jade4! It's true, there's just something about the feel of nephrite. . .
Today I'm wearing Princess Meadow and some other Jadeite pieces. . .

Wow, that is stunning! It definitely looks like a phoenix to me. Amazing that such a delicate carving is still intact after so long - goes to show you how tough nephrite is. The carving on this is just exquisite!

Hi Tea! 🙋 Hope you're well! Very cool matching pendants, I don't think I've ever seen that carving before. They remind me of fancy doorknockers!

Hi Tea, cute! I always love the idea of matching jade pendants but hubby wouldn't have any. What is a tiger bell?

You totally should wear this more often it's gorgeous!
Interesting how come you like the feel of your nephrite bangles more than your jadeite? I'm curious because I don't own any nephrite (yet) 😉
