Mrsblue this bangle is gorgeous and very icy. I’ve been reading the posts about this bangle and I agree the seller should have mentioned this but at least you k ow you can return it for a refund. It sounds like the bangle had been discounted due to the scratch. If the scratch is not noticeable and knowing that it is a good price for such an icy bangle I would probably keep it. It looks pretty under the different lighting you’ve shown us. By the way does your bangle look less icy and more “milky” for lack of a better description under certain lighting? This bangle of mine is fairly icy but more stone like in this pic

Very pretty floating flower bangle by the way! I’m starting to like floating flower lately, I think there should be a Jadeholic Anonymous for people like me!:heart:
 
Wow these are stunning pieces Icyjade! I love how the imperial green jade cabs surround the clear cab. It’s a classic design but the pops of green are certainly not just setting stones here. It’s beautiful.

Thanks! It’s not as glowy as I would prefer but I do like the design. Yeah another classic design... I’m so predictable...

There was a sister ring:

Hi 2boys, thank you! I’ve decided to keep it!!! :love: Been wearing it for almost a day now and the scratch doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would, and I was asking another jade seller about this “scratch”, she told me it is just minor unevenly polished, it is not really a scratch, and it could be polished away, however doing that might slightly alter the shape of the bangle, which I prefer not to.

The seller of this bangle is still very nice and helpful, and I kinda prefer to believe that it was an honest mistake on her part to have missed the minor scratch when checking the bangle. It makes me feel more at peace that way. :blush: (It floats my boat)

And my bangle is not milky, under indoor fluorescence light at night, this is how it looks like.

Mine always looks different in different lighting too. I’ve actually become more fond of this particular bangle with time.

It’s gorgeous and I think you made right decision to keep it. The scratch ain’t noticeable but its drop dead beauty is lol!

Thanks for the eye candy! The sister ring is lovely as well but the centre cab in yours looks icier. Your sparkly green looks amazing too - is it spinel or emerald...

It is a really beautiful bangle!! :love: Is this your daily bangle or do you change up bangles every now and then?

Thanks! It’s a blue tourmaline. Here’s a clearer pic. Do you collect other gemstones too?

I do wear a bangle nearly all the time but I change my bangle every few days or weeks depending on my mood. I only have a few bangles though. This icy one is rather heavy and my other white hetian and green nephrite bangles are thinner and lighter to wear. Plus less likely to give me heart attack if I accidentally knock the bangle against stuff.

Lol! True, I really love how it glows... and when I was washing my face in front of the mirror, I could see it glow like crazy in the mirror...

Sounds like the start of a beautiful relationship. Congrats on your new bangle. :)

Thank you Icyjade, I believe I am more and more in love with the bangle, and its different colors under different lighting.

I had a thicker bangle, which I gave my mom since it is too big on me and too thick, and my mom adores it.:biggrin: I tend to bang it around much more than smaller thinner bangles that I’ve worn before.

This is the thick bangle.

The scratch is at the lower right side in this picture
It’s good to see you are happy with and have decided to keep it. I passed out last night but wondered this morning what you decided to do. It’s truly a gem mrsblue. Congratulations, it looks quite comfy on your wrist :D Would you mind PM’ing me the seller. I’m looking for a 25 year anniversary gift, I was thinking another tennis bracelet but now I’m not sure :)

The cut of this tourmaline is beautiful! I love the small table with what kinda looks like a step cut on the pavilion. It’s gorgeous!
