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.

Hello everyone! Love seeing your beautiful Jadeites and Nephrites! I also love the way how you stack them - they're so pretty! Anyway, I just want to share my Jade happy Buddha pendant that I got for $10 from a street market! I am not sure if it's real Jade but I love how the Buddha was smiling! Do you think it's real Jade? Lol I got excited when I saw it and for a cheap price I had to get it.

Hey Pinkiemom! It probably is real but not great quality. It's cute :) my sons have pendants of similar quality of their Chinese zodiac signs.
Which street market did you go to?

I live in downtown Toronto and there's a market place at the Harbourfront Centre right now. The owner of the jewelry stand is a Chinese girl who makes her own jewelry and she has other Jade pendants too. Now that you said it probably is real I want to get the donut pendant too for my girls. I think it's $5. It's a good start for my girls. [emoji4]

Definitely get the pendants for your girls - they will love it and if not they can just keep it in their jewellery box.
I'm in Markham but may have to get hubby to take us downtown this weekend ��

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.

You should go. There is a free rock climbing and zip lining at the Ontario Celebration Zone. It's right in the middle of the Harbourfront Centre. You should go around 11am so there's no line up. That's when they open. My daughter loved it! And you might see the jewelry stand too, it's right by the stage where they have all the entertainment. Anyway, I will definitely get the donut pendant! Thanks a lot! [emoji4]

It happened to me before too when I first started with TPF a few weeks ago. It's kinda frustrating but then I just continue commenting and one day I realized I can already upload photos too. Maybe don't use the advanced post and use the reply button?

oh my goodness, you are having a jade shopping spree... I should start looking for pendants too, you are a bad influence... :graucho:

Yes, I have been on a spending spree. I really need to put myself on a ban but all you ladies post such lovely pieces that I find myself buying more. Jade seems to be addicting! LOL

Thank you for sharing...that is good to know because I think the larger pendants are very pretty! Now it is on my jade list :graucho:

It really is comfortable to wear. And since the cord adjusts in length, I can wear it with just about any neckline.:D

So now I'll be waiting again for the mail to come :graucho:, I bought myself a lovely bangle from suzanne_corner. I wasn't confident enough in my wrist size to buy the oval one I was looking at, but then I noticed this lovely sections bangle which will defiantly fit.

I love the small green patch, and I actually like the sections of silver (obviously needs a good clean) as it gives the whole piece character. Plus I'm a sucker for anything antique.

That's a beauty!! I love antiques, too!! That one does have character!
