The scratch is at the lower right side in this picture
I'm so glad you decided to keep it. Congratulations on such a gorgeous bangle! :flowers: It is so nice of you to give your other bangle to your mom. I like the soft lavenders and greens in it. I'm sure she is very happy to have it from you.

The glow in your icy new bangle is fantastic. The top reason I like icy jade is the glow. If you still feel the scratch and notice it, you can decide which way to face it so you touch and see it less always facing your wrist or your upper arm. It is kind of "out of sight out of mind" strategy but it works for me. Then if you take your bangle off for some reason, you can find "the scratch" and face it the same direction when putting the bangle on so the patterns in your bangle don't look "backwards". A small thing like that can be a useful orientation device, lol.
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:

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

Thanks for the eye candy, icyjade! You are so lucky to have jade shows and good sellers you can visit in person near you. Your icy ring and bangle are superb. I think imperial green tends to be too much for my coloration so I prefer celadons but your ring works in the bright green very artfully so your ring has just the right amount of "pop" and matches your bangle. Great combination.
 
Glad to hear that you are keeping it! :biggrin:
Thank you! It was a not so tough decision... I guess somehow deep inside, I’ve already knew I want to keep it, and that I was just trying to justify the teeny tiny scratch... :rolleyes: thanks for bearing with me!

Last one today, I promise.:blush:
Here is her in a dark kitchen with warm cabinet accent lights. It even glows in a dark room with such little lighting...

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 :biggrin: 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 :smile:
:heart: Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary, CR! This calls for jade shopping!

Thank you! And yes!! I am using the out of sight out of mind trick now... It is facing my palm side. But I do find myself finding it on purpose just to see how insignificant it is... and sometimes it takes me a while to find it. So that’s a good thing!:lol:

And yes, I was living with my mom and sister until I got married, and I guess having a piece of me always with her keeps her really happy. She was all smiles when a jade shop owner helped us put it on her wrist. (It was an exact fit for my mom)

And yes yes yes, I go gaga for the glow. :love:

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.

As a mum, I can imagine your mum being really happy with the bangle you gifted her. Really lovely bangle too. Sweet gift!

Congrats on your anniversary! Pls post lots of pics of your goodies when you get them. :)
 
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!

Oops I’m not sure what cut it is!
Thanks for your kind words. It’s really nice when it catches the light and glows a neon blue color. :heart:

Wow!!! What a lovely bangle and ring and love everything in your photos :biggrin:

Glad you ladies enjoyed the pics! I loved the pieces so much and took some pics to remember them by since I can’t buy hahaha.

It’s a fairly small show compared to Hong Kong. The Nov show in Hk which is the smallest one in Hk is still so much bigger than my local fair.

@jadeitebear i love imperial jade!! Can’t afford the seriously nice ones but omg their glow in person is stunning (like the pair of earrings I posted). Beats fine emeralds imo. (Or maybe I haven’t see nice emeralds yet hmm)
The side stones are a big reason why I got this ring. :P

Wearing it today along with white hetian

@mrsblue this is the white hetian I mentioned. It’s totally white which is why I got it although it’s a bit bigger (61mm) vs my usual 57/8mm.

I really need to start moisturizing. All these hand shots are giving me serious concerns about my prematurely aged hands... :doh:

Your white Hetian bangle is a beauty and even though it’s a few centimetres bigger than your usual size it doesn’t look big on you at all. And you hands look lovely wearing your beautiful ring.

I love the softness of the hetian jade!! And your hand looks great!! I’ve been applying moisturizer sparingly on my jade wearing hand because I am so lazy to wipe it off the jade bangle afterwards. :P I was thinking of changing to extra virgin coconut oil which I already have at home, and that’s gonna be messier than body lotion to apply.
