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:







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:

Icyjade, the crispness of the imperial green in your ring goes really well with the creamy white Hetian bangle. Lovely combo and your hand looks great. I can't be bothered to moisturize, too messy and I am always doing something with my hands but I regularly apply coconut oil on my bangle, lol. Gotta take care of the important things in life.
 
I could not resist this sweet little pendant. Until I find my forever icy bangle... It looks more milky than icy in these pics though.

This is so icy! It’s so pretty JB! I wanted to ask about the icy bead necklace you have with the diamond and then the bead drop that’s white gold, did you get that at AAJ? I love that necklace

Indoors under a warm light
I think under the indoor light, your bangle looks closer to the profile photos, but I have to say I like its look as shown in the car. Slightly blue hue with icy quality is more attractive than complete white or gray in my opinion. In any case (or light!), the bangle seems to fit your wrist fine. You mention getting pregnant soon and the concern if it fits since the bangle is 1 mm bigger than your normal size. Well...with my experience, pregnancy will put on at least 10 lbs (4.8kg) that is if the mom to be did not gain any extra fat and all that 10 lbs is fetal weight and fluid (small-med size baby). If your baby grows to be 4-4.5 k at birth, you will likely to put on 20lbs. Each pregnancy is different. And I know with 10 lbs gain, I needed to move from 53 mm to 55 mm bangle size. With 20 lbs gain the second time around, I had to dig through my 57 mm stash to get a new bangle. And when I said my old size 53 mm, I meant that was the size I needed soap to take on and off without pain. When you go through labor, you will want to remove your bangle for 2 weeks prior to the scheduled delivery date because you may be due a week or two earlier and also you have no idea how the labor pain will drive you (or your arms) crazy!
