I’m glad you’re able to load pics and share your beautiful pieces. I really like the carved grey and black bangle. What is the carving of? The pendants are pretty and the double happiness earrings are adorable. Thanks for sharing

Hi Red! Me too, have been so busy lately that it is hard to keep up. Often think of you and am so glad to hear that you are well and wearing jade. Love your pieces. Hugs......
Hi hun!! I'm so happy to see you popping in and that you're still wearing jade! Your photos are beautiful of your new jade. I still remember many pretties you collected back in the day. I think once we start collecting jade, we never stop. (((Hugs)))
Hi 2boys! The darker bangle (looks grey/black sometimes and dark lavender/blotchy green sometimes) has ruyi, peach, coins, and what might be a pixiu or a rat on it. It’s a mystery...

I’ve also recently been really into NZ greenstone, which may or may not be jadeite depending on where it is from. Pounamu is very sacred to the Maori as you know.
These are river washed pebble pounamu, simply strung on black cord—the one on the right is known as Tangiwai, from Milford Sound in the South Island of NZ, and the one on the left is from the Arahura river on the west coast of the South Island.
I love how nature has shaped these stones into such beautifully perfectly imperfect shapes.
PS I’m not sure why my photos are uploading unrotated...

Sorry again about the rotated photos... but my jade is happy to come out to play again. Long story but some of my things are currently in storage until end of the year so I am existing on a skeletal bangle ratio... I miss my bangles!

Today I wear this white agate bangle. And it matches my Jadeite ring very well

Hi ladies, has anyone heard of jade having three colors? I'm asking because several yrs back (aka dark times), I had to pawn off my jewelry and they wanted to buy my jade bracelet (gift fr a friend to bring me luck). I wouldn't do it because I think it's bad juju to sell a gift that was given w/ love and good intent. They said it had three colors. And i'm like what?!
Yes, tricolour jade is definitely a thing. In bangles it’s said to be ‘fu lu shou’, 福禄寿—happiness, prosperity, and longevity.
Thank you so much. You just made me smile. I wasn't sure if he was trying to pull my leg. My friend acquired it about 30 yrs ago from hong kong and gifted it to me after she had 3 kids and couldn't wear it anymore. I just wear it everyday and pray it lasts my lifetime as it's probably one of the most precious things I now own.
Let me play around and see if I can get a photograph to show off the three colors. If I fail (which is highly likely considering my lack of photography skills), I'll look for the photos she sent me and share.
