Here's a rich spinach/forest green Buddha that costed $380 which was bought alongside the Hetian jade Pixiu carving. It looks mesmorizing under a strong light with it's greens making itself known.

LOL Thanks BC! Yes, my obsession is pretty badHi there ! Actually most of my stuff are from HK ! But yes u are right being in a country where there’s lots of Chinese , Jade is more easily availed because it’s a cultural thing and many Chinese have some jade in the family usually for the auspicious meanings and good tidings it supposedly brings
Wow , I like the way you stacked ‘em with other accessories . Are u wearing one of your left and right ?
To answer your earlier question , so far I do wear my bangles with some kind of bangles or bracelet . And they don’t sustain any kind of damage . Jadeite is quite hard and not easily scratch , so I think while there’s more of a danger if you bang them against something hard or dropped them , I don’t think a bangle or two will do any harm when scratch .
Jade has a hardness of 7 on moh scale , but try not to wear 2 jade bangles together on the same Hand. With the same hardness I m not sure if it’s good for them to bang against each other so much .
u try to soak in water for abit . This happen once with a pendant of mine . It was a very tiny pendant . I dropped it . And most of the pendant was fine . But at the sharper edge , it sustain a tiny dot scratch . I soak in water and added a few drops of olive oil for a few hours . Maybe the surface scratch was incredibly tiny , after that I didn’t notice anymore .
wow in raw and simple form , it actually looks very trendy with the oblongish shape and bits of orange in it . You really do love your jade !
My weekend was pretty nice, hanging out with the family
Thanks for your kind words, I am dabbling with wearing larger pendants and something other than diamonds. I never really felt like I could pull them off. Some of my friends with bold personalities wear such pretty statement pieces, so I went for it today
This is very pretty too, is it nephrite? You really found some great pieces!
It's Jadeite actually, and thanks! Oddly enough Nephrite is surprisingly hard to come by from where I live despite it being much more common to find in general than Jadeite.
Good morning Jadies! Wearing more jadeite today. As much as I don’t want to I may have to put a metal bail on this one. It’s a little to heavy for this green thread and the hole is too tiny for leather. Enjoying my last day of sun before another cold front comes in tomorrow

Thank you, Yes this bangle is Siberian nephrite. The white on this bangle is very bright white and glows the most out of my bangles. I bought it from a vender on Etsy 9SJW. He closes down his store from time to time and you have to be patient with special orders.Is this nephrite ? The orange patch is so pretty ! I like your very slim gold bangle look with it . It’s look very dainty
Hello Bernie, your green chameleon bangle is just wow. Luscious and watery. I like the slim style and I agree that the blue green jade is difficult to match. And then its color changes, ha! Your icy white one simply glows! I'm jelly of the access you get to beautiful jades in SG, not so much in Calif., or super expensive.
Beadweaver, is this Russian nephrite? Very creamy white and delicate sunny yellow. The color combination looks great on you with the thin gold bangle. When I see your "signature" gold bangle, I know a great stack is in about to be in sightWho is the seller for those gold bangles again? I have been looking for a thin silver or white gold one since I can only pull off wearing white metal.
Jadeitefan, the chunky white bangle suits you very well. Wearing a wide bangle can feel so comforting. I can see why you are sticking with it.
Beautiful jades, Ajadecent, especially your mom's bangle. Lucky u!
Jadeitebear I bought this 22k gold bangle at an antique store. There were two of them and I wish I had bought both.
Your wrist and hand look so chic modern glam! It all works so well together. That ring is so cool with the asymmetrical coloring. I like this slab idea. Tell us moreFor a while I collected jadeite slabs, so I decided to make them into pendants with my dremel. I wore this one today and and some silver bangles

Love your pendant and bangles!
Don't think I've seen your green and white one before - I love how clean and striking the green looks against the white!
Thanks so much! Yes, I'm wearing one bangle each on my left and right wrist - the picture I posted is of my right wrist. On my left, I also wear a watch and a buffer bracelet.
I have also been warned against wearing 2 jade bangles together cos they will break, according to the jade seller in my area
Thanks so much essiedub! My hubby purchased me a dremel and I have smoothed out some rough areas on a few bangles and polished some stuff too. Then JB sent me the YouTube video and I gave it a try. Here are some of the slabs I turned into pendants but it took a longgggg time to do

Thanks SD! This is one of the first bangles I purchased when I started my jade obsessionLove your pendant and bangles!
What are you wearing today?
Not gonna lie, those slabs look D R E A M Y, and look like they could be great for those wind chimes/bell thingies that are held outside a porch and when the wind blows on it, it creates such a melodic, dreamy tone.Thanks so much essiedub!
