The carved ones are so cool. I don’t own any yet. Hope I can find a nice carved oneMy favorite jade are my carved pieces now. I have way more of a color variety in my carved bangles and I'm not as picky about sizes. I haven't gotten any new bangles for awhile, but my preference is for carved ones now.
As far as 24/7 bangles go, I've worn one that I haven't taken off for the last 5 years. I'm actually thinking about taking it off on New Year's day. It's been feeling like a good time to make a change.
Here's a repost of my carved bangles.
I’d love to wear my bangle with jadeite bead bracelet like most of you but I don’t own any jade bracelet yet.. haha... so it’s wooden beads with bangle for now.
If you do plan on wearing jade beads and bangles together, make sure you wear a bumper in between then so you can cushion the two from any possible chipping!
I love that basketweave one. I've never seen a jade bracelet carved in that pattern and it looks like it would look great if you're dressed up or down.
It's been a month since I last popped in. I thank everyone for helping me with UV testing and figuring out what was just wax or other treatments.
Here's a couple of my recent purchases. This donut is from eBay/preciousjadeite.
And I just got this little blue Guanyin and love her. I had wanted a Guanyin for a long while and also really like the blue jades I had been seeing. Yay luck and patience, I got them both in one! This one is from eBay/rp04209. This was a first purchase from her and I'm very happy. It was so hard to photograph to show the color. I might replace the wire/bail with a nicer one later.

Awww.. The Guanyin is so dainty! And the Bi pendant looks like a mint candy almost with it's pastel green and translucence.
Nice finds jadedonuts! I love your Guanyin! I just purchased one too, I love the detail on yours. Both pieces are very pretty
Went to one of my favorite local jade shops in the Manhattan Chinatown and got a couple of jades that I currently have one stashed somewhere. But the salewoman who we've grown very friendly for only 2 visits has recommend that I get this icy eggplant purple Guanyin jade for a price that's almost equivalent to a Google Pixelbook lol (and that's with a discount too!)
Thoughts on it? I'm saving my money for it and may get it for my mother secretly.

I think the colour is divine!
Decided to splurge a tiny bit from Gojade to get these beauties. Then get my mother this mirror as an early Christmas present and a thanks for putting up with some stuck up attitudes I've had throughout the years
