Hi Jadies!

I was playing in my jewelry box today & hauled out my rings. I almost never wear rings beside my ering and band, but I will wear these from time to time. Not all at the same time, of course. :)

I've been working on a blue suite. I haven't been able to fit my wedding rings for a while, and they were also getting beat up from daily wear. So I decided to look for something new and simple. I bought a jadeite band (which turned out to be wee bit too large) and sandwiched it between two silver bands so it wouldn't slip off. I had posted my Guanyin earlier, and then I found the earrings. The earrings had a smaller bead above the little donut, but I took them off because I liked it better without. I might repurpose those beads into something else. So now I've got a nice simple set, and I love the blue color. I'm not sure about a bracelet. I don't like a bangle for daily wear as it wouldn't be good at work, but I wouldn't mind maybe a bead on a link chain. So that'll be a fun hunt there!

Those blue jadeites really look alot like gummy candies! Or maybe my sweet tooth is screaming to be sated :lol:
I personally think if you have enough money, you can try to change your ring into a platinum band for your cabochons as I’ve heard platinums with patina finishes are highly favored and would give your jade a nice look, or you could add the beads into some other necklace cord to give it a nice look to an upcoming pendant you would want.

I think I’m going to use the little beads in a bracelet. They’re small on their own, so I could use them on either side of a focal bead and then put them on a dainty chain.

I m too lazy to switch to other bangles . I think the icy will probably be a permanent bangle . Because it seems to work for every outfit since it’s colorless . Here’s one with my Chinese New Year outfit .

Happy Chinese New Year to those who are celebrating . Here’s some parts of Chinatown in Singapore which are quite vibrant during cny . And most of the jade shops are situated here for a good reason , because Chinese seem to enjoy buying jade .

Happy Chinese New Year to you too! Sadly festivals here have been postponed as it’s raining heavily here. But most certainly will start on my Sunday and Mondays (and maybe Tuesday?)
As far as I’m concerned only thing that’ll keep me up at night is definitely the kids playing with those popping things that you throw on the grow for that satisfying pop. :biggrin:
