I bought it on eBay yrs ago, and I'm sure it was an older piece. The metal hollow, and I'm pretty sure it's silver based and plated or gold washed. I liked the metal design and it was reasonable priced... I see them for time to time on eBay, but maybe they are better quality pieces bec the sell price is quite a bit more than I paid. Thanks for looking... This is the only place some of pieces are seen, lol

You should wear it! What a great way to reuse a bangle fragment. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks jademommy! Lol! I could wear this one for a true orange, although it's chalcedony, not jade - great idea!

OOOOOhhhh cant wait to see the earrings! You are going to have a whole school of them :p

I did see that the bangle sold along with some other ones. I think they updated their site because my Seasons isnt on there anymore too. Are you looking at any others?

Can't wait to see your earrings either, Fan! I did see a pair of vintage perfectly matched ones on ruby lane, but they were almost $200, and while the jade was nice, thought that was a bit steep.
DG, do you mind sharing the seller name? I don't need anymore bangles, for sure, but love to look and adore your Seasons!

Like an orange sorbet :) I've heard of chalcedony before but never knew it looked so much like jade. Now if a store owner told me this was jade I would be believe it. Is there a way to tell the dif by looking?

It does look quite jadelike, you are right. You can definitely tell by doing a specific gravity test, but by looking I guess it could be difficult on some pieces. Chalcedony tends to have less visible stone structure to it, I think, unless you are comparing to a fine grained translucent jade. I will have to take a closer look at this bangle again in the light and will let you know if anything else jumps out at me -
