The seller that i buys from has full black jadeite bangles too and is much cheaper than the bangle in the first photo with icy patches . If im getting anymore new bangles from him i would prefer to meet him in person to check them out after the circuit breaker in my country is over. Easier to see if the black bangle is glossy and smooth irl.

I would love to go to my Manhattan CN Town too for window shopping some jadeite since prices there are inflated due to it being a very touristy area. But I do agree that jade is better observed in person! May I ask who's the seller you buy from normally? I may want to stalk his products he has.

Loving all the black jade love.

Silver Mom, your sets are always so gorgeous! One day, I'm hoping to get an edwards black bangle, too. I'm thinking maybe earrings, too.

For those of you looking for smaller bits, I just picked up some black jadeite beads from gojade. They aren't very symmetrical, but they are nice for the price. I wanted to string them on a necklace & get some hoops to decorate.

This set is the Edward's Black Wyoming. Do you know Allan Spehar? He is so awesome. He made this for me. I told him what I wanted and the genius that he is, he made it exactly how I wanted. I love him. He could definitely make you something if you wanted. Let me know if you need info on him.

Yes I’ve heard of Allan Spehar but unfortunately his products are out of my budget despite it looking amazing :sad:

bummer that you had to go through that. I'm scared of too-small bangles also and could never do the forever bangle. I’m glad you finally got it off. I was sweating just reading about it....claustrophobia, I think! I have no clue what my bangle size is but you should post the photos just so that we can all see them!

Hi all!

I put my black carved on just about the time we went under quarantine in late March and since then I've gained the "quarantine 15". Normally I have no trouble getting her on & off, but the extra weight = extra bloat = stuck. Ah well, probably better than the alternative.

I usually wear my black bangles when I've felt the need for a "strong" bangle to help ward off negativity. Good to know that includes physical as well as emotional/spiritual. I haven't gotten sick yet! Wish I had put her on sooner.... I had a weird fever in mid-January (high fever, severe fatigue, swollen nodes on the back of my head, no other symptoms) and a super bad cough/congestion in late Feb that lasted 3.5 weeks... and stubborn me did not go to the doctor for either one.

I hope everyone is well.

I total agree with u on that love colors of it so calming relaxing

I absolutely love love the ring I would afraid to wear it.but looks so good on you I dont wear alot rings .but I would jade ring :hbeat:

Thanks so much! I really love the ring and I try to be really careful with it - that's why I chose one that can fit on my middle finger so that it's better protected. As for the bangle, the colours attracted me but I was worried about sizing since it's 56mm. As it so happened that week, I had just put on a 57.6mm purple-gray princess round and since it went on so easily, it started me thinking about whether princess rounds are easier to put on and if I would be able to wear this bangle. I did some research and some earlier posts on this thread came up confirming it and I also checked with the seller :biggrin:

I've heard and seen of JadeiteRoom and I'm currently eyeing her flower shaped jadeite and lavender jade beads she has currently! She has some neat items despite some of her items being way out of my budget currently. :P

I've got a few bangles from her. She's a good seller for the items which are within my budget :biggrin:

Since we're on the topic of colors.... I thought I'd show off my newest purchase. I recently acquired a long "endless" bead necklace. A few years back, I found one with a clasp (I think it is an unmarked Ming's) & bought it with the intention of gifting it to my MIL. When it arrived, I was so tempted to keep it! I followed through with the gift, and kept an eye out for something similar.

Here it is with my other multi-colored set. Long necklace, choker, 2 bracelets. Last pic is the new-to-me with the super long tiny beads necklace. I gotta keep an eye out for earrings now.
