Just found this thread about Jade. Showing pictures of this jade piece inherited from my mother who had it for over 50 years but never wore it. I love the color and opacity of this piece. If you guys know the name or type of jade please share. Thanks.

That’s a really stunning bangle. Love it - the texture is so jelly like, lovely glow and beautiful colour too.

i got very lucky. but his bangle was a total loss. we usually take broken bangles to the mountains and leave them somewhere quiet and thank them for their service protecting us.
But we kept that one. I've never had such a close call with a kid.
A little girl was climbing the soccer goal at a high school where our football game was. His older brother was playing and his game had just ended. some of his teammates were also still there and they were working on tackling and passing. Then out of nowhere, down came the soccer goal. somehow, it grazed his hand and his foot as he was moving out of the way and thats how the bangle broke. it also almost broke the back of his foot, but instead it was just swollen for 2 or 3 weeks.
But the poor bangle, broken.

Hi. I’ve been hearing this since 6 years ago. Sellers use to tell buyers this to push sales I feel. Probably why I bought so many bangles back in the day. Lol. I’m sure there is some truth to this and I agree the Jade now is more dull than old jade, but I don’t worry about jade being shipped out of the country for some time. Too much business for jade miners and sellers to lose.

I keep hearing this also... the past... maybe 2 years?
And at first, it lit a fire under my behind to get bangles, bangles, bangles!! But i havent seen or heard anything happen....so I've slowed down... also due to the covid19 economy, i dont have as much as i use to for bangles---which was never a lot to begin with anyway.
Well, i hope I'm able to get some really nice bangles for a good price sometime soon. I want a nice, clear bangle.. in a greenish blue or a lavender color

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.

Wow, that bangle worked really hard. I would keep it and frame it.
