Thanks so much! I bought it from Li-Hong Jade. Since I'm in Malaysia but they are based in Singapore, I contacted them via IG as they don't sell through a website.

My second ever jadeite bangle just arrived! I'm currently in the U.S., but I purchased from the Singaporean seller recommended by @emmababy , Jay is excellent and DHL only took 3 days to arrive in the weekend-- it's Sunday! I also considered options from Jasmine Jadeite and Li-hong Jade, but somehow my heart was with this one.

When I first received and opened the package, the bangle looked so white against the packaging, I thought I'd received the wrong bangle! I realize that this light lavender looks very different in different lights. It's hard to photograph. I hope these pictures help anybody who might be looking to purchase a lavender bangle-- it can look so different in different lights, mine looks quite white by itself.

First picture is from the seller, by the window in natural light.

This is my picture by the window, looks white sometimes:

This is the lavender under indoor lights, by far looks the most pink/purple:

Sorry about the bruise haha! That's from a different jadeite bangle, I think we all know the struggle... :doh:

Congratulations on your lavender bangle! Looks like it has nice, even color and fine texture. Beautiful bangle. The pale lavender looks good on you. :loveeyes:

Agreed about the crappy quality USA export jade.
Speaking of, Jadies, I am trying to decide about this bangle of mine. I'd like to like it as it fits me rather well and the color suits me, but it is chalk full of little black dots. Named Poppy :smile: I am worried the black dots bring bad luck if I wear it or is this an old wives' tale I shouldn't mind. What is your opinion on black dots?

Hehe, they look kinda green in this photo. I'll just call them green (or blue) :cool: then.

I was always under the impression that black jade stood for strength and protection. I personally love the sparkles in Jade which remind me of poppy seeds.

Ya i agree lavender shade looks different in different light. Especially the lighter shade ones tend to look almost white outdoors. My pink one too. Im hoping to get an intense lavender one in future .

Yours looks so pretty!

I love your barrel beads, they're so pretty. Only just looked back and saw the other one as well. Did you get them from Jay as well? I wouldn't know how to wear them-- just on a thin necklace chain? Would love to see pictures of you wearing them :smile:

Lol abit small. Not sure if you can see. I wore it with a thin necklace. I took a close up photo using my hp but cant be uploaded as the file is too big.
