Hi jadies!

Such lovely jade being shared... Iʻm just popping in to share newest: faceted black jade! You all made me pull the trigger on it.

Itʻs a little big, but that just makes it easy on, easy off. Iʻm still stuck with ʻŌpeʻapeʻa at the moment, but I should be able to swap out by Christmas, if I keep watching what I eat.

I was surprised at how dark it looks indoors, I was expecting more of the gray to show up. I took pictures of it with Mint, my other faceted, so you can see the contrast of dark and light. Some outdoor in the shade shots, some in full sun, some inside near a window. And a photo with all my black jade together.

Today , I wore my black princess round Jadeite bangle and took my folks for a spin , to MacRitchie reservoir & park . It’s rather opaque , but I like its glossy black reflective surface as much I like my icy translucent jade bangles .

Things are a little more stable in Singapore now , although , it’s still mandatory we have to don our mask & also limit ourselves to group of 5 person only .

Sharing some . Hope everyone is well . Can’t believe it , but X’mas is like just another month away 2020 is some year View attachment 4903846View attachment 4903847View attachment 4903848

I feel very lucky that things have normalized here. Fingers crossed that it stays that way even when the travel bubbles open up.

Hello all I haven’t posted for a while!
What do you think about green jadeite!?

Recently I did more research on green jadeite and there are many shades of green available. the fact was I feel it’s harder to match with clothes and might appear older.

After checking more photos. I went to try out different shades. And finally settled with this. Full bangle green but somehow it matches.

Other lighter shades green or people call it “yang green” or much darker one just looked weird on my wrist. Will try to take some daylight photos.

Just interested to know what you generally think of green jadeite bangles since the pale ones seem more popular!

Your green bangle looks great!

For me, I rarely match my bangles to my outfits. I usually try to match the bangle to my mood. If it matches my mood, then it always seems fine with any outfit.

I think at the end of the day, it's all about colour preference. For me, I love jadeite and I do have green ones but IRL there are other colours that I prefer to green and it's obvious because I hardly have any green clothes and bags. And you are right that the pale ones would somehow appear more youthful :D

Thank you!!!im v excited about this purchase too. It’s bright green but not translucent (think it won’t be affordable if it’s in nice grain n translucent....)

U r right! matching the mood is most important. Sometimes I’m too self conscious on matching with the right colour scheme... like I’ll wear darker or simple natural colour clothes when I wear the bright green bangle.

indeed if I can only wear one banglefor the rest of my life. Then I’ll pick the pale with patches of black wuji that’s transculent. It seems much more versatile.
I was struggling picking between this green bangle and another icy blue one. The icy blue is more pricey but the feeling is more similar to my existing wuji. At the end I picked the green one as it gives a totally different vibe

Thiswas the blue one

Hi everyone, I was last on this thread a long time ago... just wanted to share my updated collection. The leftmost bangle is nephrite while the rest are jadeite. The jadeite bangles are from Yokdee and UJ. Would love to acquire a icy translucent one eventually, will take my time with that! View attachment 4914558

Beautiful collection!! How long did you take to acquire all of them!?
I felt like sometimes it’s by chance n by luck to find a bangle your size, in the colour and shape that u want in that particular period of time. Plus the price range and all other considerations.

Icy ones are harder to come by.. hope you can find the one soon!
