It’s the 3rd of February and definitely been awhile since I’ve posted, with that said......Happy New Year!

A couple weeks ago my Aunt gifted me with a lavender jade bangle that she had.. It’s a bit too small for me, I could soap up my hand and "work it" on but it’ll be painful.. I’m pretty sure painful to remove too.

In 2019 she gave me 3 bracelets that she no longer wears or wants. The Mings jade was her mother’s bracelet (my Grandmother), she thought I should have it. Not much color to it but it was Grandma’s....need to snap some photos later. CCACD410-9BEC-4BFA-A2B6-5148F434E712.jpeg

This is such a gem! Deep purple and colour still showing well outdoor, in the sun I reckon.

As a lavender fan, I'm drooling! :D

I can relate, although I refuse to guess how much her aunt paid for such a deep lavender bangle!
Oh yeah reminds me I bought (and still paying) 4 bangles from matsalice in which she was incredibly kind on reserving them for me and arrived today! I swear my camera lighting isn't doing it any justice either :sad:

I showed this to some jade friends , who advised , that I already have icy white bangles , maybe I should give it a skip .

We all like different things in life , some like jewellery better , some are into pearls . But like my hubby says , life’s so short. Why worry about what others think ? You have to please yourself first , he told me he ‘d buy it for me in a heart beat .

It might not be as icy as the other highly translucent icy bangles I have . But it’s still fairly translucent and I love the tiny cute vivid purple speck . Good thing is , it’s flawless without stonelines , or defects . Very clean . Really happy that I took the plunge . It’s a keeper ! Arrived yesterday by FED EX . Happy !
