He does such great work! I canʻt wear my nephrite from him anymore because I have gotten too fat over the years. I canʻt get it over my hand anymore! I really like his blues. A princess in it is on my want list.
Gorgeous! I love earrings as much as I love beads. The color on these are eye catching.
If Alice does restringing, or she can recommend someone thatʻd be great! I should probably devote sometime watching Youtube and practicing. Thatʻd probably be better on my wallet in the long run, haha.
Iʻm continuously amazed at how youtube has just about a video for everything. I should make this a goal for summer.
Silver Mom, this is beautiful. Love how the thread matches the bead so nothing competes with the jade and the clasps.
So having been inspired (enabled) by all you lovely ladies and your jades, I’m currently lusting after this from Yokdee. I wear a princess 51.7 without soap and a 53 round D and a 54 oval without soap. This one is 50.7 and much broader at 15mm than my bangles but also much thinner at only 3.7mm. Think I can fit? And do you consider this moss in snow or floating flowers? And do you think being so thin makes it susceptible to chipping or not so strong? This is more medium grain whereas I normally prefer fine grain but just thought to try a broader bangle.
Thanks for any advice!#slipperyjadeslope

Also lusting after this one from Yokdee. Rectangular bangle. Not a “fine” piece But full of character and interesting patterns! Inspired by all you ladies with such “character” bangles. What do you all think?
I am always surprised at how strong jade is, even when it looks so delicate. I have several smaller bangles Iʻll come back later and share pictures... I seem to be having issues with the photo hosting site I use.
Bangles in nontraditional shapes, colors, and carvings are neat. I think if jade calls to me and it is in the budget, it usually winds up coming home.
OK, here are the two bangles I have that look similar to the two you posted.Thank you Silver Mom for sharing your experience! Yes I do think the bangle being thin I should be able to squeeze into it. I will update cos I’m looking at quite a few bangles having just started my collection. Haha. Another one I’m considering. This is finer grained and translucency. I like the peppermint green!I’m in trouble haha. Can you show your similar bangle Silver Mom?

Love these! The top one is so striking with the darker spinach patterns contrasting against the lighter base. Much more striking than the one I’m looking at. The bottom one - the lighter part that is showing - is it grey or green? It does look similar to the one I’m looking at
Thanks for sharing!
I forgot to send you a link for a PDF that should help you with understanding jade terms and train your eyes on distinguishing treated jade to untreated!Love these!

It is actually green and black jadeite.Love these! The top one is so striking with the darker spinach patterns contrasting against the lighter base. Much more striking than the one I’m looking at.

Here it is paired with my square green nephrite and princess round Edwards Black nephrite. The nephrites were made by Allan Spehar. He is such an artist. I just love him. I actually like the color on your moss in snow/floating flower bangle better than mine because it is a brighter green. Sometimes I think that spinach green is too dark.Love these!
