Yes now I can see the green! It does indeed look like the one I’m looking at. It’s lovely. I like the combi of this peppermint green and black. I haven’t quite decided whether to get it or to get a black one with some grey patches which I think would go with more things. Decisions!

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.

Lovely stack and colour combi! ❤️ I have seen these bangles in your earlier posts. I contacted Allan yesterday as I was attracted to a butterscotch princess nephrite bangle on his site but preferred a D shape. He offered to send me some rock samples to choose from. Will be special to hv a customised piece from him. Heard so much rave reviews of his work here and your square bangle is just beautiful! As are the rest!

Thank you Vintagey. You will not regret getting a bangle from the Amazing Allan Spehar. He puts a lot of love into his pieces and aims to please his customers.

I love when this thread moves so fast. It is fun to keep up with the conversations.

It looks like imgur is finally back up for me, so here are some reposts of my smaller/thinner bangles. First pic is with regular thickness D shapes on the left.

Helped a friend buy this imperial cabochon jadeite ring some months back . Dropped by to visit her during CNY , and it’s giving me ideas to get one soon perhaps . Tried it on for a picture.

Imperial jadeite in mandarin means 帝王绿. The stuff that empress and concubines adorned themselves with . I supposed I can’t be an empress but , this sure feels opulent just looking at the vivid sharp green with chatoyancy .

Wearing the orange jadeite kumquat , for some cny festive cheer.

What are you , ladies favorite cuts for jade bangles?

do you like them in chubby princess round , princess ovals . Or domed exterior . Flat insides? Cylindrical flat inner / outer sections ?


I like the princess round for it’s chubbyness but I observe they are usually more expensive because of more material used , all things considered like the same quality of jade compared to a say a cylindrical circles .

I feel though ovals rounded (princess oval ) are really comfy to wear . As they adhere to the shape of my wrist well .

❤️the bright green square .

the black and green bangle looks interesting . I think Dynasty also had a similar one which is quite gorgeous . But sad she’s busy with stuff and rarely post anymore .

Really love this icy bangle of yours with that spot of pinkish purple :D I like the look of slim princesses on my wrist but having worn my 1st princess in the past week, I think Ds are the most comfortable. I personally like my D oval as it fits best and hugs my flat wrist unlike the princess which protrudes more and somehow “digs” into my arm. Round domed D is also ok for me. Haven’t tried the thinner flatter pieces yet!
