The JADE thread!

[VintageyGirl]

Since we are on red jade, I’m currently lusting after this big pendant from Yokdee. Tiger carving which is my horoscope. And bird on the other side. It’s a brownish red or reddish brown haha. With some green. I think grain is not fine and probably translucency is not so great but I’m so drawn to the tiger carving! Though I think I won’t be able to wear it so often as it’s so big and statement haha. What do you think?

I wear my bangles and jewellery at home all the time! Haha. I’m working from home mainly. They make me happy and give me motivation to work though I have switched to dainty pieces (non jade) whereas when I went to office, I worn much bolder and bigger pieces.

I would like to do that but unfortunately I am so clumsy. I am afraid to wear my bangles at home. I almost died when I dropped one of my most favorite bangles. YIIIIIKKKEES......

I haven't worn my bangles for almost a year. Once in a while I may put one on and wear it around the house. With this covid thing, haven't gone out since it started so my poor bangles have been in isolation too. I wish I could wear my bangles smaller but I am such a coward. Scared that it would get stuck on my hand. Then it would have to stay on forever.

I can't believe that @Silver Mom. How can you resist? Lol, I don't stack and only wear one bangle on my wrist so my poor bangles are mostly waiting in line for their turn. However, i take the whole family out to touch and and admire at least 1-2 times a week to see if I feel like putting something different on. And I have the jade fever so I look at jade online everyday.

I wear my jewelry all the time too. Lol, make me happy even if no one else sees them. I love looking at them as im typing away at my desk and the noise they make - not to mention how they feel. I love the coolness and the weight.

It is gorgeous! I love the carving. if you don't already have one like it, you should get it. It is definitely a statement piece.

I usually wear a jadeite bangle and if I do it’s pretty much 24/7 for months. Somehow wearing jadeite makes me feel... protected. Totally not scientific right.

I’ve also been putting various bling on my desk to enjoy while working from home. I use a keyboard so the laptop keyboard has become my bling display area instead.

I love your blings! They are yummy eye candies. I too feel protected and better when I have a bangle on. It's just so reassuring to feel that weight. I don't know if it's all just mental/ psychology or superstition, but wearing jade gives me a warm feeling so I'm not going to question it too much.

I think each time I take out my family of bangles that this will be the day I choose a new one to wear, but nope...not this month. This month, I've only been gravitating towards one specific bangle. I used to wonder how people choose which bangle to wear, but after I got a few bangles, I just know/feel which one is the right one to wear - the vibe of the bangle just feels right.

When I dropped my lavender bangle that I loved so much I went into shock. It was sooooo traumatic. I was in deep depression for over a month. Luckily I have the most AWESOME, AMAZING jeweler ever, Alice. I commissioned her to do my repair job. She had it sent to Hong Kong where she had specialized jewelers use a special technique to do the repair job. I had to wait over 6 months but in the end I was so happy. Because it was one of my most favorite pieces, I could not just junk it but since they did such a great job, I like it even more than in it's original state. So thankful for Alice. She had to do it because she was the one who sold this bangle to me and she knew how much I loved it.

Wow that’s a beautiful even coloured lavender and a really great repair job! Setting is nice. Glad you could get a beloved bangle fixed.

I know. I was walking around in shock for weeks. I looked for other lavender bangles but couldn't find one I liked as much as this one so I really am glad it got fixed. The bangle itself did not break but got a crack. I did always want a jade bangle with diamonds on it so this worked out perfect.

My orange Jadite ring. I am still on the hunt for a bangle of this color. So far, hard to find one in size 60mm to 62mm. View attachment 5007296

This orange colour is pretty! Love the deep tone colour. I heard it is not easy to find nice shade of orange tone.

Hi everyone! Although I’ve been reading this page for a long time, my collection is very humble. Unfortunately, I did not appreciate the jade my relatives gifted me when I was younger. Now that I’m older, I’m trying to learn more about my culture - jade included! Anyways, thank you everyone for constantly sharing your beautiful pieces and knowledge! Sharing my very modest jadeite pendant collection below!

I purchased my very first bead bracelet and bangle and they’ll be here in the next week or two

Thank you @berniechocolate for the Li Hong Jade recommendation!

Love the icy laughing Buddha. Im fond of the laughing Buddha and the meaning of it, joy and happiness. But was worried that the design may not be easy to match clothing..hence my choices have always been round or simple design pendants. What do you think?

Me too but I don’t wear religious symbols so...

but I was actually a bit tempted when my regular jeweler showed me this:


Like so happy.

I think you should get if it makes you happy and you will wear.
