The JADE thread!

[crosso]

Congrats crosso on your new Lila! Her soft colors look so nice on your skin tone!

Wow cdtracing! You've got some impressive pendants!

My latest DIY is a double nephrite pi pendant that I wear on a 24" chain and I'm going to make a brown leather cord necklace about the same length. The bail hole is big enough I could even double up on a chain and leather cord for a different look.

Thanks, J4Me!
I like this doubled look! - especially on a long chain. I think the leather would look really cool too for a boho kind of look. Very creative! I have a yellow one I don't like that much, but now you've given me the idea to play around with it paired with my oil green one. Hmmmmmm.

What a fun colorful stack!

Hi jadies!

I should know better than to say I'm satisfied with my collection, because jade is a true addiction.

Here are my recent acquisitions.

The pin and pink necklace are not jade, but still pretty. I'll post more pics of them in the Semi-precious thread later.

Such lovely translucent beads!

With all these beautiful beads I'm seeing here lately, I'm becoming "Bead Obsessed" so I added some butter Amber beads to Jadeite for a pastel summer stack.

So glad to see Courage and your stack is great!

Thanks! I had decided to do this when their sizes were more different than I expected. When they arrived I liked the size of the black one for a solo pendant, but the off-white one was smaller than I expected. It did measure as advertised, so it was only my expectations that were off - not having lots of jade pi's to compare with. I also toyed with the idea of dangling them off a chain for a yin yang lariat/Y-necklace (see link below). But for me I would've preferred the white one being closer in size to the black one.

How cool Jade4Me!

Thanks! What's great about DIY is I can redesign it if I tire of it or come up with an idea I like better!

Thanks!!!

Hi jadies!

I do think Suzanne's corner is an easy to work with seller. She took an offer from me on a bangle even though it wasn't listed as a BIN, and then when it didn't work for me, made a return easy. Others have said when asked she'll confirm a bangle is treated or untreated.

But here is something... The bangles in the following pic are gorgy but out of my price range.. What I really want to know is where I can get a box like that!

If you search for 'bangle display case' on ebay you will find something similar.

This one seems to change more in different lighting - this pic in indoor light.

Very pretty lavender!

High ladies. Had to go out of town for a couple of days so I'm playing catch up! LOL

Your Jade beads are beautiful, Pinkie!! I just love your stack. Since I don't have any Jade bead bracelets yet, I will sometimes stack my Jade segment bracelets together or will mix them with a couple of my pearl bracelets.

WOW! Love your new acquisitions, JKP!! Love the color pattern of the bangle!! I especially love the multi-color bead bracelet! I have a vintage multi-color segment bracelet from the 70's that would look perfect with it.! Now you're giving me ideas!!

Looks wild Lotslove! A very strong bangle indeed. Bet it would look great especially in the winter with thick chunky sweaters.

Thank you so [emoji257]much it's wild but I love it goes with everything [emoji171]good ideas about the sweater thank u

That's a lovely combination, Molly!! I think the butter Amber goes so well with your Jadite.

First pics of Lila! More to come when I have time. LOVE this new bangle! My first hinged and first grade a lavender.

This one seems to change more in different lighting - this pic in indoor light.

Lila is stunning, Crosso! What a beautiful find! I'm still looking for my perfect hinged Jade.

What do think of this bangle Jadies? I hope the link works. I found it on Suzanne's corner. It is the second bangle on her site. I like it and the price is good but it says it is pre owned. Not sure how I feel about that. Also doesn't say if it is A grade jade untreated. I think it's pretty.

She's quite pretty. I love the touches of green with the lavender!

I haven't bought from Suzanne's Corner, myself, so I don't have any experience with that seller. I do go to her store & look around to see if there's something interesting. I'm sure if you ask her, she can let you know the grade of the jade in question.

On another note, that box is perfect for keeping any kind of bangle!! I'd like to know where to get a case like that myself!! And those bangles are just amazing. I especially love the one at the top & the wide one in the middle. Love the color patterns & translucency. But the two on the bottom are really nice ones, too!!
