Oh wow crosso, that's a lot of great pieces... Like the pendant and the bangle that is yellow, really looking for a yellow bangle.
Thanks aigen! Red Peony also bought a few carved bangles from her - I think between the two of us, we bought a good portion of her carved ones, lol! Yes, the pendant is yellow, fading to a translucent yellow/white at the bottom. Here's another pic of it. I was thrilled with how well it matched my yellow spot bangle!

Those are all beautiful Crosso! I like all your our purchases but especially your light green bangle with the orange bits and your carved lavender bangle.
She did seem very nice and good to know you and others have bought from her and were happy with your purchases
I even thought you bought it as set, they matched pretty well, I am jelly... All the ones I have seen now are combi of red and yellow but I really want a yellow pendant or a bangle...
Hi Aigen it's nice
It's a very reasonable price and I like the colour variation on it. Also looks like a fall/ winter bangle to me.When you say you wih it were thinner you mean the thickness of the bangle or the height of the bangle (dome) ..., I think the proportions look good. For me although I like the thicker bangles on others they do not suit me. Are you considering this bangle?

Thought so too, I like the colors. I mean thinner thickness, I already have a thick Bali so want a thinner thickness this time.
I am thinking of bidding, not 100% sure yet...
I see. It's is however a different colour green from Bali and also if I remember correctly Bali is more of the translucent type jade and this one is slightly more opaque. Decisions 😉
Question for you Jadies... Do you mind fly wings and or the broken ice look on jade? Personally I don't mind. I've read that the fine grain jade is more desirable though.
I like both! Fine grained and translucent is more desirable overall to most people, but in some jade I think a coarser grain gives it an interesting earthy look that is very attractive, for example, I like it in this carved bangle.
A word of warning though - if you see jadeite with fly wings that is also quite translucent, it is probably grade b. Fly wings tend to be found in coarser textured, more opaque jade. When I bought this 'imperial' green one in Chinatown (before I educated myself much about jade), I was excited to see the fly wings in it because I knew that meant it was real jade, but I did not know about polymer impregnation and how, while it smooths out the texture and makes it more translucent, it does not completely eradicate a jades coarse texture. Oh well, a learning experience and I still enjoy this bangle even knowing it is a grade b. I could never afford a grade a one this color and translucency!

Oh I didn't think about it that way, you do have a point.
I don't mind either way too, as long as I like it and it fits my budget, either way, heheh
Okay so ladies, you already know I am looking for a yellow jade bangle, I found 2 but I am leaning on the 1st one, what do you think? Too cheap though, asked the seller and she said it is undye and untreated but who knows

then this one, it's just too yellow? If it makes sense.
