It’s apparently a chili on a chain, not sure what the auspicious meaning is supposed to be.

ok means this...
“Chilli Pepper”- (辣椒) – Chilli pepper plants are associated with turning around money luck towards the better, especially for business. It is a symbol of prosperity, happiness, good luck and abundance blessings. It is said to be able to bring great wealth and fortune to the bearer that owns it - (椒财招财).

Found this on the Li Hong site

What do you think?
It would be shipped from Singapore to US.
Thank you.

I looked at the videos on the Husk website and notice that the surface of the right-hand earring looks uneven, so am not too sure about the earrings. However I like the colour and the size of the beads a lot.

Just to share my experience of some recent purchases from Husk: basically it is all good as I found their descriptions of flaws are pretty accurate and most importantly everything I bought so far checks out as Type A (details on page 26 of the Reputable Jade Sellers thread). Husk also responded promptly to emails - although all I requested was about viewing the items in their physical shop. Colours online always differ from real life but their photos showed the dark greens very accurately, I found the photos looked a little more intense than real life for the paler items.

Hope this helps with your decision!

As promised, here are my blue green bangles, taken in afternoon sunlight. The one held up by my pinkie is Guatemalan jadeite from ChatoyantGem2626 on Etsy. It is 56.9mm in diameter and not as wide as the other one.

The other one held up by my index and middle fingers is Myanmar jadeite from Li Hong Jade. It has a yellow patch as well. It is 56.8mm in diameter.

I pulled these beauties out again today. I wore the princess bangle everyday 24/7 for at least six month and it has a nice buttery feel to it. Very smooth and almost slick. I never wore the D shaped one and it just feels so different, kind of dry. I think I will wear it to sleep for a few months and see if I can get it to feel as nice as the princess bangle. BTW, I am obsessed with dendrites and really white nephrite but I purchased a white bangle with a ton of dendrites and I don’t think I will ever where it. So I have learned that you can have too many dendrites in a single bangle :)
