Wow I just learnt something new! Thanks for sharing re: anti tarnish strips!Good MorningOnce I polish them I put them air tight bags with those little anti tarnish strips so they do not tarnish. You can get them really inexpensive on eBay. I have a couple of anti tarnish silver trays that keep silver from tarnishing and they work pretty well for my smaller pieces. I have way too many so the bags work the best and I reuse them to death lol. If you wear them in the shower the reaction with the hot water can make them tarnish, so I take mine off then. They are really addictive though, there are gals that wear them 24/7 on both arms all they way up to their elbows. My ole bones would break lol

Thank you for sharing. It is indeed very unique and outstanding. I can imagine it must be pretty hard to put it on seeing that the fastening is screw like.
It’s not that bad... I just worry that it can accidentally unscrew while wearing and the bracelet drop hence I added the safety chain.
I use a bracelet buddy when I need to put on bracelets. Less than SGD $3 from online sellers in Singapore:
Yes, I noticed the safety chain on your bracelet. Wear it in good health. Never knew such a gadget exists to aid (and abet) us ladies in our jewelry quests

Yeah, absolutely helpful to get bracelets on. Highly recommend to anyone who has difficulty with wearing bracelets.
The jadeite bracelet and necklace isn’t something to be worn often imo, but I just couldn’t resist them...
Too gorgeous! I cannot take it! Is the carving dragons?? I have problems identifying the various mystical creatures haha. Is it safe to buy on Taobao? I’m so worried about fake jades.
Have been reading this book. About an Englishman who learnt to be a master jade carver and now lives in Suzhou with a jade gallery business. Interesting to learn about the jade trade in China. Was a bit sad to learn that a lot of pieces today are machine carved. But overall a very good read!

I checked out the icy jade rings at UJ Etsy. They have my size
but costly!! Have to wait till my jade ban is over lol. I don’t see the lavender in your ring tho you described it as lavender? It looks very clear icy to me.

Re: Taobao, I honestly am not sure. My Chinese is too lousy to attempt TB purchases. Hopefully others can chime in.

Wow that’s a very good price for such a bracelet... almost too good to be true considering the workmanship and if it’s Grade A? Or maybe we have been paying highly inflated prices in SG haha.I think they are pixiu?

The jade book I was reading says a lot of fake jade in China. So personally I don’t dare to buy from TB haha

It’s a bit cheaper than mine which I got in Singapore so I tend to think the price is ok? Considering mark-up by the Singapore seller etc

It’s a light lavender that’s very hard to capture. I think it looks light lavender here in the ring box and in this other picture
Since we have to stay indoors more , I took out some of my bangles to oil . I m going to oil one a day , lest I get clumsy and break any .
Snapping one before i douse some mineral oil on it for a couple of hours . This is one of my first bangle actually . Something I don’t wear very often because it’s abit thicker .

Ok I see the lavender now. Yes icy pieces can sometimes have some coloured undertones which are hard to capture in photos. It’s gorgeous!
Icy, what a great idea. Are the teeth metal or plastic? Would it scratch the gold? Love this idea.
