Hi szu, Thank you so much I think it is called celadon. I purchased it from mats_alice on eBay. She is really sweet. I just looked and I think she has one left in a 55. Qiemo, I hope I spelled that right lol. That’s where the nephrite is from. It has a really creamy look and feel that I really love ☺

Thanks CR, was looking at that but wasn’t sure about the colour on her site as it looks different there compared to your pics. Love it’s creaminess and colour on your skin.

You are so welcome and Thank you so much! You are so right. I think that’s why I’m drawn to this color. You could definitely ask her about the tone and any differences. I had her find one for me because I missed out on two others. This one cost a bit more but I got exactly what I wanted ☺ She is one of the nicest sellers on eBay I think. Have a blessed weekend

I bought the bangle. It’s going to be a long wait before it arrives. It says July-Aug…still it’s something to look forward to during this pandemic Wonderland weekend to you too CR! Thanks again.

That is awesome! I’m so happy for you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine ☺️ I am looking forward to hearing what you think of it and seeing mod shots when it arrives. YAY! Hopefully it doesn’t take that long. You’re so welcome szu and you have a blessed weekend too

Hi
Can advise how do you oil the bangle and also where to get the mineral oil? Thank you.

Sorry missed this ! Yes as what vintageygirl advised , baby oil is what I said to used . Baby oil is actually mineral oils . I rubbed it all over and leave it for a few hours then wash it off with hand soap careful because it can be slippery .

I’ve been very boringly wearing the same hetian bangle for weeks... pictured here with a star sapphire ring.

Not boring at all ! Very clean and wearable look !

CR, I actually had this made as a necklace/bracelet combo that could be made into one long necklace or used as a shorter necklace and a bracelet set.View attachment 5103079View attachment 5103080

This is so bright and vivid the green . Gorgeous !

I had my great grandmother’s bangle with a crack (tho not broken like yours) mended with a 18k gold wrap around 0.8cm breadth at Yokdee in Singapore. Cost around SGD 250 or USD 190 gold plus labour. They do a good job. Price of gold varies so depends on when the piece was made - whether the gold price was high or low then. The hinge type I understand is more difficult as they hv to cut/sand down to fit in the hinges that’s why labour is more. I always thought if any of my bangles broke I would do the hinge! Good luck with your repair!

So after getting in touch with a couple of silversmith here in the States, they all gave me quotes that would deem fixing a broken jade bangle as a futile attempt regardless of the jade’s value itself because their fixing quotes would be more than what a brand new bangle of similar quality would cost. At that point, being inspired by toki pendants from Australia, I decided to fix it myself with hemp and gorilla original glue (super glue or jewelry glue would not be good from my experience). I didn’t bind the hemp to the bangle too well, but it did the job. The bangle is now wearable again, given it’s the smallest size I can wear with the help of oil☺️. I sent it out to Allan at Jade Divers to rescue the polish-because for some odd reason, the spots where the bangle broke lost luster (wax?) after hitting the concrete. So hopefully in two weeks, Allan can ship it back to me being in its original shiny look again. I think he can-I mean my Big Sur bangle that I commissioned him had such a great mirror shine, even though the material quality wasn’t great (surface cracks).
