The JADE thread!

[xincinsin]

A bit of history here. My mum was clearing out her things and gave me this. It is a jade bangle which my grandma wore for many decades. In her old age, she frequently fell and broke the bangle. They believed the bangle was protecting her from injury, so each time it broke, my mum had the goldsmith piece it back together with gold bands. Grandma wore it till she passed on.

Beautiful story and such a special piece! You can feel close to your grandma when you wear it ❤️ I have such a piece from my great-grandma and I mended a small crack on it recently with a gold band

Have been wearing her since last Saturday. My Sisi-in-Law from Alabama asked me ‘ what kind of bracelet is that it looks like water? Since I’m not a jade expert I directed her to research and look at this chat. She only think that diamond and gold is everything. Now she has been exposed to something else that’s beautiful ❤️

Again, I’m not a jade expert but, I love these bangles, I am open to anyone options, for your my jewelry sista’s. I brought them over 3 years ago at the LA jewelry mart. The booth I was buzzed in, and lighting was kinda low. I feel that I got them for good prices. Regardless I love them ❤️
Tell me what you think?

Hello ladies!

I changed my avatar... I went to Zippy's website (local restaurant) and their search page has a nēnē (endemic goose) saying "Cheehoo" on it and it cracked me up. "Cheehoo" is an expression of exuberence here. You have seen Maui use it in Moana.

I hope everyone is doing well! Love all the jade posted recently.

They look pretty! Although I feel alittle suspect that the bright lime green bangle maybe treated (which isn't a good thing in the jade market compared to other precious stones) + dyed (could be some other stone imitation as well), so do be cautious if your skin's delicate as any potential acid/bleach left in it could harm you in the long run. The bottom one I love but since you said you got those 2 from a jewelry mart, I'd be cautious of it as well due to aforementioned treatment. But other than that do cherish it and wear them in moderation!

Wow. That is funny, my nail technician said the same thing. She loved the 2nd bangle but had doubts about the first one. It’s good to have ‘ride to die’ on your side that will tell you the truth!

I recently tried on this beautiful jade ring (I’m not an expert, it just looked very beautiful to me)

 

[mrs moulds]

Thank you ladies for your honesty and help. It is and, always appreciated ❤️

They are both just gorgeous! You are very lucky to own such beauties.

I'm not an expert either so I can't really tell the difference which is why you have to find and buy from a seller that's trustworthy.

I bought this bangle from her. So beautiful in the pictures. I can't wait until I see it in person. I love the peekaboo green patches.

I have the sister bangle!
If you didn’t get the certification done, here’s mine. Should be quite similar
