can you post photo of the piece with color stain? I’m no jade expert but if it’s a surface stain, perhaps you can try a mild abrasive..like glass polish (like what is used on ceramic cooktops) Or even comet .. I know this sounds ridiculous but I‘m equating this with stone countertop stains. Polishing is what tightens up the porosity so don’t do that til the stain is extRacted.

Gee, I really wish I could take a good pic of it but my phone can't pick the stains up at all.
It is a surface stain but there's some that is stuck on/in some stonelines, currently I have this piece soaking in acetone for 3 days total. Which has gotten I'd say 90% of the stains but the ones remaining are very, VERY stubborn.
Here's the pic despite it being blurry (circled out to the notable areas where the surface stains appear)
Those blackish lines and smudges? Wow. It’s incredible that clothing could leave that. Good that your acetone has worked ..it really is barely visible. I’m impressed! The piece itself is nice! Is that a curled up monkey on a pendant? And what is the name of this type of jade?Gee, I really wish I could take a good pic of it but my phone can't pick the stains up at all.

Thanks! I'm just as surprised that clothing could quite literally leave a mark on a piece, and I believe it's a monkey hugging a peach(?)
with a ruyi slapped onto it.
It's jadeite as well which was on bid from gojade quite a while ago, although I wouldn't be surprised if the piece's got a heat treatment on the yellowish/reddish part.
Hey everyone! For those of you who stack without buffer bracelets of some kind in between, have you ever damaged a bangle or bracelet that you're aware of? I've been thinking of trying to stack several of my bangles together on one wrist so that they don't really have room to move- has anyone tried this? I'd really hate to damage my jade and have always just worn one at a time.
Also- does anyone have experience stacking just large bead bracelets? I have a few 13-14mm round nephrite bead bracelets that I'd love to wear together, but am concerned about damage like with the bangles. It seems like it might be easier to wear the beaded bracelets together, but I'm just not sure. Any advice would be appreciated from those who like to stack, thanks!

I personally have never done stacking on either of them due to the reasons you listed above, as eventually you run the risk of them not only having one or more of them chip from just clanking onto each other too hard/on the weak spot (stonelines, hairline fractures, cracks). Same for beaded bracelets although if they're 13-14mm maybe you could get away with it since they're more form fitting thanks to the stretchy cords, so you could have multiple of them on one wrist without the risk of them chipping each other, as well with them being such large beads, they can withstand some beatings on each other here and there probably.Hey everyone!

Jadeite bead bracelet with serpent head clasp from Anthony Lent.
Wow! I'm not familiar with this brand... very cool! I'm a snake, so I totally approve. I really like the combination of beads with the snake and tail. The necklace is tempting, neat that it comes in different gemstones.
I’m a guy so I can’t get away with wearing a bangle like this, but I can’t get enough of this drooling over this bangle. Absolutely stunning!
If you're into translucent, icy pieces then go for it! Although you may want to ask for indoor and outdoor pictures so you can see how it really looks in everyday life.
I’m even a little worried about stacking jade with gold bangles though jade is harder than gold. I do sometimes stack with thinner gold bangles or bracelets but tend to remove it after going out. Never stacked full-on jade with jade before. Scared of damage!Hey everyone!

Thank you as usual for your advice I’ll be sure to ask for more pictures.
Welcome to the thread!
I'm of the opinion that jade is for everyone and the deciding factor of "getting away" with jewelry is confidence and attitude. If you like it, rock it! I saved this pic from 1stDibs because I rarely see men wearing bangles, but I like the look of it on them.

This is a really nice pictures although I think it would drive me crazy having my watch hit against the bangle but this makes it look much more masculine at the same time.Welcome to the thread!

I’m very sure I’ll eventually purchase a bangle as they’re my favourite piece of Jadeite jewellery to look at. I’ll just select the appropriate colour.
