I forgot to add Baikalla! They are based in the US. I think their prices are a bit high for the quality though.

I love how you think. I love to look at UJ. It is an expensive hobby though, as I end up buying things. Her bangles are nice. I also bought a lavender grey cabochon ring from her that I like, but needs a reset.
I have a line of new plants not shown in the picture. White blooms, yellow blooms and three given to me from my mother, who said they did not like her apartment. Those will be a surprise flower.
Hmmmm, this color reads as oatmeal gray. Looking closer though it is speckled greenish tan and desaturated grey/lavender. I wore it today from guilt
.
Here it is on white. Light isn’t great, rainy day.
Thank you! She’s my first jadeite bangle. And i can wear from a 49-52, although the smaller the bangle is, the more comfortable for me. And im looking for around the same thickness. The thickness for this one is 14mm. However, I also have a fondness for smaller thinner princess cut bangles. Around 10 mm.
Yes, although I do not know Unijade. I also had a piece of Imperial (or close to it) bought from Yokdee on Etsy and tested grade A from NGI (Nan Yang) Singapore. Adding pictures again, because I like seeing pictures
In reality this is quite small and the green is more saturated. The gold back helps improve the shine.

I will post any pictures and links if I come across a lavender bangle you might like.
Our first jadeite bangle is always extra special, isn’t it? My very first one was too small as I wanted a snug fit but the bangle was oval. The replacement I purchased is a bit big, but it doesn’t risk falling off the base of my wrist. I liked the colour and there were none that I liked in my proper size. I’ve pondered for weeks if I should have exchanged or sold it but now I feel guilty I ever thought that way! I’m sorry, my dear bangle!
@Alex B that bangle size is quite small and unfortunately not very common, it seems. Be patient. I don’t see any lavender bangles in that size now, except for UJ but that one is very dark and translucent and also $19k CAD.
How long have you been looking for a lavender bangle? It really depends on what kind of jadeite stone the suppliers get. Or how about a lavender ring to go with your light lavender bangle? Alternatively, you can get an amethyst bangle if you don’t mind that it’s not jadeite. I’ll keep an eye out!

It’s hard not to buy new things. I won’t buy 2 bangles of a similar colour because I would like each one to be unique. I have the basic pale green, with the blue and lavender coming in the new year (I will post pics!) so if I were to get another one, which isn’t very likely, I will be yellow.
I don’t want to buy jewelry that sits in a box and doesn’t get worn. I have 2 gold necklaces, a bracelet and pair of earrings and I feel that is enough in terms of gold jewelry for me.
For jade bangles, I told myself that I will buy only as many as I would wear permanently because I cannot pick and leave the others behind! Maybe in time, my thinking will change. Jadeite is very much a solid investment, especially during these times, but that’s not why I buy it though, haha. Enjoy within your means! Life is too short to say no all the time.
The grey colours in your bangle is very fitting for our winter weather! I love the white scattered in between. That’s the beauty of natural stone; it’s not uniform. Apparently black jade is good for luck!I have a line of new plants not shown in the picture.

Thank you kindly for your thoughts. It helped me look with fresh eyes.
@Alex B check out this bangle! Reasonable price and your size. Please do your due diligence. I have inquired to this seller about “vintage” bangles and she said these are new, but the jade was mined from last year. I think there is a money back guarantee if it doesn’t test to be grade A jadeite, please confirm with her.
