This is a hard one because they are both complimentary to each other. My first instinct is the 1st one because I like the balance of the purple & green but you really can't go wrong with either... the 2nd one does have it's appeal, colours more even and vivid.
That is so cool! I mostly wanted it because it has a better texture than cotton candy, and no chips. I finally received it, and I must admit, the texture is heavenly, but the colors are more vibrant in cotton candy. I don’t regret my purchase though. It was freezing cold, and a very good weight for the price.They will be a matching pair
Traditionally, women bought two bangles that came from the same rough stone at a given time... Just in case one breaks, there is a backup. Because each jade bangle is so unique, it would be near impossible to find a replacement.
My hinged bangle is coming today. I can hardly wait to see it. Excited!!
From which seller did you send to get tested? Did any sellers give you treated bangles?
I love this bangle! It does seem to change colors, but to me that is a plus. It means it can match with more outfits. Plus the green color is so gentle and sweet.
Cotton Candy’s sister finally came in! She’s a very feminine and gentle color. Mostly green/white with a splash of lavender. The texture seems fine over all, and I barely notice the crack line that was mentioned. However, I the surface of the bangle looks, mottled in a way? It feels smooth to the touch, but when looking at it in light, it looks almost as if there’s speckles of different texture? I don’t know how to describe it. It feels very well waxed. To the point that when i received it, it felt kinda tacky and dirty, so I gave it a nice soapy rinse. Has anyone had a texture like this before? Like I said, it isn’t rough, but looks jelly like with splotches of uneven surface.
Thank you. I have decided to keep it as I find myself wearing it a lot! It is very comfortable.
I especially love the texture and the mottling. It has an old world charm to it... This kind of jadeite reminds a lot of the vintage ones. Just beautiful.
Thank you! I will say one thing, it is surprisingly heavy in comparison to similarly sized bangles in my collection. This new one and Cotton Candy feel so dense.
How interesting! Well they always say quality goods are heavier than the norm.
From the pics it looks really pretty.
I was told old pit had a better translucency. I was told this was old pit. However I’m not sure, since old pit is also considered the old colors. Like your Apple greens, and lavenders. This bangle is a mix of green and gray.
Would you be surprised if I told you the second one is significantly pricier than the first? I originally had my heart set on the first and wA going to check out but then the vibrant green and translucency in the second caught my eye.
It certainly appears very glossy. Very fine indeed!
I guess it does make sense since purple hues are very desirable and this bangle is predominantly lavender. When you say significantly pricier, by how much if you don't mind me asking? Because the price would definitely influence my decision when choosing between two bangles.
