The JADE thread!

[ivorydolly]

@ivorydolly ooh I haven’t heard of the yoghurt container method and now got curious. Might google it hehe!
I tried on those few bangles in Hong Kong. They do have more selections there vs Bangkok, in various price points and qualities. I was so happy simply looking at those beauties!

With Myanmar being way closer to Thailand than HK, I tend to think it would be better to buy in Thailand price-wise. But I read somewhere that more raw materials and bangles are shipped to HK and/or China vs Thailand. Presumably because that’s where the market is. I wish to visit Myanmar someday and get a bangle done from scratch. That will be great!

I read it in some online forum (can't remember which one tho). You draw and cut according to the bangle measurements and see if your hand fits.

For now, my only option is online shopping. I now have 4 bangles (3 that are wearable, one broken). Still on the lookout for more beauties haha. Glad you got to experience jade hunting overseas.. would have been so much fun!

Hi. Need some help from the experts here.

I will be gifted a wuji bangle by someone (she is buying one from her vacation and will get me one too. She says it is good for me ). I have little knowledge on jade nor wuji (I just collect some info from googling).

What is wuji supposed to do and what is considered a “good” wuji jade? Are they supposed to be very dark colour?

I worn a jade bangle two decades ago but after wearing for about 3-4years it broke and I’ve never worn one since.

Bought some jades recently. Been wanting a wuji gourd pendant for the longest time. Finally found one while shopping for jade bangles. Now I just need to add a gold bale to the gourd in order to wear it.

Wuji jade seems to verrry popular at the moment. I don't know much about it to be honest.. besides the fact that it has a black pattern.

Lovely finds @pureplatinum! Glad you finally found a snug, hinged one to your liking. Also where did you get the green beaded bracelet? So pretty.

I've bought a few jadeite pieces to match my bi coloured bangle recently. Can't wait to show you all

Thanks so much @ivorydolly This hinged bangle rounds up my collection (for now lol) with the exception of a carved one. I’m in no rush to get one though and content to admire what carved bangles fellow jade lovers have including yours. The green jade and gold is a present from my hubby from awhile back from one of his trips. I haven’t worn it for quite some time and glad to have “resurrected” it.

I am looking forward to seeing your new additions and mod shots too, if you so decide to share mod shots of the pieces, that is.
