The JADE thread!

[mrs moulds]

Hi jadies, I'm just popping in to say hello. I haven't posted much lately and you'll probably see me even less for the next couple of years. I think I am done with jade collecting for awhile. My home was destroyed in the Lahaina fires 3 weeks ago, along with all but two pieces of my jade. I was wearing the pendant and the bracelet below when we evacuated and never thought that would be the last time I'd be in my home. Please have a disaster plan at the ready: both for evacuation and shelter-in-place. I'd also suggest reviewing whatever insurance policies you have and how you keep track of and store your jewelry.

My last 2 jadeite pieces:

Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry. I will keep you/your family in my prayers.

My jadeite pieces today. Really impressed with how see through the clover bracelet is!!

Sharing my latest piece, a very slim princess bluewater jadeite bangle in size 51. I think this rounds up my ultra slim pieces for now (unless a nice wuji one comes along)

I'm very excited I just picked these up at an estate sale. Can anyone tell me about the color. I love them but need to work on getting them over my hand.

Well don't know anything about the bangle but it had great energy. Looks greener with my bead bracelet and shifts color depending on what I wear

should be some form of agate, not jade.
enjoy the lovely energy that works for you!

I agree with Purrsey. It doesn't look like jade or jadeite to me. Regardless, enjoy the interesting pair and wear in good health!

View attachment 5860607View attachment 5860608Hello Jadies! I need some advice. My new 47 mm bangle arrived, and I’m having a lot of troubles with it. Initially, nothing was different. There was a lot, and I mean a lot of pain to move it past my knuckles and thumb bone, but it got past. It hurt far more than usual, but I’ve seen videos of people with bruised hands, so I assumed I finally found the correct size for me lol. The problem is that the bangle won’t go past that. It goes past my knuckles, my thumb, but won’t go past the bottom part of my hand. I’m at a loss. I tried three time, and three times I’ve failed. I don’t want to try again today, as my hand is spectacularly bruised. What should I do?

Ouch! I honestly think it's too small! The bruising looks painful. I would not attempt again... a bit of redness is tolerable but causing that kind of bruising to the hand is not worth it. Does the seller accept returns or exchanges?

 

[zooba]

Oh well, I paid $7 for the 2 bangles and still love them

Not sure if this is a real jade but my mother gifted me this jade after she bought it at a reputable gold shop. It’s probably real but maybe low grade?

Hello!! Long time now chat! Has anyone purchased from jadeunique on Etsy? I saw they had a some really cute charms and I was hoping to get a couple to make gifts (knotting bracelets/necklace) for the holiday.

Okay ladies, can someone please talk me out of getting this bangle. It’s a major splurge for me and while I can afford it, I feel guilty about it. But it’s so beautiful!



This is my current collection:

The one in the middle is actually very similar, so, no, you do not need another one. Plus, three is a lucky number, whereas four is not

The bottom 3 stack are all pretty similar. I’m tempted to add the colorless one on top 😅
