The JADE thread!

[Dillemuth]

Hi! I think ultimately it's up to the wearer to decide what's most comfortable for them and to wear their jade in a manner that brings them the most joy.

All these years later, I'm not sure where I read about balance, although if you google about balance and which hand to wear a jade bangle, there are suggestions about it.

The important things is that you wear them and enjoy them. I'm down to the one bangle I'm wearing now and I can't seem to find any others that call to me just yet. I wish I still had the bangles and beads and pendant in those photos.

I have also collected many bangles over the years as I love the simplicity of a traditional round jade bangle. I currently have a really nice nephrite Hetian Jade bangle that I wear on my left wrist. It’s a pale green, although not translucent some some of my previous ones. Soon, Allan from Jadedivers is making the beautiful custom Edwards Wyoming black nephrite bangle for me. It will intentionally be rather tight as I can’t stand large ones that flap around since I’m very active in life. Since it will be difficult to get on and off, not sure if I want to wear on my left wrist with a bumper in between or one on each wrist. Hence the question.

Not its debut here but wearing it today and this is the bangle that started it all years ago (to buying more) because I was mesmerised by how pretty this piece is ; curious to know more about jadeite.

Makes me crave for sweet crunchy corn.

Wow, I've never seen jade like this before (then again my only jade exposure is here). Love the yellow and yes it looks like corn! Beautiful touch with the matching ring too.

Found a right size, to me, caboacon and decided to set as ring.



Came together too in the mail. Interestingly the green jade looks different under different lighting.

No idea on all that’s mentioned.

Do you like the look of it?

Hi everyone! I’m new to the jade collecting, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any shops in US/Canada? What are your opinions/experiences on Mason Kay and Allaboutjadecanada?

Baikalla.com .. they have physical location in Portland Oregon . 100% recommends

New and my last (jade bangle). I’m at bangle peace. I have enough bangles to last 6 months if I change out every week (which i always do; sometimes twice a week).

Hi. Thank you.
From a China live sale - from its factor source. 3000rmb which translates to 420usd thereabout.


Just sharing some photos I have kept here on before and after on other bangles.

Unfortunately they are overpriced for the quality you get. Especially for bangles.

I’d say I agree.
I have been following them for awhile. That’s my observation too.

But they give a good physical front for buyers in the States, and of course being in the social media helps them too.
Buyers just have to expect they may nt be getting a “great” price though.

@caruava @kartier @sunsetbayy thank you very much.

My bespoke is from IG LittleJadeiteHouse located in Singapore

Bangles are from a china live sale in youtube. They sell straight from the jade factories (from raw slabs). They have 3 sessions a day all day long, thus the danger lol. You can PM me if you're comfortable to converse with them in Chinese.

Could you send me a PM with the sellers info/Youtube? I have a friend that can translate for me.
