Hey ladies and perhaps a few guys out there. Just dropping into to introduce myself and my go to jade bangle. I am a male is his late 30s that's into semi permanent and permanent jewelry. Because of that I've been interested in pieces that either never come off, or only for emergencies including Jade Bangles and Karas (bangles usually iron or steel that Sikhs and some Hindus wear as part of the 5 K's) The bangle I have shown below is what I like to call the 'Storm Bangle' due to it's coloring and pattern. I bought it from a seller in Massachusetts about 3 years ago and was wondering what kind of Jade or Nephrite it is. I can barely get the bangle on my arm and off with conditioner and lotion as well as a bit of pain, but it sits comfortably on my wrist. It's the hands it has trouble with, especially my left where I wear it as it seems my left hand isn't as flexible and nimble as my right.

this one looks jadeite to me, jadeite stones have wide range of texture

I am new to the jade world and got my first piece last weekend in Singapore. I wanted something to add to my bracelet stack from time to time. Funny enought it looks so much darker on the photo than it actually is. Will try to get another shot soon where you can see the green much better. I got it at a store with local brands and it said Grade A jadeite. Thanks for letting me share. <3

It has been a long while since I've visited this site. Didn't know there's a forum about Jade (only used this forum for handbags discussion). I'm glad there are other jade lovers out there! Anyone have experience purchasing type A jadeite from quality seller in the US? The only seller that i'm able to find that's based here in US is Baikalla. I love their pieces and purchase lots from them but want to branch out to look for other designs and sellers. Any recommendation?

Any expert can advise what are the flaws of this jade bangle? And if there is anything I should be concern of like cracks? I bought this at rtp $2k with 30% discount.
