It’s beautiful! I’m on the fence about splurging on a princess styles bangle since I prefer D shaped. But it seems most icy styles are cut in princess.
Thank you! Definitely a splurge for me but haven’t regretted it one bit since. But I also limit myself to only (fat-ish) princess otherwise I will go bankrupt haha. The shape also lets me fit into smaller size bangles easier. The hard edge of the D is painful to take off 🥲 I heard a seller once say get princess if you want ice/glass, D if you want steel shine.

This is a vintage piece from a family member with an interesting gold inset.
!!! You just gave me an idea on what to do with my broken bangle! I call this type of nephrite (I think) kiwi jade because it reminds me of the fruit. It’s very pretty! 🥝
 
I've loved looking at the other pictures in this thread and thought I'd share my own! This is a vintage piece from a family member with an interesting gold inset. I admittedly know nothing about jade, but I think it's pretty 😊View attachment 6150170View attachment 6150171
You’ve got a real gem there and totally inspired by the simplicity of the gold inset. Very clever!

Hi everyone, I’m splurging on an anniversary gift and need your opinion on these two bangles. Which would you choose?

Green one has no stone lines. Lavender bangle has some stone lines inside and is a slightly thicker/heavier bangle. Both are 5 digits with the lavender being more expensive.

Also including photos from the seller’s website which are slightly more vibrant than the screenshots I took.

Happy anniversary ❤️
Will you have a chance to try at the store or be allowed a return?

Love your new name lol.
(April fools!)

Reason I asked is it’s an expensive buy and glad you can return IF you don’t fall in love with it when received.

It’s such a hard choice.

If it’s me, based on pics, I’ll pick the all green simply due to its watery state. It’s always the water content that depicts its jewelry-luminosity; not color (but we know if both exist together the price would go up few folds).

I wouldn’t trust the last pic but the screenshot you took.

Definitely difficult to choose; sometimes jade bangles need to be tried on to feel the connection. Please update us when you receive it!

Ps oops I have quoted wrong post. @dster1

My first thought was also for the green one due to translucency but the purple seems so vibrant now I’m on the fence.
 
Voting for green as well! The lavender is lovely but the screenshot just looks too different. Unless the seller is willing to send you more pics taken under different lighting? But even so, I think you can get a better one for the price.
