I read that people noticed their jade bangles getting prettier overtime with wear. For anyone who has jade pendants or other accessories, have you noticed the same changes? If so, please share your story!

I don't have personal experience on such changes to my own jades. But I'd seen a shop owner's bangle looking more moist as compared with another sister bangle cut from the same stone that she was selling. The bangle that was being sold wasn't worn before.

Also this is my aunt's bangle (the green one) that she's worn for over 30 yrs. She said the colours are more intense now

Yeah I've heard nothing but good things about SC and I was impressed by how quickly she answers emails and shipped within hours of when the order was placed. Which piece did you purchase from her?

I purchased my DD's baby bangle which ended being too small so she converted it to a charm necklace and a bangle similar to Crosso's Snow White for my mom. Hopefully you will receive your item before you leave for holiday!

Those are gorgeous pieces Crosso. Also is rather the jade look better in real life than in pics. I thought the bangle I ordered is pretty and I hope will look as good or better.

On a side note do you Jadies believe in the perfect bangle? I ask because you would think once you find it the need to get more jade would end but it seems like we always want more...

I do believe there is a perfect bangle for everyone at a given moment. However, within our lives as we develop, grow and adjust to different stimuli, our lifestyle and desires change as well creating the need for different attributes in our jade. I think every jade piece has a divergent energy or spirit to it and we are then drawn to that piece that we desire to full fill at that given moment.

Absolutely gorgeous. 30yrs is a long time and I can see the bond and unity between the jade and your aunt. The color is bright and looks well loved. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and picture of your aunt's beautiful bangle.

The lavender bangle next to hers is stunning as well!

Thank you and so nice to see you! :hugs:
Toad is from orientalart off ebay. A wonderful seller at fantastic prices. It is a fun piece that I will pass on to my DS. I enjoy wearing it and like the substantial size to it and details of Toad's skin :smile1:

Interesting...I've only been really interested in jade bangles for about 3-4 years and my taste has changed a bit. Funny for me I only feel this way about bangles. All other pieces are beautiful to me but I don't feel the connection. Weird.

Now that's a bight apple green bangle! 30 years wow - is she able to remove it? Not that she should I was just curious if it truly is a permanent bangle. The lavender one - is that yours? It is equally gorgeous. They have a different energy but both so pretty

Designergoods, that pendant is a statement piece! And the texture looks interesting like some leathery animal skin.
Hmm...haha reading back. I just realised that you were asking abt pendants instead of bangles. Read too fast lol. I think pendants shld be the same? Looks nicer after wearing for a long time?

2boys, yes...same for me too. I only feel connection with jades and not other gems. It's funny!
My aunt's bangle is a forever bangle, don't think she could remove it. The lavendar one is indeed mine. Hee..This is my only pic of her jade. Taken when I first start to like jades earlier this year. Was very excited to see her bangle, it's weird that b4 my obsession, I didn't realise that she had a bangle on. Thks designergoods and 2boys for the compliments on my bangle

I fully agree with your belief. I will wake up in the morning and depending on how I feel will choose pieces that go along with my feelings. To give more calmness I'll wear my lavender bangle, to feel more help in sales at work I'll wear my greens, black to feel added strength, mixed colors when not sure how I feel, and my matching green tiger bell pendant that the bf also wears as a match daily, just to feel close to him on a daily basis. I always feel safe when wearing jade.
