Hello! I wanted to drop in and say hello. It's been about a year since I posted here I think. At the time I had just purchased my "lavender" bangle after a long search, although find it more blue. Still longing for a true lavender but have worn what I call my fat ice princess for most of this year. Quite different in different lights.

Your bangle is gorgeous NYC Princess! It is a blue lavender but I find most of the lavenders are more blue and or greyish. It looks really good on you and is a great fit. Are you able to take it on or off easily?

Also want to say your daughter is adorable! She will need her own jade bangle or pendant or earrings.....😊

Thanks jademommy!

I can take it on and off easily but am pretty lazy with my jewelry and tend to leave them on.

Ha maybe when she's older. I'm afraid she will bang a bangle and cut herself, or that a pendant is a strangling hazard. Haven't gotten her ears pierced yet for a similar concern of her potentially yanking on them. And I can already hear the concern in my parents' voices doubting whether it is untreated, and that chemicals and dye will leach into her skin.

Did you get jewelry for your boys when they were babies?

Weird! Claire, I tried to reply to your post from yesterday re my hinged bangle, but it brings up some totally random post from another thread! Anyway, it is still at the jeweler for repair. I'll post more pics when I get it back, but here are some from when I first received it. ☺

Congratulations NYC princess! Gorgeous baby...good job mama! Bangle is dreamy, and I love the substantiality of it.

JKP, how frightening! I hope danger stays away from you and yours.

Crosso, that's the one I suspected! It's a GREAT hinged bangle, and what a sweet, gentle color! Congrats! Those hinged with lovely color and evenness are getting very hard to find. That was a fabulous find IMO.

Thank you! I really love the color and how it looks pinkish in incandescent light. Can't wait to get it back! The interior of the hinge was cracked and it's a delicate and tricky repair and the engraving will probably have to be redone. Well worth the wait to wear it without worry, though.
You are right, I think, they are getting harder to find and more expensive. I saw this one from Alohamemorabilia that I think is fabulous! They never specifically say the jade is grade a, but most of what they sell looks so to me. This one has nice translucency and the extra detail on the hinge and clasp makes it so unique.

I saw that one too and I love the fancy clasp! Aloha has many more on their other site...AlohaVintageJewelry. They carry lots of Ming's, and a beautiful wide, hinged black nephrite set, as well as a white nephrite set. The ones on that site are in the many thousands though.

I don't look at their other site often - too rich for my budget😯, but they do have gorgeous things, especially the Ming's! I think the other lavender hinged you mentioned may be Designer Good's 'Galadriel' bangle. Her's is a slightly bluish lavender Ming's - really beautiful!

I love the blue lavender, I would love to have one with similar colors.

Hi jadies!

love all the jade being shown off. We're prepping for Hurricane Ignacio here... hope he blows north or south or breaks up due to wind shear like the other storms this season.... they are just threatening one after the other.... keeping my jade close for protection!

Stay safe and dry!

@pio thank you :) have you decided on the bangle you were eyeing?

Crosso, I hear ya, some of those things are pricey. I think your hinged is as beautiful as the ones on there. I know Galadriel! I'm glad it went to a jadie. That one's a beauty also! You both did super well.
