Junkenpo I forgot to add that I also have a bangle with a a couple of little bright green dots only mine is a skinny princess and is pale green instead of white. I will post a pic tomorrow. I'm trying to get my kids to come inside the house - they just want to ride their scooters all day:)

Beautiful bangles Beadweaver! Love, love love them both!

Jademommy, I think that one looks like natural jadeite to me. If it were another stone, it would not have that patchy texture that jadeite has, and the colors are very typical of jadeite, but not so for other stone types. My guess is A grade jadeite. Also, your daily bangle is pretty.

It's jadeite. The only nephrite bangle I have is the Yukon Snow princess from Allan, although I wouldn't mind having more. It does feel lighter in hand than a comparable jadeite and the sheen and chime are not quite the same.

I don't remember the last time I posted this, but last year I took some video of the chimes of the jade in my collection. Here it is again. I'm using one of the vampire jade pieces to clang them. :p

Thank you Claire I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my bangle. You are quite knowledgeable and so I value your opinion:)

Also thanks for the compliment on my everyday bangle. It was a Christmas gift from my hubby and two sons and I feel happiest wearing it.

I don't own any nephrite but find it interesting and would like a nephrite bangle someday. The jade shops near where I live sell predominately jadeite.

What a cool video! All of your bangles have a pretty chime. There are slight differences in the chime but definitely all clear and jadeite sounding:)

Here is another picture of my bangle. For some reason the colours are not coming out accurately. It's bluish lavender with a few pale green patches. What do you think Jadies- does it look like untreated jadeite? It's is semi translucent. I like d shape bangles but I find this one too flat. I prefer higher domed d shape or princess. Like I said it was one of my first buys. Let me know what you think please [emoji4]

Lots Love, your bangle is strong looking, and rich with textures and colors. Very lovely!

JKP, thanks for the comps on the bowls. They are perfect for any and all little things such as pins, clips, and even little shells. They are about 1.5 inches in diameter. They are really quite fun....I've been long wanting jade things for around the house, such as natural, unpolished boulders from california, or bowls...so this was my first step into collecting something other then jade jewelry.
