JKP- I am so happy you were able to get rid of your bangles negative energy. Again last night I had to remove Karma from my wrist and she still gave me a feeling of gloom.

Crosso, I love your new nephrite bangle. I really would like one like it in the future. Gorgeous!!

Taishan - can't wait to see your new bangle. Try to use photobucket.com to post photos. That is how I do it. :)

Hello everyone! So many new bangles here! I haven't been posting much but I read all your posts and admire your jadies quietly. I also just came from Hawaii and saw some Jade jewelries from the stores but did not get anything because I don't really know how to choose a nice quality jade jewelry. I did however got a baroque pearl necklace. [emoji4] Anyway, keep posting and il keep admiring your beautiful jadies! [emoji7]

The talk about price points made me haul this out for more pics....

My least expensive jade bangle -- I bought it for my DS last year.

$3 bangle plus $8 shipping = $11 total

Same seller as my vampire jade broken bangle.

Need some advice, jadies - I love the color and plumpness of this little apple pendant. But it does not have a hole for a bale. Would one have to be drilled or would a pinch bail hold it securely enough? I think it would be a great match for my bangle, but it seems pricey to me ($250) for the size (19mm). Is lavender just becoming that much more in demand than it used to be? Seems prices have gone up and up.

And I just checked out ultimate jadeite's ebay and she added several small bangles 50-51mm and I am soooo tempted!

I wish she had outdoor-in-sunlight shots like she used to... that "milky green" one looks really nice, but I would want to see how it looks in full sun first.

Got my pale sage green Hetian nephrite bangle today! I like it - very silky feeling, nice polish and a pretty soft even green that will look nice with muted fall colors, I think. It looks slightly different in different lighting:

the way you describe your neph---I had qualms about my own nephrite....I wasn't sure...but the more I see others nephrites and their hetian nephrites, I am more certain that she is a nephrite for sure...I ve had ppl tell me she is but I am not knowledgeable about nephs to begin with since I have all jadeite and this one is my first nephrite....it's not super translucent, but it has some pretty patterns :-)
I love the color of yours!!

Thanks jademommy, luckybunny and piosavsfan! I got this one from gojade too. The color is most like the last picture to the eye - a soft, tranquil sage green. Nephrite really does have a different feel to it than jadeite. Jadeite feels slicker, like satin, wheras nephrite is smooth, but softer, like silk.

Thanks for talking about nephs!!! I didn't know anything at all about nephrites!!! But the more I looked and shared and asked, plus how all of you speak of nephs...I am certain that mine is a nephrite....it does feel silky-smooth :-) and it is a tiny Bit lighter in weight then my jadeites....which feel very heavy at times, at least my super heavy weight girls do!!!

Hi ladies,

It is so wonderful to see all the gorgeous pics of stunning jade! This has all got me wondering about this bracelet that my MIL gave me 6-7 years ago. She got it from China. I have no idea whether it has been enhanced or not, or even the price. What do you ladies think? Gosh I hope the links work. It's the first time I am posting pics.:p:p

I agree, feeling is a super important quality in a bangle! When I first got Ope`ape`a (black carved) the feeling I got when wearing it was tense and angry. It was a "strong" feeling bangle... I had to stack it with other "softer" bangles to mute that feeling or I wound up feeling tense and angry myself. It didn't change until I tried stacking it with Leaf (super flawed but very translucent) and the energy just cleaned up somehow. It was (and is) still a "strong" feeling bangle, but no more negativity. Now I can wear it alone and it's one of my favorite bangles to wear and seems more protective... like it redirects negativity away.


I thought I was one of the few with a bad luck bangle....I ve heard how you got yours to be "neutral" and how the other jade sister soaked hers in salt...I'm going to have to do this with snow white...she's super baad luck for me :-( my DH and I argue, I got into a real fight, ugh--the list goes on!!! Do every time I see her, I put her on, then I think, "why tempt fate.."
I'm going to try both your ideas:-)
