Brief early reveal as I'm very excited and couldn't wait to share even just a little before actually receiving it! A brown shaded nephrite bangle should be on its way! I hope I love it in person! I've admired others' brown/honey jadeite bangles and when I saw this one in nephrite, it called to me. I waited a bit before bidding as it's on the larger size for me. I kept thinking about it and decided to go for it as it was reasonably priced, too. Wish me luck in that I'll love it in person!

It is worth it to get natural untreated jade. It will be much stronger and have that special magical quality. Good luck with your search and I know you will find a gorgeous bangle Nexiv.

True talk!!! Yes...untreated is soo much better and prettier!!! Even the everyday bangles that have stone lines and un-uniform color can be a lot prettier then the enhanced jades.

Here is the link for that bangle

Here is the link for another of hers that is dirt cheap and stunning! You think perhaps this one is dyed for the colours to be so intense?

Yes it's dyed....I know because I have some that are similar when I very first started buying jade....nothing wrong with dyed but it breaks down the stone eventually and the color goes as well :-/ but they are pretty as heck!

Ms Blue I'm glad I'm not the only "weird" one here wearing a bangle in each wrist 😛.
Truthfully I think it looks better to just wear one bangle in the left but yeah due to the fact that all other bangles would be neglected I sometimes wear one in the right too.
For me I don't stack mainly because of the noise. Too loud for me when they hit. Jade is so hard I'm not too worried about damage but the noise disturbs me lol

OH MY GOSH!!! I totally know what you mean!!! Wearing stacks is disturbing for me!!! Lol!!! It's like wearing a bell!!!!
I did stack a glass Indian bangle I got as a birthday gift with an enhanced one for about a week... then my kids said, "mom--we always know where you are at home or in a store because of the sound of your bangles...."
Well geez boys!! Thanks a lot!!! Then I was totally aware of my bangle noise :D
Now I just wear one bangle on each wrist....
Yup, I am one of those kinds of "weirdos" ROFL!!!!!!!!!

I once met an heiress who wore imperial green bangles stacked from wrist to mid forearm, with no buffer bracelets in between, on both arms! She wore them so well, it was unforgettable thing to see, like a high priestess!😍😍

We went to the beach today and I took a picture or my everyday bangle along with my new bangle from Suzannes Corner. I moved the lavender bangle over to the left for the pic. Does anyone else here wear a bangle on their left and right hand? I can't part with my everyday bangle and so the only way to wear my other bangles is to rotate them on my right. I don't like to stack. Not sure if it looks weird or too busy but recently I have been wearing a bangle on each wrist

Molly, what have you seen with nephrite? I ask because my experience has been smooth smooth. Now this is interesting because it's that collective bank of experiences...I'm sure as in jadeite, there are vast differences between nephrites.

I have BC and NZ nephrite and although they are smooth, it is the "creaminess" in this one that is so different. This one was advertised as Chinese nephrite by Gege which is why it is so different I guess.

I really like the color contrasts on this bangle. The streaks of darker color against the light is really eye catching. It really homes in on the idea of liking something "because of the flaw" instead of "in spite of the flaw".


Hey thanks Jukenpo!!!!! I really thought the same thing as well, you most definitely articulated it better :-)
Yes....that is what I thought when I saw it....the light and dark....when I saw it for sale and then got it in person: it really blew me back....I was like, "whoa...u are a beauty!!" It's flaws definitely add to it, as crazy as it sounds :-) and it's nice and strong as well... I love translucent, flawless jades but I also love the beautiful flawed ones as well....
I am a full blown jade junkie :p
