That is gorgeous! Is that appropriate pricing for the quality? Seems crazy to me but I also don't know much about jade pricing for high quality.And this is another beauty I saw...Its my size and I would buy it if I had an extra 120k laying around

Seems to be the going rate for that kind of quality (color, cut, clarity or transluncence). Been drooling after bangles from that seller for some time now. Argh hahaha
Hi all. Does this look like an accurate measurement for my bangle size? It seems massive! All advice welcome!
Looks correct, I measure about the same and am currently wearing a 53, which is snug over my hand but still a bit big on my wrist.
I think that's purple color polish collected in the stone line at the bottom of the pic - at about 7 o'clock if looking at the bangle straight on. Color polish seems to be more prevalent now with lower priced jadeite bangles.One seller honestly answered me 'yes' when I asked about color polish on some of his bangles listing at less than $100. He said for no color polish look at his $150+ listings.
I thought so, so do they take plain whites and basically apply nail polish and then toss on the coat of wax??? Wow....kind of messed up.
Can u tell me what seller said he uses color polish on his 100 bangles??
It's a Beautiful bangle, but lots of linest and stuff...unfortunately---that's my budget for the birthday present I think lol...probably less then $300...and that is my size so I was considering bidding, but the color polish makes me wonder what the real stone under it looks like...
Thank you for the tips on sizing. I currently wear a solid bangle past my watch, and the inner diameter is 65mm.
The bangle is here it is not listed as grade A and the seller is not on the verified sellers list. However at such a low price I figured maybe worth a gamble just to at least get my hands on a piece to really feel it and see it. I can feel my tastes changing the more I learn about jade which I assume is only natural. Suddenly some of the bangles I may have previously perceived as "boring" seem much more attractive as they are edging closer and closer to the super desired transparent greens. However I REALLY like the opaques, especially in white. White with a dash of colour really catches my eye
But please, go ahead because I'm no position to pull the trigger for a couple more weeks due to blowing my cash on some flights to Scotland to see friends lol
Ooh!! Scotland!!!!
U know....that bangle looks good but I have a feeling that when u get it there Wil be no heft...no weight at all...
U went thru wholesale jade to get some inexpensive opaque jades for my nieces...when I got it, it was feather light...it felt like stone but idk what kind???? Serpentine??? But I think even serpentine has some heft to it...I could be wrong....I love the coLoring tho!!!!!
And what is 10.67 pounds in U.S dollars? I'm such a dolt lol!!
I think this will be like that..
@piosavsfan--
Yup....That's going rate.I think if u had the $$ u might be able to bargain down to 110k....jade is kind of priceless, especially the translucent lavenders since they are soo rare!!!! That one has some great translucency as well with no lines....
Ahhh...it's so pretty....
I'm waiting for my new baby to be delivered today! Seller's pics:
How exciting congratulations on the new bangle Piosavsfan! Can't wait to see your mod pics
Got two beads from Suzanne - one small and simple carved barrel type bead and the other large and very unique! The lavender one is a dragon ball bead and I was very taken with the intricate carving, though I can't really tell yet where the dragon begins and where it ends. I hung it vertically with a baroque pearl for now - it was strung horizontally on a chain, but because of it's size, I thought it looked kind of weird like that. Don't know if I will leave it this way or not - any design ideas anyone?

Hi Crosso I like your new beads! Sorry I am no help when it comes I design but I don't think it looks weird with the pearl on the chain. By the way have you decided how you will set your apple pendant? The gold leaf would look so sweet with the lavender apple

Thanks jademommy! I like it fine like this, but am open to any ideas - it looked weird the other way, with the chain strung through the bead and no other embellishment because it is almost an inch in diameter and as it was on a short chain that made it hang right on my breastbone where it stuck out too much. Now it's on a longer chain and hung as a drop pendant, which I like, but maybe there's a better idea?
Re the apple, will have to wait and see once it arrives what will work with it. I'll post when I get it!☺
