Did your bangle arrive? Pics please! Hope you are happy with it!
She is here! I will take some pics tomorrow, it is getting dark and she deserves some sunny pictures. I do like it, it's what I wanted and looks great with my other princess, my only complaint is that the width was listed as 14mm but is actually only 10mm. Not sure what gojade would do about it though...
Congratulations on such a beauty!!!! I think if you were to mention to the seller about the size difference he would gladly discount a bit of money. I've purchased from him before and have one on the way and I know they are very good about that. Can't wait to see photos!!!
I think they are lovely as they are Crosso!! The colors are so pretty and the carvings are nice and deep. Good find!!
So exciting! It looks great in gojade's pic, can't wait to see it in the sunlight. So glad you're happy with it! Re tge width, take Teagansmum's advice. A little discount always lessens disappointment in my experience 😉
Congratulations Piosavsfan!👏😃😋! That's a beautiful bangle! I already know it's going to look fantastic with Seafoam! Looking forward to modeling shots.
Congratulations Crosso! I think both beads are lovely💕😻. Because you asked about the pearl, my opinion is to try a small, shiny black bead with no surface texture. The pearl is pretty and I imagine a shiny black would highlight its lavender color and the smoothness would contrast with the deep carving. Good thing with that bead is that you can try and change combinations depending on mood/outfit. I personally am a huge pearl lover but the jade is the star of the show!

Pretty beads! I specially like the lavender, SC desperately needs better pictures because I couldn't tell how pretty it was from hers. I'm not sure that I like the baroque pearl just because of the shape of it, I think it would look better if it was round and smaller. Or perhaps a small jade bead instead? I think the lavender should be the star and anything you add with it should be little and not as noticeable, does that make sense?
You were both right. Gojade ended up discounting $30, wouldn't discount more because he apparently already sold me the bangle at "wholesale" price.
Still cloudy here so no sunny pictures but here are some from this morning. It's not as purple lavender as it was in gojade's pictures but I still love it. The color looks really different in different lighting, but I would say it's more of a bluish lavender, sometimes looks a little grey. The pictures are of different sides of the bangle. Love the green spots in it too. And it has a little brown beauty mark.

Beautiful, Piosavsfan! Looks fantastic with Seafoam and glad you asked for and received further discount ☺ Good purchase!
Thanks Claire and Piosavsfan for your ideas! I used the pearl as it was what I had lying around to get an idea of how it looked hung vertically. I think you are both right, it needs to be smaller. All the leftover jade beads I have are larger, so will have to shop around. I do like the idea of black for contrast. I may have to get a few small beads and play around with it to see what looks best. Hmmmm.
OMGEE piosavsfan!!! It is gorgeous!!!! I love it!!! Such a pretty!! U went thru gojade? I ve got several of my bangles from them....one was only 8 or 9 mm :o
thin and skinny, but it turned out to be a favorite
Post some more pics!!
Wow! She is gorgeous!! I so love blue shaded jade!! Also very happy you got a discount for her. She was worth every penny as she stands out beautifully!!
Beautiful colours. Can I ask what your buffer bracelet is that's in between your lovely jades?
Regarding my little cheap Etsy find, I've asked for the weight. If they give it to me and it has some heft (I'm thinking 35g+ it should be?) I may well pull the trigger!

Does anyone know what sort of customs charge there is for jade items entering the UK from the US?
I've just been browsing gojade and have seen something I like that is properly green for the first time!! Lol I know it sounds silly, but it's a bit of an occasion I think
I dunno, there's just something about this green that makes me happy. Even though the bangle has a small mark(?) on it, it doesn't put me off.
Also a little bit in love with the black and grey round beaded bracelets. I'm thinking the greyish ones would look so lush with rose gold.
I'd love to see some pics if anyone owns some really dark beads. And how do you like to wear them? Do you stack them with other jewellery? What do you use for buffers (if you use them)?
