So beautiful. I love that area to the bottom right of the larger bangle. It looks like a lovely green translucent area. Can we get a close up of it?

Was doing the washing up this morning when I suddenly saw the translucency and wonderful stone characteristics of my current bangle. Thought I'd take a pic.
Happy weekend everyone![emoji8][emoji8][emoji8][emoji253][emoji253][emoji253]
Such a wonderful feeling when we see our jade in a flattering light or notice something we never saw before
This to me is one of the reasons why jade is special.
Great pics Crytsalline! Do you have a favourite of the two? I mean both are beautiful but sometimes you connect with a certain piece more.
Got my apple pendant today. I like,it, but am not as thrilled as,I thought I would be with it. I need some very honest opinions, ladies! Please forgive me for spamming the thread with pics, but want to show the good and the disappointing aspects so you all can help me decide.
Seller warned me that it was not as vibrant as her pics, which is to be expected with lavender jade. In indoor light, color looks the same as her pics. First two pics are indoor, others outdoor in overcast light. Last one with the lavender dragon ball to compare size and color. specifically asked about stone lines and she said no lines or fractures. I see stone lines, but cannot feel them with my finger. No one else would probably notice, but for the $, I'm not sure they are acceptable to me. Whatcdo you all think? Pendant was $200 and is certified. It is clearly hand carved, as it is not perfectly even, which is a characteristic that I appreciate (except in bangles - those must be even ). Honest opinions, please, keep or return?

Hi Jade4me, yes that's the one from my parents.
Crosso, I have to admit, the apple looks almost white in light. But that might just be my iPad screen. Or is just very pale lavender?
Maybe you should hang on to it for a bit. Sometimes a piece grows on you. But I guess ultimately if you aren't satisfied, then you should return it. No point blowing money on something you don't like.

To my very untrained eye the seller's images show a smooth liquid looking plumpness (only way I can describe it lol). Is that the sort of feeling you don't get from it in person? I have a feeling in these cases it might be a gut instinct sort of thing? Definitely take time to mull it over in my opinion. Beautiful though.
It's very beautiful crosso--but I do see what u mean!!! What kind of cameras or filters do they use!!! Your pics are kind of white in some, but then in a few I can def see the lavender, even purple-ness to it.
I think it's still a beauty...but I know what u mean...I bought a green lavender/lavender bangle a couple years back that looked totally different...you can barely see the lavender in real life...and also, the green looked a lot lighter in the seller pics and in real life it was a beautiful real green lavender jade...
Idk bout seller pics anymore...sometimes it is such a gamble!!!
Wow...I looked again--in the seller pics, you can't even see any stone lines really....but in ur pics I can see one I think...and the color...it is definitely a different...
Some might think a dramatic difference....
I think you l have to pray on it Crosso...it's a beauty but it doesn't look totally as advertised...be that as it may--You still have a beautiful pendant there...if u don't want it I will take it
jk
I have a bangle I got from gojade, and it's the opposite....inside it looks white and green...and when I'm outside, it looks pale lavender and light green...
Jade can be a trip...
It's still pretty Crosso...
Sorry y'all...I don't want to blow up the thread with my comments...I just look at her bangle and see more and end up commenting more
Crosso I understand how you feel. It is not as juicy / translucent looking as the sellers pic. As for colour lavender is had to photograph. In some of your pics it is more lavender but a couple of pics look more white. I see the stone lines but they would not bother me personally. It really is up to you. You know that bangle I got from suzannes corner? Well I was bit disappointed at first but I've grown to like it more than at first sight. For me it was the lack of translucence that bothered me. Colour is good though. The bangle was a little over $200.00 US. I chose to keep it and I'm glad I did. It is a bangle I wear sometimes but would never be an everyday bangle. Sorry I'm rambling but all this to say maybe think it over the weekend. See you if develop any feelings towards it...
