The JADE thread!

[clairejune]

Nexiv, whatever is meant to be will...i fully believe in Jade karma. If something is meant to be yours, then it will still be there.

With the bangle in my Avatar, I wanted it for months, and when I decided I would get it, it took me 7 months to pay it off, so it took a year to get it.

Hi, it's harder to take a picture of your own wrist than I thought. Here is my new celadon nephrite bangle . I love it, the depth and creaminess and the glow is mesmerizing. It's 55mm, by 19mm, D shape and very comfortable to wear! This is pre loved, certified , from the 1940's.

Gorgeous Beadweaver! Adore the creaminess and the width! Is it your first nephrite Jade bangle? Congratulations!😍😍

 

[Beadweaver]

No , I have an Yukon from Allan , that I've been wearing for about 6 months. Thanks!

 

[clairejune]

Ah yes, the Yukon! How gorgeous...love the shape of yours.

I have one also...,ok tomorrow I'll pull it out and wear it again.

I think warm colours are supposed to suit me more but I like all colours. I tend not to wear red or purple very much though. I'm Chinese wih med Asian complexion but I tan very dark in the summer

Sounds like my skin tone - I'm Chinese, too. My mother hated how dark we got playing outside in the summers!

So I took the plunge finally and took my Yuzu to my jeweler to have those bubbles smoothed out of her silver. He said he thought it would look good if he textured the silver and smoothed the edges down so those big bubbles would be gone. He did a tiny bit while I was there and it looked great! I get to pick her up on Thursday and I'm so excited.

He also immediately recognized her as Jade and said she's a really nice piece. [emoji4]

So excited for you and can't wait to see it! How lucky you have a family jeweler you can trust and has reasonable fees.

Congratulations it's a beauty and love your Yukon Snow, too!

Bleh, after going over some numbers, unless I can sell a few of my creations including a large mirror (which still needs some painting, then distressing and waxing) I'm just nowhere near being able to kick start a payment plan and keeping up with it in a short timeframe. I need to wait and save so I'll be letting her know this. Whatever will be, will be.

You will find your fated jade bangle! So many beauties out there - there's always another one if this wasn't meant to be.

Me either. Yes I'm very lucky, he's very good with repairs but his favourite thing is making custom jewelry. Hopefully he doesn't retire any time soon, I've always planned that he'd make my engagement ring.

It is so creamy and dreamy This is the allure of nephrite that is making me want one. It is such a pretty safe green Beadweaver and looks nice on you.
I also like your Yukon bangle.

What a soothing shade of green! Looks beautiful on you.

 

[Beadweaver]

Thanks so much! I have such a fascination for jade. I have another bangle on its way to me now. A white Siberian jade . This one is very thin, only 8mm wide. I will post pictures when it comes. White, honey, and snow.

Beadweaver, congrats! I think it's very unique and like sun shine. That Heaven Jade is so interesting with the white and yellow inclusions. I think it's a lovely addition to your collection.

I know that seller. I recently ordered a sampling of things to check out what qualities of Jade which they use. I'm curious how the things I ordered will look, since they apparently don't use many tools and it's all hand cutting.
