You PL is very pretty. I find a lot of lavenders pull bluish or greyish.
I'm the opposite in that I find the d shape easier to put on and less painful. Princess bangles hurt but are worth it

Okay will keep you in mind
There is quite a bit of jadeite in Toronto and Markham but not nephrite.
Which of my two lavenders above do you prefer by the way?
I like the better color one
This is the one I almost bought from Singapore last year through photos
Oh I think Silver Mom bought the purple princess that we looked at together. Somehow that one didn't strike the right chord with me. Sometimes it looked like a vivid orchid purple and other times faded. Also, it was more than I was willing to spend, at $7k. Hopefully she got a better deal though since she is a longtime customer.
Actually I did ask silver mom's jewelry Alice that but they thought it was too nice to cut into. Im like but no one fits it lol!

I was guessing you would pick the princess with the better colour. I like my d shape one slightly more
Wow this bangle from Singapore is spectacular! I love the colour, texture / grain, everything.
Is it still available? Can it be shipped and returned?
What size is it? Maybe you can go to Singapore as well when you go to Hong Kong next year...

JKP, when you stack, do you put a buffer? I'm afraid of chipping. I wore two whites for a long time and the thinner one was slightly chipped.

Yea I want to go to Singapore to do a jade visit!! Im not sure if it's still available. He sent me photos of four last Fall. I want to get something like that. I was so close to getting it but I had just gotten the expensive blue lavender from Jojo and the color still wasn't what I expected. Lavender is SO hard to photograph that I was afraid. I don't recall exactly but I don't think he accepted returns. My friend was going to pick up for me as she was visiting family. They don't typically sell overseas. A local Tpf'er has given me the store info. It was 54mm.
My parents are from HK but we don't have family in Asia. I'd like to visit Taiwan next winter to visit my husband's extended relatives in Taiwan to bring the baby go see them. And then side trip to Singapore!
Well of it's meant to be it will be there when you visit someday. Lavender is hard to photograph. Assuming the pic is how it looks is this the shade of lavender you are looking for because it is pretty much my dream colour purple
You mind if I ask what the price was?
My parents are from Hong Kong too but we don't have close relatives there anymore. All are in Canada or the States.

That grain is really nice on the singapore bangle. I love how soft it makes it look.
$7K is a lot to spend.. def more than I have now! At that price, It's really better pass unless one was absolutely in love. I would have loved to see it in real life. Maybe next year's Oahu trip, assuming DS doesn't get sick and we get stuck in the hotel again the whole time, I can try again... heheh...
Maybe asking Allan at jadedivers or seeing if he has a recommendation for someone closer to NY could work? It is a shame to have such a pretty bangle and not be able to wear it! It's like Iroh with me, I think I could get it once, but would not be able to take off... I am having too much fun swapping bangles out right now. But it is my intention to wear Iroh as a forever bangle after I retire (far into the future!), and then start gifting out or selling my bangle collection.
Sometimes I wear a buffer, sometimes I don't. Depends on how noisy I want to be. Right now I'm wearing a stretchy key thing.
That's a very fair price. $4000.00 Singapore
Dollars is about $3600.00 Canadian. Jade
Pricing is somewhat subjective but I would say a bangle like that would cost a lot more here in Toronto. Not sure about NY prices.
Do you see younger women in NY wearig jade bangles? It's not too common here but it's catching on. They typically wear light colour d
shape ones.
Yea it wasn't a bad price. I was just nervous about it being real to life. I paid $5k for this Jojo one. In real life, it is lighter than the indoor light one.
Young women here don't really wear jade unless they recently immigrated.
What's your size?
Like I mentioned, I don't see much jade here in NY. And I'd also be afraid it is treated. There was one very small stand in a jewelry complex that was all jade. They charged $5500 for one that had a tiny bit of purple. This was a year and half to two years ago. It didn't look that nice and I didn't try to bargain.

Jojo has some beautiful jade bangles on their site.
I really like your bangle. It's more blue in indoor lighting. Both looks great but I like the indoor look even more. It's worth the 5k
actually that was a big leap of faith to order onlinetoo but you did good!
Yeah probably the younger ladies I see wearing jade are newer to Canada too but they modern so I'm hoping it sparks a trend.
Oops I forgot to answer question about my bangle size. Mine range from 50-52. I can go to 49 but any smaller than that would be very painful and not worth it.
