That intense purple is amazing and I believe very rare. My price point is much lower for jade bangles, but I can relate in percentages. For eg $125 vs $100 for the more appealing one. But only you can decide if the $2100 one is worth 25% more than the $1680 one. Go with your gut instinct.

I love it and it looks great on you! Perfect when you just need a touch of jade on your wrist and the carving design is timeless. Thanks for the comps on my black jadeite ball pendant!And speaking of loving carved jade... found something else that called to me!
My first SC purchase!
I saw her post this bangle over the weekend and the small size and different style of carving said "Push that BIN button!"
She is sooo light! It's very thin, but it does have a chime. Listing says "no cracks" but it does have visible stone lines. It doesn't fluoresce under UV, but I've yet to do a SG test. Once I put her on I decided I was too lazy to take her off again and pull out the scale at the moment.
I'm still mulling over names.
Great stack and the thread color in your spacer goes perfectly with your bangles!
Ah! How'd I miss this, that looks great... the colors are very complementary!
So these have just about the same size inner diameter, but Cat is a 10mm thick and the new one is only 5mm thick... I'm thinking of calling her Bubba. She's sort of shrimpy, Gumps was mentioned soo... shrimp, gump... I used to hostess at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company = Bubba. lol
Bubba is a very cute name
I first heard of Bubba Shrimp while watching Forest Gump. Love that movie
Cat is gorgeous! They are the same size but Cat looks bigger because of the height / dome. Is Cat a Princess or a tall d?
The hetian bangle looks lovely on you Annetok. While it may be a bit big it doesn't look it to me anyway. You can get away with bigger sizes in and shape 😉
Also vey nice of the seller to include a gift. Not sure what type of stone the green one is....
Thanks! I'm intrigued to find out what the green one is!!
Yes let us know please I enjoy learning more about jade and other stones. I still get confused with hetian and nephrite.... Your new bangle is hetian and I am guessing Junkenpos Cat is nephrite and they look different to me in terms of texture and just the shine of it. However I thought hetian jade is nephrite that comes from a particular area in china...
Do much to learn! I love looking at all the pics of everyone's jade 😊
Hetian or Khotan is a town in the Sinkiang region in china. I haven't been there but from what I've read, nephrite from the mountains tumbled down over time and some of them ended up in the rivers. Rushing water removed the impurities from the nephrite, so over time this river jade turned white. This white nephrite is really expensive especially when the quality is mutton fat-like.
candle or wax like white jade is much cheaper.
Jademommy, here are all the photos. The ones with two bangles are both 56. Do you think it's worth $2100 vs $1680?
Oh my NYC princess! Those are all some beauties!!! I'm a sucker for lavender and purps... ahh.... so pretty!!!!
Here's the two of them. I wonder what stone the green one is? Seller just gave it to me as gift
They are pretty Annetok!!! And I wonder what the green one is? Let us know when u find out!!
Thank you for explaining the difference between Hetian and nephrite....is Hetian always white?? I see too many things labeled as "Hetian"---it sure got my confused. And I thought Hetian was nephrite as well... some lady(not here) told me it ALWAYS was.. because of my unsure-ness, I always strayed away from Hetian bangles, although some were so Beautiful...my ignorance just kept me away from them :-/
Here's the two of them. I wonder what stone the green one is? Seller just gave it to me as gift
I have a question:
Do the Hetian bangles still feel nice and heavy like jadeite??? My nephrite bangles are heavy...but they don't feel as heavy as my jadeites do...
So sorry annetok---I am still learning when it comes to Hetians and nephrites...
I opted to buy it and try it on. It arrives Monday
She gave me a bit of a discount. Hope it fits well!JKP - I'm eyeing the double tour H apple watch!
