Jademommy, the size difference is something I would think about too. I think it could work nicely though!

So, my 2 siberian Jade balls came today from Jade Workspace on Etsy. The bangle is not ready yet...but the seller sent a nice box and an extra gift of a purple pendant made of Charoite (sp?)

The colors are very similar to my siberian bangle, one slightly more olive in the 'sugar' colored part, they are less clean in that one has a stone line, but for the price, they are good. Texture is fine with a few fine spots, and they are moist looking. So far, this seller seems legitimate and fair. Will post pics when the sun comes up.

Really?!? You've noticed that one before too? Which one do you prefer - the first one I posted a few pages back or this one and why? I value yours and everyone's opinion here since you all have such great jade pieces 😉

Jademommy, truly, I've loved the second one for many months! I would choose the second because somehow I think it would be harder to find another like that one..,it's just beautiful and has its own life. The first one is beautiful too...but if it were me, I'd go for the second one because of the color range, distribution and stunning translucence!

I read that yin is the texture in Jade, and yang is color. A colorless ice Jade has a lot of yin and no yang...thinking in those terms, about 'balance', the second bangle has a Fabulous balance of both body and color while remaining translucent.

The first does also, but the colors are more toned/muted, and gives a restful feel to me, whereas the second pops out in its color. I hope this describes why I adore it.

Thank you Claire for your feedback:) The second one is definitely more unique in colour. It therefore is also more of a "risk" because the colours in real life may not look as alive and fiery. The first one is a softer dreamier bangle and is even thicker so it would really be almost like a cuff style on me. I don't know...
Oh and to make matters more complicated I've had my eye on a few bangles I've seen in the jewellery stores near me!
