Yes you are describing exactly how I feel! the first one is calm and soothing. Peaceful and gentle. The second one is alive and vibrant in colour and personality. Both are earthy to me and makes me think of nature at it's best.

Exactly Jademommy, me too! First one is like a foggy day at the beach with sea weed and sand, water, fog and earth. Second one is like trees in the height of summer green, turning Orange in Fall. I do think the width of the first one is amazing.
Love your way with words Claire..you would be an amazing seller of jade. Your descriptions alone would make people want to buy
Thanks again for your feedback and insight 😊
Really pretty patches. I like the way the color fades in and out.
Wore my flat d today
I like that shape, very unique! The lavender is pretty and soft.
Nice stack!
Re: waxy/dry.... i notice that in bright light, my glossy jadeite can look very dry and instead of dry, nephrite Cat looks waxy instead. I liked reading all the discussion of how coloring and mineral content interact.

It's hard taking pictures of your own ears... lol...
Here are the new-to-me earrings. In brighter light, you can see an edging of darker green where the brown bleeds to white. I'll see if I can get a pic tomorrow.

Could be wrong, what I read! Could you link me to some reading materials about this ion agglomeration? It's always good to learn

Good morning Jadies! I have a general question about sizing... The outer diameter would give an indication as to how tall the bangle is right? Some bangles look almost like a princess but with just a bit of the inside flattened.
Also with ovals, if I wear 50-51 in a round, would I get an oval that is the same size. Ovals have two measurements of course since it is not round but would the larger measurement be the same or greater than the measurement for a round? Gosh I hope I'm making sense
I definitely prefer round bangles but just wanted to know about sizing in case

My understanding is that ovals will fit smaller than a round, because you are losing some of the inner size area.... for example, if you took a cookie, and nibbled on the north-south ends; the west-east measures would be the same, but you still have less cookie. For this reason, most sellers recommend going up a mm or 2 in the long measurement, to compensate. Again, some of it goes back to how you like bangles to fit (snugger? looser?) and how flexible your hands are. For sure if I were going for an oval, I'd want to be able to try it on before committing to a purchase... when that's not possible (I have to buy online), then a solid return policy is a must.
Hi everyone! Haven't got the time to post much recently but I had been reading! I couldn't wear smaller bangles on my left wrist for past few mths as I was diagnosed with de quervain's ..just did the steriod injection a few days ago. ..hopefully I can start wearing bangles on my left soon
But the condition didn't stop my jade purchases! Hee
Here's a green one that I bought a few mths ago

Also recd a parcel from gegedesigns today. Seems like my online purchases had not been successful so far ... This beautiful white and green bangle was listed as 55mm but when I opened the box and saw it, my heart sank as I knew that the bangle is much smaller than 55mm. Based on my rough estimate it was abt 53mm or less...which is too small for me.
Grace is ok for returns but my elder gal loves it and the bangle fits it. So I'll still be keeping it. Just disappointed that I can't fit the bangle 😦
