I think your gift is lovely and goes with anything. Even if she were treated, which I can't tell from he photo, she's still a pretty looking bangle that would be great to wear on days where you need clarity in your life, since she's nice and clear.

Thank you Tea! Actually it was very thoughtful of her. She bought it on a recent trip to Asia. Not sure if it is from China or Thailand because she visited both countries

I must say, if I owned a beautiful bangle such as Dream, I'd never search for another bangle again!! Wow!

Thanks tea!! In real life, the texture is not that fine but it does have some translucency. Strong lavender is very expensive so I am happy with the soft but visible lavender color (not as faint as my Jojo pink purple) and the soft green like new green shoots.

Here is the jade ring given to me by my dad when I got married. I wore it on my right and but switched it to he left for the picture. Easier to photograph. The jade was from a ring he used to wear and I had it reset. I designed it myself. It's set in 18k gold and the jade is a bright apple green.

I love how the setting really showcases the beauty of the jade! :)

Thanks! I'm not sure if my mom ever wore this on me as a baby but I definitely did not wear this as a child. Found this pendant in a little red pouch my mom used to keep all the gifts I received as a baby (mostly gold bangles, chains and some small jade pieces). :)

Btw, Dream is soooo gorgeous! I'm hoping to one day acquire one like Dream.. a mix of lavender & green.

That's sweet for you to become reacquainted with it.

Thanks! I've been looking for a pink purple for a long time.

Dream in different lighting. Photos are mostly of the most vibrant spot. It is also not quite as vibrant in real life. Is this what they call broken glass? Some translucency but a larger grain?

I think this may be what they mean by broken glass or broken ice. I like it sometimes more than fine grain because it givers it so much character and seems to refract the light.
It's lovely on you. I'm guessing you like the lavender side more than the side with the green patch :) I think both sides look great. It definitely has much more purple than green.

Ha broken ice, that's what I meant!!

Broken glass sounds like a bar fight!! I do like the purple more but the soft green is very soothing too.
