I have permission to purchase this fatty today if I wish :D

Now I do I can decide if she's really what I want. As I mentioned my dear other half and I have been through the wringer the last few weeks, so I want to try and be as sure as I can I'm not spending money on a whim. I know he'd give me anything he could right now to help make me happy and I want to respect him enough to not take advantage of that.

I wish there was a way I could tell the date I put it on my favourites list on Etsy, cos I've looked at her a number of times. I think part of it is the thickness of it! It really stands out to me amongst my other favourites. I'm going to make a paper version in a bit to test out that size.


But here's the thing. If anyone is up for this, could you show me other jade bangle options in the $220 - $300 (£150 - £200) bracket? I'd like to see how I feel. I'm just looking through Etsy now, and the reason why I decided not to go ahead with the carved one from GeGe I asked about a while ago, is because I feel the edge is just slightly too "sharp" for me, and the carved design not as pronounced as I'd like. The colour is stunning but I'd prefer it if it were uncarved if that makes sense :smile1:

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 this east west design! It puts a modern touch to a cherished heirloom! You should wear it more often! :-)

It's a very pretty bangle and unusual in how thick it is. Just be aware lavender usually looks more vibrant in photos. Have you looked at Ultimate Jadeite both on Etsy and eBay? They would be a good reference for bangles in that price range.

Gotta love a chubby princess :) Take your time to decide but I would say that is a reasonable price for this bangle. It's pretty.
The bangle I recently bought at Suzanne's Corner is approx $250.00 and it is similar in that the lavender colour is nice but translucence and shine was just okay. It is a medium princess in terms of thickness. Not sure it you saw when I posted my slim pale apple green princess but that was about $300.00 USD.

I'm making my way back through the thread now becoming more and more interested in translucency... *sigh*

Your flat lavender D is TDF!

Nevix, I like the weightiness of this bangle. Remember though that lavender almost always looks more intense in photos than in person. I think this is a good price for this bangle and princess is the classic shape.

I'm wearing my maw sit sit bangle today and took some pictures since I was recently asked about translucency. It's actually more translucent than I remembered in the light, but since it doesn't appear so on my arm, I think of it as more opaque. It's really a lovely stone. I ordered a maw sit sit mala and some green silk thread to create an opera length necklace to either knot or double to wear with it! 😊

Ooooooh, so pretty, jademommy! The color is beautiful and I like the way you had it set very much.
