I bought these (they accepted best offer) - the 8mm mala - as they were more beads for the money and I can knot them myself. Hope they are as nice as pictured!
Hello! Yesterday I received my carved bangle which was described as 100% jadeite not enhancement of any kind. When she arrived she felt much lighter than jadeite so I did a quick gravity test which came out as 3.123. So I contacted the seller to ask about it and was told that she has lots of crystals (Albite?) in her which gives her a much less quality polish, and a much lighter feel. I'm happy the seller was honest. I'm also very happy that she is much lighter than my jadeite bangles and I can wear her with ease. She feels very smooth and waxy. No bats, but butterfly, lotus and dragon carvings. She has lovely greens coming out of her but I can't seem to catch them with my camera.
JKP I'm loving all the glossy photos you are posting!! Beautiful!
Crosso, your grey bangle goes so nicely with your sweater and skin tone. Gorgeous! The green beads are lovely too. So many!!

Thanks for the explanation!! haha the diagram helps.
I have cats (all rescues) and dogs (pedigree). I've always loved corn snakes! They are so so so gorgeous. Never kept one before because of the feeding bit but have always admired them. I've had other exotics before (had 5 Tarantulas at one point. haha) but most have passed on.
Have you ever taken pics of your jades with your corn snakes? I'm imagining it and think it would look pretty interesting!

i was looking at that seller the other day actually! How funny. That's good to know someone has purchased from them happily.
I actually foun the post when you first introduced her yesterday
And it was from lurking here for several months, reading about everyone's experiences and their love for jade. I started learning more about it and the uniqueness of :each piece and how they're all so personal really captured me. And then I knew I needed my own
It's a nightmare holding my corns whilst I'm wearing jewellery actually, because they just attach themselves to it and start coiling through it all lol.
I tried to get some action shots of Erynome (also known as Nommy Noo) being a bangle, but she was insistent on being a between the fingers ring instead
I'll try and get a shot of my big boy Bats later, as he'd be my very own "lavender bangle"
Looks like we were bidding on the same bangle. I posted it on here for feedback if its the same bangle from antijade.
