I'm drooling over your PaleLavender, it is gorgeous!!
Today I'm wearing my humble little princess cut nephrite. I call him/her "Jack" because I believe it is Yukon nephrite. (Yukon Jack haha)
What a pretty green! I've been admiring nephrite bangles.
 
More pictures of my new bangle from today, I can't stop looking at her! And a picture of my lavender princess from yesterday.


Piosavsfan - both your bangles are so soft and pretty looking! Your new bangle was destined to be yours. What are the odds that the wrong one is sent AND it fits perfectly AND looks even better than the one you ordered....this is jade karma at it's finest :)

WOW all these are from UJ? They are all so different yet I can get a sense of the type of bangles you like because they all have a very soft soothing quality and translucence. Your "pale lavender" doesn't look pale to me. It looks quite vivid actually. The three bangles on the top of the page caught my eye the most. Which is your favourite?

Love these group shots, JKP! These are all luscious! Need to see more of PL.
I have another baby princess coming - similar to your BP and Lippy and my Snow White in size. Will be a few weeks yet, though.
I'm yin/yang in black and white today. Stacking the two, you can see the difference in thickness. Hoping the new one will be a better match size- wise to Snow White. I think it will based on the weight.

First Princess was my first jade bangle and is still my favorite even if she isn't as often in rotation anymore. If she had been a 51 instead of a 54.8, I may not have collected any more bangles.

Any color you see on PL is mostly the result of the soft back lighting and the fact that lavenders photograph much more intensely purple than they look in real life. I find that most computer screens really bring out hidden colors. My Dell and my macbook were both matte screens, and color looks paler/more true to life than on glossy screens, including my cell phone.

When you have her in hand, PL really is a very, very pale lavender. Most often she looks greyish white.

Thanks for the compliments!

edited to add:

Crosso! looks like a sister stone of BP & Lippy! I like your yin-yang stack, too!
 
Thanks Teagansmum I didn't get charged when ordering from SC either but she is from Hawaii. I actually rarely order from Asia so was wondering...

I'm so sorry! I thought you were ordering from the U.S. I thought that is where UJ was for some reason. I love ordering from Asia. Never had any troubles with customs. In all the years I've been buying jade, and I have the fever, and bought lots, it's all been good. :)
 
I don't blame you, she's gorgeous! Can we have some close up shots of that awesome dark patch? It's so mysterious, like a forbidden forest in the middle of a lovely glade :smile1:

I love your description of the green patch. In normal lighting, it mostly looks dark green, but with some sunlight you can see all the little dots and colors inside.

How exciting Crosso! The baby princess looks very dainty. I can see wearing it with a pretty blouse or a delicate sweater. Can't wait too see your mod shots:)
