A little catch up here...
Beadweaver, your new Siberian bangle and pendant are sublime and truly heavenly! Love 22K gold and it highlights your pendant perfectly! Pretty soft blue bangle you have!

piosavsfan & tea, love your new carved bangles and congrats on your forthcoming bangle and bead, piosavsfan (your SC one looks A grade to me, too)! With a carved bangle a closer fit will help avoid knocks on the more delicate raised carved bits. I think the size of your SC bangle is a perfect fit for you when you want a more snug bangle, but not too snug so it's still relatively easy to put on & take off. I'm still waiting for a carved bangle to call out to me.

annatok, love the blue green shades of your Neptune and Egg, with its cute friend carved on it! Does Egg have some of the same shades as Neptune?

Amazing pin you found, Molly! There's some pretty greens in it especially the ingot shape top. From your fav thrift shop? I need one of those! Love your not-humble princess, Jack!

ms_loKAbLue13, hope you are feeling better these days! :smile1:

JKP, you posts the best photos! Keep them coming! :cool:

Beautiful bamboo jadeite bangle, Lots love!

crosso, congrats on your pretty baby princess and the cute bats! Here's what I think I'll do with my black jadeite barrels. I used one of my bigger black jadeite beads as a focal, and spaced them with Thai silver (nearly pure silver) beads for a choker. (Sometimes I like to wire stuff up temporarily with the cheapest beading wire & crimp beads, wear it around for a bit to make sure I like it before the final finishing with sterling silver crimps on better beading wire, and covering the crimps with crimp covers. Maybe you already know this, but sterling silver crimp beads are the most reliable, whereas base metal crimp beads have been known to crack & break. If you use crimp covers, then it doesn't matter what color the crimp bead is underneath if for e.g. you're working with gold or copper colored metals.) The rest of the jade barrels are a little wonky shaped up close and I think I'll knot them with leather for a bracelet and hopefully it'll be long enough for me to wrap twice around.

That's a cute choker! Would go well with anything.

Also, yes, Neptune and Egg are the same aqua Blue color, Egg just has a finer texture :)

My beloved jade bangle cracked. Brought it to my jeweler to put a little band with a charm to hide the crack. I think it came out pretty good. View attachment 3155944

Sorry your bangle cracked but your jeweller did do a nice job. I've never seen a jade bangle with a dangly charm...did you design this or did your jeweller suggest it? Very creative!
How did your bangle crack by the way?

Always new LV , your bangle looks beautiful with that charm.
Thanks everyone who commented on my white Siberian set. Any suggestions for a name for my bangle?
I was thinking: honey, or "little bit" as it has a little bit of honey, a little bit of snow .

Because of how she glows I thought of light. Lucia, Lucette and Lucetta all mean light. Just a friendly suggestion! :-)

That little touch of gold in your Siberian set kinda reminded me of "Midas' touch".. the overall colour reminds me of royal jelly. not sure why but your Siberian set feels very regal & elegant to me :)

JKP, what a fantastic way o wear a beaded jade necklace! I absolute love it.
Annetok, I always smile when I see you post Egg. She's so dreamy.
Lot Love, your dream bangle will become a reality one day. Patience, and saving. ;)
NYC Princess, "Jade Boulder porn!" I laughed out loud! LOL
Molly, it does seem that local Nephrite would be more appealing after reading this. My sister stopped collecting jade as she said evey time she looked at it she would think of the under paid workers suffering to get it to us. :(
Jade4me, you always come up with the most artistic designs. I absolutely love this new one you've done.
Always New, I'm so sorry your bangle cracked, but must say how lovely it is with the charm added. It really adds to the bangle.
I hope you all enjoyed a Happy Thanks Givings!! Mine was good. This year I didn't poison eveyone with under cooked turkey!! :)

Today my inexpensive Hetian dragon bangle arrived and I do love HER! What I love most is the way the color changes. I have a white one that does the same but the olive color is what I was looking for in this one. Each photo is of the same bangle, but just to show the shades of color in different lighting.
