Loving the pics of everyone's new goodies! Congrats and keep the mod shots coming!


Ms Blue I hope you feel better soon.


My pic for today is leftover (from my choker) black grey jadeite barrel beads temporarily knotted on orange Chinese nylon knotting cord. I grabbed the least used color I have sitting around to check if the end result will be long enough for me to wrap around my wrist twice. After I finished, I realized I'm all set for Halloween! :p After Halloween I'll knot it for real on leather cord in an antique brown color. ;)

Not sure my pic conveys it, but the knotted beads have a slightly different look than the ones spaced with silver - they look a tiny bit smaller and less substantial with the small knots and no larger focal bead. But they are all the same size barrels from the same strand. I also realized that by being able to wrap twice around my wrist means I can wear it as a choker, too! :smile1: When I knot them with leather later, they'll take on yet another slightly different look as the leather cord will knot bigger and have a more rugged look.

You made this yourself Jade4 Me? I'm impressed! Looks great as a choker as well as
a bracelet.

LOL!!! I was sitting in my truck trying to get out (pain!!) And I was going to take some pics, so I just hung them there lol.. it is a tree outside my house...

I ve also been loving the gray and black colored bangles..I have one on the way, a black hetian one the hubbs graciously bought to help me feel better.

The brighter green..it is a princess cut green jade..it is a 64mm? It is pretty big on me...I thought it would be ok, but it slides around...I love the color... but, it doesn't work for me...we should trade piosavsfan!!!! Hit me up in the inbox if you think u might want to :-)

I love it because it is princess, but it feels way too loose :-/

Hello Jadies and jade sisters!!!! I ve felt awful... so much pain... my cousin whose a nurse says it might be endometriosis??? Who knows anymore! ! I have another appointment later today...
ANYWAY--I got my 2 Thai bangles...they aren't super expensive, but I am now trying to get the Darker jades now... I have a Hetian coming hopefully in another week that's black (dark green.) I convinced my hubby that it could be helpful for doctoring myself and for the pain and he agreed without batting an eye. :-)
Well, I hope you all are doing a lot better then I am!! Much love and GOOD HEALTH to all you ladies out in the world..

@Babydarling---

Wow...I need to learn how to make these!!! I could use them for spacers :-)
These are fully beaded bangles made by a beading master, Charlene Holy Bear.... she's way good!! I really need to learn what she uses for the middles and produce some for myself!!!
