Maw sit sit beads arrived today - finally! It seems to take forever for anything to get to the US from Thailand. The beads are lovely with a really nice polish. Pics are indoors, outdoors in shade and indoor sunshine. Very happy with them. Now if only I can find the right color silk and the time to knot this many beads!

They do have a lovely finish Crosso. Very shiny and would look nice with a Fall sweater. I love how they are fairly uniform but each bead is unique and there are slight colour variations:)
 
Also, Churk sent pics of Lila with her new hinge/clasp. Hopefully she will be on the way back to me tomorrow! He added gold to make the hinge clasp thicker, as well as adding pins to make it more secure. I think I'm going to be very happy with the end result.

Lila looks amazing! What a pretty lavender. Churk is doing great work. Love the carving, too, very nice touch.

She looks exquisite! The hinge is yellow gold right? Very elegant looking Crosso. Now if he ships it tomorrow how long will it take to ship to you?

Theme for today: colorful! Bali and my eggyolk amber ring

:)

Nice contrast of colors... Bali is always so soothing to look at.

Did my first jade bangles family shot!

What a feast for the eyes! You have some awesome choices.

The maw sit looks great in low and bright light, nice personality change in the colors. Lila also looks fab! Great to see how professional Churk is with his work.
 
Also.. the bamboo carved bangles here got me wanting a similar one for me... I couldn't find any jade ones in my size, but saw an agate bangle in etsy I liked, but seller was asking a lot. I decided to check alibaba and found a seller in China that looked to be selling the same thing. Here's a pic (there are more in the semi-precious stone thread). I haven't check SG or floresecne at all. Does agate get treated like jade does? I know they do enhance for color, but this one is very pale, which I really like.... with only a slight peach cast to it.
