I'm definitely not an expert, but maybe color polish was used as the green and lavender looks a bit bright and slightly false??? However, the price tag may hint at any color polish or not. However, unfortunately color polished jadeite is still considered A grade.


Hey jadies with dainty hands looking for a black jadeite bangle - check this one out:

It's an impressive width at 24mm, so if it were just 1-2mm bigger I'd consider it for myself! ;-)

Redkoi01, I have to reluctantly agree with Jade4Me. Something about it seemed just slightly off to me, but I couldn't put my finger on it. That said, color polishing does not mean it's not grade A. And if it is color polished, the brighter incongruous bits will fade in time, so it will be completely natural. It's a very pretty bangle!

Thanks all [emoji4] We're definitely still in our honeymoon period, can't stop looking at her! No sign of any other Jade wearers here yet though...

Jade4me, I had the bangle already. It's a custom (like most of my stuff) stainless steel piece made by an artisan here in the UK. Was a gift last Christmas and each side bears the first and middle names of my two boys along with their "nicknames". It's hand stamped and in a font that makes it illegible unless you look closely, otherwise it looks just decorative. It works fab as a spacer as the sides are flat, and my Jade makes an awesome sound when they touch! Every time I change gear in my car there's music [emoji3]

Lovely sentiment behind your stainless steel bangle - thanks for sharing!

Now that is a cuff bangle! 24 mm is very wide....Bidding starts at $8.50 ? Wow!
54 would be big on me but then again it is so wide that it may not look that big.

If your no soap size is 50-51, then yes 54 will be big. It's heavy, too, so it'll want to slide down your hand, but I don't think it'll fall off. Nor do I think it'll look too big being so wide, but you may need to get use to the fit and weight. It can be a fun going out statement bangle. ;-)

Do you think there would be a big looking gap between my wrist and bangle - I'm not too concerned about it falling off but more so looking funny:)

Don't think it'll look funny at all. But you should go no bigger than 54.0 IMO. Sometimes the sellers are off by 0.5mm so if it was actually 54.5 you may find it annoyingly big in how it feels. But if it was under 54.0 then even better for you.
