Yes the first one is from ultimate jadeite and the second is from JYBeautyAT. Has anyone worked with this seller? I really love the lavender shade ever side I first saw one but for some reason I was also envisioning something green for my first piece. Is that silly? Between the lavender and the one below, which would you pick? View attachment 3172675View attachment 3172676

Between the lavender and this one I would choose this one. It's very translucent and dreamy. The green is so soft with pretty swirls of more vivid green. Definitely this one. And all the more so since you envision your first bangle to be green :)

Still the lavender for me because of the size and shape. I personally just prefer it better.

Oh my gosh, I was inspired by you to go check out Ultimate Jadeite's Etsy shop and I am in love with their dark bicolour bangles!! What character! I think I've been subconsciously looking for some sort of black bangle, ever since I lost a cheapo plastic thing I just used to love wearing. But I want something more meaningful and don't feel an affinity with anything like onyx.... I did look for black jade the other night but it was all way too expensive as a black bangle is like fifth on my priorities list lol. But these, I just love these!

Do you wear between 55-59 because I think that's the size thy have them in. Do you have your eye on one of them? All are pretty but I like the ones with more black / darker. It's a very good price too:)

Yes, they're very affordable. I've been staring at the eight or nine very similar ones and think I've chosen a favourite from them. They're the perfect size for me, I doubt I could get anything smaller than a 59 on. Fatty is either 60 or 61 so this would sit comfortably behind it.

Update: This marvelous piece is on its way to me now :D I think I chose the best of the bunch (in my opinion lol). There is another which has a lovely saturated black part, but on the reverse there's too much of a line between the black and grey/white area for me. So this one is mine.

Toying with the name Inky...

Inky sounds like a current name for such a lovely bangle😊

I was looking at the d shape black jadeite. They are pretty too!

Mod shots please when she arrives - how exciting!!

Ms Blue, so glad you're feeling better and your new dark Hetian looks great on you! I love my jadeite bangles, but just adore wearing and rubbing my nephrite ones! ;-)

dster1, all 3 are lovely and as the other jadies have said it's such a personal taste. Which one calls to you the most? I like the 1st one where it's so patterned that it's almost a neutral to me to go with everything.

Congrats nexiv! I wish they had my size in these tres affordable princesses!

RedKoi, your bangles are beautiful and your new ring is a stunning heirloom piece! Your confetti bangle looks untreated A grade in your photos. I'm so glad my inexpert comment about color polish was incorrect!

This is a cute story I'm reposting.

What a beautiful tribute to her Jade bangle. So nice to see non Asians appreciate Jade as well.
I wonder if she ever find a way to put her bangle back together or perhaps get a new one.......
