Jade4Me and all the other Jadies here are a couple more pics of my beads. I've had them for a long time but not sure what they are. Could they be nephrite? They are from my moms aunt in Hong Kong and have sat in my jewellery box for over a decade.

Another close up pic. Any ideas what this might be? It is cool to the touch. Slightly translucent. No shimmer. It is a bit shiny but not super shiny....


Wish I was more knowledgable in gemstones.. I looked up nephrite beads and it looks like your photos. Sorry I can't be of more help :(
 
Do you ladies think this is grade A? I'm torn between a thinner princess or a thicker bangle. Which do you prefer?View attachment 3174477View attachment 3174478


I can't tell if it's grade A or not, will let the others chime in on this. But between the two I prefer the first one. The chubbier one. hehe. It's more personal preference really. So go for the one that attracts you the most. :)

Dster both of these pics are of the princess...Which is the thicker bangle you are thinking of? Is it that d shape bangle a few pages back? If so I prefer the thicker one because it looks more translucent and I prefer the shade of green that it is.
As a general question between thicker bangles and princesses it depends since there are so many factors. However for me if I had to choose between a perfect princess and a perfect d shape I would choose the princess 😊
 
Oh yes, I was referring to the d shaped bangle a few pages back. The seller of the princess refused to send additional photos and said that its just "sold as is." I'll take that as a red flag [emoji107]🏻

Oh wow yes red flag. It is very pretty but a response like that may suggest there is something not right.

This princess is very pretty. I am not comfortable commenting on the grade of Jade unless it is obvious to me. Nothing stands out that it is not A grade but I am not that knowledgeable:)

Will this purchase be your first bangle? The addiction is strong so it may be the first but not the last lol! As an everyday bangle I do prefer a daintier princes
Let us know what you decide!

Definitely no no.

Ah so by thick you were referring to the previous D shape bangles. sorry! I think some of the ladies here find different shapes more comfortable for everyday wear. Personally I find princess shapes more comfortable but I'm currently wearing a D shape everyday. I notice for me it tends to feel a bit uncomfortable when my arms are resting on my computer table. But it could also be due to the size, I tend to wear loose bangles.

Btw I looked back at your previous d shape bangles and noticed the one from ultimate jadeite seems to have a rougher surface (zoomed in the second pic and noticed it on the darker parts of the bangle). just thought I should mention it to you. :)

Thank you so much for letting me know! I've narrowed it down to this bangle. Just debating if I should pull the trigger or search for a princess. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1446394611.331777.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1446394694.361974.jpg
