This is absolutely beautiful. I don't think you'd be disappointed but if it's the princess shape you're after then wait. I adore my princess. She feels like part of my body more than jewellery!

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....

I can't see the texture in your photos as they are a bit out of focus. Do they have black flecks or swirls? I looks like some may have some brown in them? My best guess is nephrite...

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. View attachment 3174842View attachment 3174843

This one is gorgeous! It reminds me a little of one of mine that's in the 1st 2 pics - in the 2nd pic it's stacked with a dark nephrite. Jade bangles is a slippery slope as others have mentioned. You may not want to stop at one bangle once you get one. If you really love this one, go for it and you can shop for a princess while you enjoy this one. :graucho:


Ms. Blue, the 3rd pic is for you - I rarely stack, but yesterday evening I kept this dark nephrite stack on. You can see that the thicker bangle is more green like yours. The same thinner dark nephrite is in the 2nd & 3rd pics, but its dark green looks different due to the lighting.

The look of a d and process are different.... If you like this one then go for it because it's beautiful. If however you have your heart set on a princess and don't plan on getting another bangle in a while then wait until the process comes along. I'm with Jade4Me - I say get this one and enjoy it while shopping for a princess. A wrists desert two bangles 😛

Yeah my phone pics aren't great. No black flecks or swirls. My guess is nephrite too.
Speaking of nephrite I was in a jewellery store today that had some nephrite bangles. All were too big for me but they were nice. Different beiaty from jadeite. I don't think the ones she had were good quality nephrite but still nice.

I think when people don't mind having a variety of bangles, then it's fine to explore the shapes, sizes, and colors for bangles. If you want to keep one or only a very few, it's better to hold out.

I've gotten to the point where I usually wear the same bangles over and over and I'm actually thinking about letting some of the least worn go.
