Question for the Jadies - do you find certain colours of Jade better suited to a season? For some reason I tend to like shades of green for spring and summer and lavender for fall and winter. Maybe it it has to do with the colours of clothes I wear.

Absolutely. I definitely think of my bangles as seasonal. The paler and bright colors are more spring/summer and the greys, black, darker greens and some of my agates are more fall/winter. The black and pure white are year round, but mostly it depends on what I'm wearing, so it is very much seasonal, although I don't have any hard rules about it. My goal in collecting was to have a wardrobe of jade, because unlike any other stone or jewelry, I want to wear it all the time! Jade (especially in the U.S.) is a unique and intensely personal gemstone.
From my own opinion I wear what color I'm drawn to more then anything I follow my gut feeling 🤓I hope this helps
You're right Jade is an intensely personal stone. It has a special energy. I think the notion that it is "alive" has to do with this.
I think black would be more of a winter bangle but white is year round.
I also find all colours of Jade can have a feminine or masculine energy but lavender is always feminine to me.

This is a set my grandmother had made back in the 90's sometime I believe. It was made with the intent to hand down to me, hence it has my birthstone of ruby as well. She did one for each of her three granddaughters. I wore the set on my wedding day, but haven't had cause to wear it since so mostly it sits in the safe deposit box.

Buzzytoes how nice of your grandma to do this! I do see Jade with diamonds but can't say I see diamonds and rubies surrounding lavender Jade very often. It's a great design. Did her other granddaughters receive gifts of Jade as well?
It's too special to sit in a deposit box - you should wear it 😊
This is what I have been wearing most days. Left and right wrist. Picture was taken during lunch today. It was a sunny but cool day and we spent most of it outside so I had my boots on

I love your one with Tiffany bracelet looks amazing on u love the color too [emoji8]
Not really sure why she picked the lavender Jade. She did black Onyx and something for my cousin, and something with Pearl for my sister. She had a lot of jewelry that she passed down and her tastes were widely varied. Once she had granddaughters I think she started to purchase things specifically with our birthstones to pass down.
Thank you Lots Love- this one I've grown to love more recently. I used to think it was a bit too flat (not enough of a dome) but now I appreciate that it's is flatter and not so bulky. A different look but a nice one. Also thought it wasn't pink enough but now I love that it is a blue/ grey lavender. 😍
Well your set is certainly beautiful and I'm sure the others were too. I only have boys so I do hope to someday have a granddaughter to pass things on to - and daughter in laws of course
Me too love thinner not so bulky like u said well it's beautiful against your skin [emoji179][emoji179]
This looks really great on you. My YS actually looks very similar to this since she has very little "snow" bits on her. Was there a significant difference in price between the YS and the Galaxy stone?
Oohh... this one looks like she has really nice saturation of color. Fingers crossed for you!
I live in Hawaii, so the seasons are "mostly sunny & hot" or "kinda rainy sometimes and hot". lol Like most folk here, I get excited when the temp dips into the low 70s. I only pic my jade based on how I feel and what calls to me to balance how I feel.

Great bangles. I love the low dome. That's very similar to what I'd want for my dream black.
Sooo gorgeous! Such fine grain and even coloring. It looks great paired with diamonds and rubies. You absolutely should wear it out more often.
