I have a dark nephrite bangle of Wyoming Jade from Allan and also some gorgeous fan shaped olive Wyoming Jade earrings with a white crust, I'm very happy with them. It's sad if he's not making anymore jewellery but I suppose it's hard to keep up a hobby business if you haven't time!

I remember your Wyoming bangle - it is similar to the Edwards Black right? It's a classic beauty. I think it sounds like he is still making jewllery but very infrequently. Maybe I'll send one more email today. His last email said he was going to check the nephrite he has left for me but it's been over a week now.

The two are quite similar but Allan's bangle has a finer grain and higher shine.

The olive Wyoming Jade earrings, which are hard to photograph because of the high reflectiveness and the indoor lighting.

Here is a modelling shot of the earrings in daylight.

Your Wyoming jade earrings look vastly different under different lighting. Very cool design and i love your black nephrite bangles. Your bangle from Allan looks similar in proportions to the one I had made from JoJo - the one in my avatar. I wear it on my right wrist most days.
I also love your flecked bangles. The green flecked bangle has a bit of lavender and blue in it too. So pretty! Thanks for sharing your unique and lovely jewellery Red

Thanks, 2boys! Believe it or not I actually went off my jade at one point and thought about selling most of my collection. I'm glad I didn't because now I'm back into jade...!

The earrings were an unusual purchase for me as I don't usually wear such large earrings, but they were just too beautiful. As they are quite thin the jade is quite light and translucent compared to the bangle, even though they are of the same stone.

I like your jojo bangle a lot, this shape is modern and traditional at the same time and very comfortable!!

I'm glad you didn't sell and that you are back on the jade train :) You have a gorgeous collection :smile1:
Thank you for the comp and I agree that shape - slimmer d is quite modern especially with the black. Mine is also a very dark green under the sun.

Jadies, in case you are interested just spoke to Allan and he said he recently acquired a large boulder of Edwards Black. It is very difficult to get it so he is quite happy. If you are interested now would be a good time to contact him to reserve.

hello Silvermom! I heard back from Allan toda. He is still checking for me and will hopefully email me again this weekend. Man he must be really really busy!
The Edwards black is spectacular and I would have wanted one but now that I have a black nephrite I want a white or lighter coloured one.
Very good news though for the Jadies here looking for a beautiful black bangle or pendant :p

Oh wow are these from Allan too? I love them both! Now is it just the lighting or is Jade4Me's bangle a wee bit darker than yours? I love the bright green and the little black dots. Always reminds me of kiwi - hence the adorable names :p
