Very pretty RedPeony! I love the darker green nephrite pieces, just gorgeous [emoji4]
Hi jadies!
So many pages to read! Sorry to see about the fake websites and certificates.... so hard to know sometimes.
Love all the nephrite and new jade!
The lavender Hello Kitty full body is my fave piece. I like Sanrio, not particularly HK, but I like Cinnamoroll and Gudetama. If anyone ever sees a jade Gudetama, PM me. lol
Is that a misubi?? In high school, hello kitty wasn't my favorite either among the Sanrio. I liked my melody and pekkle, as well as morning glory characters. But there's a Sanrio store near me with interesting dolls like the Kimono one I showed you guys (there's a big bow like how it's tied in real life and little Japanese geta shoes ha). Here's the rest of my daughter's Hello Kitty gang.
If anyone is interested in the remaining black hello kitty jadeite pendant, let me know and I can PM you the seller's email. Someone may already be interested so act quick if you want it!
The Hello Kitty face turned out to be much more expensive than I thought with 1.5 carats of pink diamonds! Decked out Kitty!

The Hello Kitty pendant is cuteness overload! Your daughter would love it and yes in the meantime, you can wear it
The peoony ring is gorgeous. So pretty.
Wow, love all the Hello Kitty jewelry here, both jade and sparkly ones. I once saw a car that was HK customised bumper to bumper. It had Hello Kitty interior walls and a pink leather dashboard. It was amazing.
So I bought the Etsy bangle I was asking for thoughts about. I decided that I was in love with it and the seller was nice and gave me 10% off. I'll do the specific gravity test when it arrives.
RedPeony, love the nephrite pairs! I know you didn't purchase them together (one is by Allan Spehar right?) but I wanted to ask you ladies, do your bangles fit different over each hand and what do you do about it, size up for interchangeability or buy specifically for left and right wear?
My bangle is a 57mm on my left wrist but it doesn't go on my right (it probably could with soap and maybe some bruising but I don't really want the hassle). The new one I just bought is a 60mm and I plan to wear that on my right.

It would depend on your style....for me personally I would go for the peony ring because it can be worn everyday and with jeans and also dressier clothing too. It would look lovely with a pretty summer dress. The lavender and diamond ring to me is for dress up only so it really depends on your style and how much wear you want out of it.
I think the peony is more gorgeous but as a carving I wonder if the edges will be prone to chipping? I know jade is quite tough but I've also had gemstone rings chip before from too much knocking around.
Yes I can see the dark green hue in these pics. Both look great! To me the slimmer one looks a dressier and the wider nephrite looks more casual. Both are chic like you Red
Wow too cute all the Hello Kitty pieces!
The Peony ring is more unique one of a kind. The cab ring is a timeless classic. Unless the cab is your ultimate dream cab, I'd say go for the Peony ring now and later the cab ring or one like it can be a gift for 'fill in the blank' occasion.
My favorite go to's are my dark nephrite bangles. I happen to have one stuck on my wrist for days now! It's one of my smaller ones and because of a small but deep scrape on the side of my thumb, it was too painful to try to take it off and didn't want to make the scrape worse! It's finally nearly healed and I'll finally be able to swap bangles daily again!
Yours look great on you!
Is the pendant small? Maybe layer it with other HK pendants?
Meant to tell you that your earlier post of nephrite and pearls is gorgeous! I love how the pearls are bezel set in the silver metal. I was obsessed with pearls, too, before jade.

Me too! I loved pearls - still do but yes jade has taken over. Hope your cut heals quick
Thank you for the sweet well wishes! Good luck with Allan! He's been so elusive that I've been tempted to buy earrings or a bead from his Etsy shop just to finally have a jade piece created by him!Me too! I loved pearls - still do but yes jade has taken over. Hope your cut heals quick
