Speaking of the plaque bracelet, I found another one I like for the cute bat carving, although it doesn't have the sweet pinky lavender coloring of the qilin one. Not sure what I'll do with this one yet.

What did you do with others? I've seen some strung at the ends for a bracelet.
Ditto!
Ladies, I think my heart is with the diamond cabochon. I was really caught on the uniqueness of the piece and peonies are my favorite flower, but I just feel like it might be a little too large. I posted it also on the main jewelry site, and some said they thought it looked like a fashion piece (i.e. made of inexpensive materials). That being said, there is a lot of love for this ring. I think someone in this jade family should get it! It is $750 wholesale, and maybe can be a negotiated a little more. PM me for seller's email, if interested!
I also have a question out to the seller whether the setting is something that is easy to do, because if so, maybe I can pick my own cabochon when they are next in NY, which is probably July.
Hope you ladies find your lost pieces! 
A couple years ago, I was walking home at night in the winter and a man approached me. He said that his car broke down, and his wife was with their baby, and he needed cab money to an ATM. In the end I gave him cab money (maybe $30). He had given me what was supposedly his wife's wedding band as collateral (in hind sight, I should have asked for his phone), and he would call me back to pay me back and to return the ring. I never did hear from him and tried to call the number he gave me. It was probably a fake story, but it wasn't a lot of money, and I felt ok of losing it if the story were real. It was a gold looking band with a baguette on either side, the kind that is designed to fit under an engagement ring. I don't see any kt mark to signfy it's gold and never bothered to get it tested. I still wonder sometimes if somehow he got my number wrong and his wife really lost her wedding band.

Great idea what categories you think would be good idea

These look interesting to diversify a collection without breaking the bank. Not carved out of a stone though.

Oh it could be anything -- bangles, earrings, rings, pendants, beads. And subcategories like nephrite, colours of jadeite, etc.
It's really open to interpretation I think!

It looks fantastic Fan! It matches your carved bangle nicely.
I recently saw a beautiful jadeite bangle that is lavender on one side and a sage green with darker bits on the other. It was tempting but it was a wee big on me and I didn't like the feeling of it. I suppose I could get used to a bigger size but she wanted $1500.00 Cdn which is about $1200.00 USD and I didn't think it worth it when I had concerns about the sizing.
