No I always feel like the shop owners may not appreciate me taking pics.....I suppose I could always ask next time if they mind me taking a pic of their bangles.
Good idea!You could tell them that you want to show a picture of the bangle to your husband.....

LOL maybe I will try that sometime Uli
my green and lavender jade bangle just came in
She's lovely Fan! She also makes a fantastic stack with your favorite bangle.
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.
I have given up the search and if he shows up then it's meant to be.
That is an interesting story. I'd love to know if he ever did try to get a hold of you or if the ring is actually gold. It would be a shame if his story held true and his wife lost half her wedding ring. Still, it was nice of you to help them out.
My vintage bangle just arrived and it's lovely but I am still stumped as to what it is. I've ruled out jadeite after doing the SD test, so it's likely nephrite or serpentine. I'm leaning towards nephrite because I've seen some nephrite pieces with similar dendritic patterns. The bangle is also nicely polished. It has more lustre than my jadeite bangle which has a bit of orange peel.
I love it!! I would sway towards thinking it Nephrite (Hetian)
I've been looking for one similar myself. It's a beauty!
Love your stack [emoji257] [emoji257]
It looks fantastic Fan! It matches your carved bangle nicely.

thank you for the compliments, ladies
After searching my house and office at work, look who showed up! Strangely I was at work and five minutes before leaving I stood up and the bracelet fell onto the floor. I had gotten off and on that chair for two days so I was shocked to see him sitting there smiling at me.
I feel so relieved to have him back. Nothing expensive, (I only paid $1.00 for him), but I like having him with me.

I like the coloring on it, very soothing.

yay! He is cute. it is so nice to find things. I lost a favorite earring a couple years ago. I was convinced I had lost it outdoors. It was a style Tiffany had discontinued, so my SA suggested to make the remaining earring into a pendant, so I did. I had the darndest time finding a new pair I liked equally, so I wound up rebuying the same pair on e.bay. A few months after that, I found the lost earring at the bottom of my DH's junk bowl. I couldn't believe after all that trouble it had been in the house the whole time!
