And my nephrite earrings and set (clovers and ring are onyx)! These look black in most lower lighting conditions, but if you look close, they will look dark green. If you shine a light, mine will show green.

JKP lovely, lovely, lovely!
 
Oh! Such stunning black jades, especially your set, SilverMom! JKP I adore those spiral earrings especially. Just beautiful!

Here are my two black Jade bangles, one is an Australian nephrite, which has a strong green cast, and a vintage silver hinged jadeite, which is very black and completely opaque.
 
And here is my green jadeite. Which one do you prefer? My Jadeite or nephrite? They really have a different look.

Well I meant my statements as generalizations only. Sometimes green nephrite looks better than green jadeite but in general I like black and white nephrite and green jadeite 😊
In the case of your jewellery they are so beautiful. I will compare the bangles only. If I had to choose, I like this jadeite bangle even more than your squate nephrite. It's so watery and tranquil looking. 😊 Must add that the square nephrite Allan created for you is stunning too. Just saying that if I had to choose I'd give the edge to this Jadeite bangle of yours. How about you- which bangle wild you choose?

Your black and white bangles are tdf Crosso. Your white jadeite is truly white I believe is hard to find and your black bangle is tres chic 😉

Hi JKP! Love your balck nephrite set with your clover onyx and those squiggly earring are equally wonderful in black and green. But have to make a special mention on your jadeite pendant - it's beautiful! It looks so icy! Has it gotten more translucent with wear and time?

I have to choose Allan's bangle as my favorite. It is a hard choice but I like the shape and the color a teensy bit more. My husband prefers the Jadeite one which I got from Alice. I think in a way I like them both.
