The JADE thread!

Poisavsfan, that is really cute. I love the color [emoji4]

Silver Mom, thank you so much. I'm glad you shared that with me. It was really scary and I was in pain for several hours after I took it off. I was really surprised at at how much it affected me. I will not wear anymore treated bangles. It's just not worth it. Thanks again Silver Mom [emoji5]️

You are welcome. I hate to see a sister jadie in pain. You are right, it is not worth it.

Hi Jadies!

I wanted to ask a question. I really love carved bangles but I'm wondering if anyone has a carved bangle in nephrite? I don't think I've seen one. I love the intricate details of carved bangles and I am looking to purchase one but I really want one in nephrite. TIA [emoji4]

Here are my carved dragon and pearl nephrite bangles! I adore them!

 

[RedPeony]

I remember that one of you likes bats but can't recall who. Look at this cutie: http://www.yokdeejadeite.com/products/redbat

It's Tea who adores bats, and crosso too!

Hi Cyanide Rose I've seen carved nephrite - 3Jade like JKP mentioned has them and Jade Peony as well. They can do the faceted bangles that some of the Jadies here have.

Thanks JKP - now the wait is on for my bangle
The lighting is very flattering to your carved bangle. Love how the black is soft and there are greens and greys in there. The beads add pops of colour 😊

Silver Mom, you are absolutely right. I wonder how they can get away with selling something that has the potential to be really dangerous. Well... Lesson learned, that's for sure [emoji4]

RedPeony, they are gorgeous. I love the dragon Pearl bangles. They look so refined and regal [emoji5]️

2B_JM, thank you, I really appreciate all the help. I had totally forgotten about RedPeony's lovelies [emoji1]

Thanks so much Jadies [emoji4] Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. Happy Mother's Day Jadies! [emoji3]

I wish but nope, just admired their designs from afar. My lifestyle is really casual right now so no point in having intricate fine jewelry. A couple of tough knockaround bangles is good enough for me!

I love your new princess bangle and I would guess it's nephrite from its soft creamy look!

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.

I love all your bangles! In your recent posts I favor your EB, square nephrite, and your black & green jadeite bangles!

Guess what Jadies I'm in the process of finalizing my custom bangle from Allan! I'm so excited. I will be getting a Siberian white bangle (like the one Claire has with her husband). The stone looks really beautiful. There are variations and patterns within the stone and so I don't know exactly how it would turn out. I'm sure it will be very nice as I have seen a lot of the pieces he made for the Jadies here.
Allan is so busy and I am not in any rush so I am guessing it will be a couple of months at least before I get the bangle. I am going for a wider bangle this time 18 mm.

Yay so happy for you!!!

Looking forward to your stacks with this new one, Uli!

Cyanide Rose, I was also going to suggest looking at 3jade's carved nephrite bangles! Is it too late to get a refund for the treated bangle that gave you a bad reaction?

Still loving my green nephrite! Coming home from the gym, she looked so pretty with the skies overcast, I had to snap a picture at the light.

I'm so excited for you 2Boys!! Your patience will pay off as Allan's jade is amazing!! Can't wait for you to show modelling shots!

 

[teagansmum]

Yep, Red is right. Crosso and I have a thing for cute bats. I just bought a bat bracelet a few minutes ago much like Crosso's but green and white. Can't resist a bat. The pendant posted on the forum is adorable, but I think his ear is chipped, or it could just be the light.

Red, those dragon bangles are to die for!!

Beadweaver, your nephrite bangle is so beautiful. I never knew how smooth and lusterous Hetian was until Jade4Me got me into Hetian. Every time the light changes so does the coloring. Love it!

Thanks Tea and Jade4Me and all the Jadies. Can't wait to be part of the 'Allan custom bangle club" Will definitely post pics!

WOW. Just when I generalize I like green jadeite more than green nephrite I am seeing sooooo many breathtaking pieces of green nephrite lol!

Gorgeous bangle, I can see why you love it so much. It truly looks amazing on you [emoji4] I can't tell you how many times I glance at my bangle while driving lol. Especially at stop lights [emoji5]️

I do that too! Only at red lights though. Also look at my bangles many times throughout the day at work in particular. This is totally why I love bangles and rings - I can see them and admire them. With earrings and pendants I have to be looking in a mirror.

This is so true! I have a Devon Page McCleary Millennium Orb Pendant that I put on a Jade beaded bracelet because I love it so much. My DH had a fit and made me take it off lol. I love so many pendants I have but you just don't get to wear them all.

I know this older lady that collects diamond solitaire rings. She has like 15 or 20 on a necklace, she wears them as pendants. Every time I see her I cringe because she has some really nice vintage diamond rings on there and quite a few are over 6mm. I cringe because diamonds chip other diamonds and there probably quite a few that are useless now.

It drives me insane lol. The receptionist at my Drs office wears rings on all fingers and I finally told her that they can chip each other and diamonds chip sapphires, so I would be careful. She had no idea. I louped a couple and boy were they bad. She doesn't do it anymore but it's too late for quite a few of them because recutting is too expensive for smaller stones and she would lose quite a bit of volume.

Ok done rambling[emoji6] Have a great weekend Jadies!!!
