Cyanide Rose: I was watching those listings with the jade necklaces.. so glad it went to a pf'r! I also love those loose beads, especially the lavender at lower left.

LOVE !!!



I've come to absolutely love the big chunky styles of ring over the past few years, before that i'd not really had much experience with them and when the first arrived I found it quite clumsy and awkward - now though I like to wear them if i'm in a chunky-boho-ultra casual mood and look and stack the bracelets and bangles to balance the look.



This 'look' I have is worn on only the one hand and wrist - always the left !

My watch and a classic/traditional dress ring on the right hand and arm.

This is my signature look :p

Thanks so much JKP, I couldn't believe I won them. I lose way more than I win, well that's how I feel but my DH emphatically disagrees with me [emoji6]

I wanted to make this style bracelet with the little lavender beads you like but I haven't found any how to's of this particular tying style. If any Jadies have an idea of what it is please share [emoji4]

Thank you Millicat, the look you describe sounds amazing. You will have to share some photos with us. I never know if I'm over doing it when it comes to jewelry. I see ladies wearing quite a few pieces and I just love the look but I don't know if I could pull it off. I saw a lady the other day wearing a bicycle chain as a bracelet. It looked great with everything else she was wearing and she knew she looked awesome too. I know it would be too much for me but she rocked it [emoji5]️ImageUploadedByPurseForum1463548903.246006.jpg

I was hoping the Jadies here could help me. I'm looking for a high quality green Jade bead for this ring. It's about a 6MM Pearl in it already but I think it would much better with a Jade bead in it. It's been difficult to find a bead that isn't pre-drilled. If you have any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance [emoji4]ImageUploadedByPurseForum1463549609.038593.jpg

Ultimate Jadeite, our trusted eBay and Etsy seller, is based in Singapore. They don't have an actual store but you may set up an appointment to meet with them. I contacted them thru Etsy/eBay before but unfortunately did not have time to set up a meeting during my short visit.

One of our Jade Ladies bought a lovely lavender bangle from Yok Dee in Chinatown. I was able to visit one of the jewelry stores at Marina Bay Sands and got a pleasant viewing of imperial green jade (with prices to match though).

Another of our Jade Ladies ordered from Choo Yi Lin. Their jade pieces are nontraditional, mixing jade with semiprecious stone and metal (both gold and gold plated sterling silver is my understanding). Their retail store locations are listed on their website. It is also possible to arrange a meeting at your location of choice (hotel/office).

I hope our Singapore based Jade Ladies will chime in as I recall a mention of a Singapore Jade/Gem Testing Center where one may have their pieces tested. If I remember right, it is possible to have just a verbal confirmation of the jade quality (Grade A or otherwise) immediately or one may get a certificate in which case there is a one week waiting period.

Why don't you try 9SJW. They custom make their beads. You can ask them not to drill.

Here is an example of a custom bead that I had them make for me. I then had it set as a pendant. I Love their work and very reasonable too.

That's is TDF Silver Mom [emoji7] What is 9SJW? I'm certain they can help me after seeing that gorgeous pendant of yours [emoji4]

Go to etsy.com and type in 9SJW in the search bar. They custom make everything. They made me my heart pendant and my jade bowl. It is siberian nephrite. Just tell them that the lady that they made the heart pendant and ball pendant recommended them to you. Tell them that you would like a very similar color (if that is what you would like).
