I think it looks great! I like bluish green Jade and it fits you nicely. I know what what you mean about slightly bigger bangles - much easier to put on and take off.
Good Morning Jadies! I just received this bangle earlier in the week. It looks a lot different in person than the photos from the seller. I haven't seen one this color and it didn't glow with uv light. What do you think? I really like it and it was a welcomed surprise, so just trying to get your thoughts on it [emoji5]️ Thank you so much in advance View attachment 3360807
I wanted to add that the specific gravity tested as jadeite
Pretty, CR, congrats!! Looks like a great fit, too! Is it hard to get on/off?

Blue Ridge has some lavender in there tooBoth bangles look more blue in the top pic and softer / more muted and greener in the second pic. Do you tend to wear them as a set?
hi hi jadies!
loving the bangle shots!
I came to share more beads. :greengrin:
Black beads!
Both were sold as jade, but the larger endless with the faded gold tone didn't meet specific gravity for nephrite or jadeite, and I haven't tested the smaller beads with the 14k clasp yet.
The larger not-jade necklace is way blacker when compared side to side. It's a visible color difference that doesn't come across well in photos. I think I do have to clean the smaller necklace. No translucency on the smaller beads when I bring them close to my LED light. I also have not checked UV yet. I'll follow up with the results later.
I love how pretty the clasp is.
edited to add: small beads with the clasp meet specific gravity for nephrite.

What kind of UV light do you have and where did you buy it? Does it have both short wave and long wave? I'd like to get one, but am not sure what to look for.

Thsnks for thr comps VR, 2 boys and CD! I seldom where any bangles together without a bumper because I find the clinking distracting and am afraid of damage, but I do like the look of those two together.
