DG great pics - Seasons and your other two bangles look lovely in Paris😉 You have a gorgeous smile:)
My kids will be somewhat busy this summer. We have three weeks total vacation and they will do three weeks of day camp. The rest of the time they will go to their grandparents during the day. Swimming lessons on the weekend but wow your son swims 2 hours a day?!?!
 
Uli, your stack is very chic! Enjoy looking at all your nephrites in your collection and those pendant carvings are so unique too! I have a few pendants but never find myself grabbing for them. I think I need to put them on a chain as I find the cord a bit of a hassle.

CR, I am totally enjoying the last few days before the end of school. Glad you are keeping the kids busy as will I with them doing sports over the entire summer. My DD will be doing 3 types of dance lessons and my DS does year round swimming (2-2.5 hrs/day). Gotta keep them busy!!!

Cross, lovely bangles and doughnut! I really like how the lavender is mirrored with your bead bumper and the pendant looks well on your skin tone.
Thanks for the comps on Paris and my stack. Going with my DH I tried to do as much shopping as possible as it isn't his favorite thing by far. Managed to look at some fashion houses (Hermes flagship store along with Chanel and smaller French boutiques) and if you like pastries, it is pastry heaven! I did get my share, DAILY, of Parisian sweets. Good thing we were walking 7-13 miles/day to burn them off. Here are some more photos for you!
thanks for the beautiful pics, designergoods. u look lovely :smile1::hugs:

Hello fellow jade lovers!

This is my very first post to the forum. I have browsed through several of your discussions prior to registering. I am excited to interact with others who also share a fondness of jade.

Please bear with me as I am new and learn how the forum works. :smile1:
 
Hello Lian! Welcome!!
Please show us your jades.... ;)

Thank you for the welcome!

I have enjoyed seeing many of the beautiful jade pieces you all have shared from your collections. It's just recently that I decided to start my own jade collection, and so far I have purchased and received one beaded jadeite necklace on eBay that came with a GIA report certifying that the jadeite is neither dyed nor polymer impregnated. The seller was even so kind to gift me a white jadeite Happy Buddha pendant. I will share photos of the necklace and Buddha piece in another post.

I am in the process of acquiring my very first jadeite bangle that I selected from the Mason-Kay Online Showroom. In my research on jade, I learned that Mason-Kay is the only retail jewelry company in the US that has the special equipment to detect dyes and polymers in treated jade, and all the jade they offer is guaranteed to be Type A. They allowed me to do a payment plan on the bangle I wanted, and it will be paid off on the 1st of July, so I should have it (hopefully) by my birthday, which is on the 9th!

The first photo of my bangle is the one that was displayed within their Online Showroom. I requested additional pics, and so the second is one of a few cell phone shots that were taken of the bangle and text to me. I can hardly wait to have it in my possession.
