The JADE thread!

[designergoods]

What a lovely thoughtful friend! You look amazing DG wearing your new pendant and gorgeous jade stack
BTW what was the "timeline" given to you for your custom bangle if you don't mind me asking. Mine is mid August

Not THAT'S a good friend!!! Jade AND chocolate! I like the shape of this pendant, it looks great on you and fills the neckline of your shirt perfectly. Very cool looking.

Thanks so much Designer! You look so Gorgy in your pictures.

Beautiful find crosso! It looks great on you. I [emoji173]️ the tone. I have a chunky bangle that weighs 96 grams too. I really like the look, nice and bold[emoji5]

Thank you so much DG[emoji4] your new pendant is gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen that color combination before. It's amazing and it looks great on you. That chocolate looks devine[emoji7]

DG, looking gorgeous! Both the person and the pendant

Crosso- regardless whether it's nephrite or jadeite...the chunky princess looks great!

Udalrike - I took out my ice pendant too after seeing all the beautiful ice pendants . But I seldom wear it as it's heavy and I haven't found a suitable chain.

Beautiful pendant and really like the white gold against the icy color...just like SM's pendant. Please share if you find a chain that works with a heavy pendant comfort wise.

Managed to get the new bangle on the left (pretty convinced it's jadeite, but have messaged seller to ask why they thought nephrite) and Alba on the right. Think this will be my summer combo for awhile, as they make me feel cooler just looking at them! Need a better name for the new one than Fatty, though, lol!

Is that your new one? Fits you perfectly and color almost looks bluish green with a hint of yellow?

Great summer combo Crosso! If I remember correctly NYC princess has a bangle that looks very similar to Fatty - lol yes maybe come up with a different name
Alba looks pretty as always. They go nicely together.

Yes, the one on the left is the very newest one, posted earlier today. It's a pretty uniform pale blue green with one small section that looks slightly yellowish pale green. Alba is pale blue green with a small section of lavender and slightly larger section of yellow. Princess bangles have really grown on me over time and become my preferred shape.

Ixora, Holy.... this is gorgeous!

2boys, sorry for forgetting to answer your question but no I haven't received a time line yet. He did just write to share that he has the material in hand now so hopefully it can be carved out soon.

Crosso, thanks for clarifying as the two look like sister bangles! I like the name Whisper for her as she has a underlying beauty and mystery to her since she was sold as nephrite but the silent vibe is coming across as jadeite. She is quietly revealing herself now that she is settled in her new home....
I am sure which ever name you decide will be perfect!

Hi everyone! It's been about three weeks since I joined the forum and introduced myself. I hope in the future to be able to better keep up with your posts. I've been quite busy with meeting requirements for a new job and being a mommy to a three-year-old and almost two-year-old. Hoping you all are well! I've managed to read through some of your posts and appreciate the photos of all your beautiful jade pieces and info about jade. I came across a few posts where some of you mentioned jade being able to "hurt" other jade, which leads me to ask about my beaded jade necklace. Since it is not knotted in between the beads, are the beads at risk of being scratched/cracked? It's my very first jade jewelry item I've acquired, and before it arrived, I was thinking it would be something I would wear often. But I love it so much and worry about damaging the beads that I've barely worn it since I received it. I've only went out of the house once with it. But I will say, I was amazed at how the beads looked more vibrant when I was wearing the necklace and even after taking off the necklace! Jade is certainly a very fascinating stone. I want to make sure I take good care of my jade as I'm going to be growing a collection for investment purposes as well as to pass on to my children and loved ones.

Hi Lian, have you posted a photo of your necklace? Is it really long? I think your necklace is safer then a bangle because your bangle can bump more things. Are you pretty handy? It's easy to restring it there are tutorials on YouTube. I will see if I could find one for you .

Hi Cyanide Rose! I posted a few pics of my necklace on Page 632. I'm such a perfectionist that if I were to have my necklace restrung and knotted, I would rather pay someone skilled to do it. Do you know how much someone would charge for that service?

I found it[emoji4] I think it would be fine but I like you would worry too! I would want to be cautious with such a beautiful piece. There is a lady that I know from another forum that does restring pearls and any other type beaded jewelry. I think it would be anywhere from $50 to $60. She is a sweetheart and has been doing it for years. I also know of a few businesses like Pearl paradise that does restringing of pearls and may do Jade if asked. Let me see if I can find the card of the lady that I know. I have purchased finding and string for her as well, she is pretty professional. One sec [emoji4]

Thank you! I appreciate the resource.

Thank you! I appreciate the resource.

Here's her card. She will ask you for a photo and give a quote from that. I would have used her services myself but I had so many pieces to restring.

Your quite welcome [emoji4] I hope you can see that if not I can go downstairs and take another photo, I just didn't want to wake up my DH [emoji5]
