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!

Got it! Fatty is now Pilar, "pillar of strength", because it is so thick and strong and also a Spanish name like it's 'sister' bangle, Alba.

Uli, Ha I agree :loveeyes:...I also hear those whispering voices in my head saying "buy me" when I see a pretty jade...or pastry!
That red dragon bangle is so cool! The fiery red stones along the scales are great details along with the wrap around tail!
Great amber beads used as a buffer...like the chubby roundness of them

Crosso, perfect name you decided on your new bangle. Glad to know you used Whisper on another pretty bangle

Thanks for sharing the article JKP! Let us know if you decide to get your beads restrung. I can only imagine how long that would take but better secure than have them all fall off! ...for buttons I apply a drop of nail polish to secure the knot. I wonder if it would work for knots between jade as well?

I definitely need to restring some of my necklaces. I'm actually afraid to wear the triple string necklace with the tiny beads because I have no idea how sturdy it is. I've worn it out a couple times, but now I have anxiety.. can you imagine trying chase down all those tiny beads? The color is semi-patterned without being too matchy. I can't even imagine the patience needed to restring it. Thanks for the rec CR!

JKP, Alice can restring for you also. You should call her and ask how much it would be.

Your welcome JKP[emoji4]

Silver Mom, thank you so much for mentioning Alice. I was trying to think of another source. It definitely helps to have options incase one is unavailable or it can't be done in you time range [emoji5]

Crosso, I love your new bargain bangle and she for sure looks jadeite. Your bangle Whisper must be from the same seller (Bestitems4you I think was the name of my seller who I bought bangles from when he first started out) because yours looks identical to one I parted with. Hint of lavender with green, but very faint. Mine was too big on me.
JKP- love the family shots and thanks for posting that great article.
Uli, your dragon collection is lovely and you suit amber so well.
Fan, it's nice to see you continuing to wear you favorite thick bangle. :)
Designergoods, your friend was so sweet to send you those and that dragon pendant is to die for!
Ixora - your leaf pendant is gorgeous and ever so icy! I hope you can get your beads stranded so as they don't clink together. I would be worried to and am quite fussy myself.

And for funsies... here's an article I found from 2002. First paragraph talks about jade prices and demand going up. I know some on this thread have purchased from Jade by Nikolai, who is Hawaii based.

Hi Junkenpo! Great article! I've bookmarked it under my "Info About Jade" folder. I've read in another article that jade has been steadily increasing in value by 20-30% each year since 2007 - that is huge! How I wish I started my jade collection years ago. By the way, JKP, your jade collection is so lovely and inspiring! Before I joined the forum and was reading through the jade threads to learn more about jade, somehow I was able to see your photos without being a member, and I would be in awe of your pieces, especially your bangles!
