Here all the stones. The one I posted by itself is my favorite in terms of color because it is so vivid. I asked him if the square will fit but haven't heard back yet. I really want a square but the color is more important to me.

I agree that the first stone you posted looks best and I would also agree that the colour is more important than having a square shape but that is only my opinion. The middle stone is quite nice too so that would be my second choice. If you really want a square bangle perhaps go for the middle stone. Otherwise you can go with the original. Better yet if Allan replies back to say he can make it a square:)

These are the two bangles I like. The one with the flowers and fish? is lavender, white and mint green. I love it but it's really big, so I have to wear it on my left wrist and it's pretty old.
... What do you Jadies think? I have a family reunion picnic to go to tomorrow but I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for letting me share [emoji5]

I like the color and carving on these!

Here is another example of icy jade. This is not as fine grained as the princess cut one. It is not easy to capture on camera, but there are some glassy, transparent spots where u can see through the jade. It's just as the name described, looks like glass

Unusually for me, I like this one better than the princess. I think the large grains actually look really great on this width. What's an approximate price for a bangle this now, do you know?

Also... I found a necklace to match my bracelet! So now I have the bracelet, this choker length necklace, and the long, tiny multi-strand necklace. I just have to find an mid-length necklace like the one I gifted to my MIL.

Love this set JKP. I like how the beads are spaced apart rather than close together. And so many colours! Hope you find a mid length necklace to add to your set.

wow, this thread moves quickly...

CR, hope you had a great family reunion! Your older carved bangles are simply sweet... The newest one you have coming is amazing in color and carving. Cant wait to see how it looks on you!

BnG, thank you! Nice to see you around the thread again and appreciate the explanations...love the bangles you shared!

bernie, great faceted bangle!

Pio, fabulous new nephrite bangle...great width and fit! Thanks for showing us the boulder options from Allan. I may be standing on my own but I like the first option best due to the intense color and grain, however they are all pretty and which ever you choose will be a gem!

Uli, your horse pendant is lovely and I really can see the two tone color quite well. I am glad to hear your keeping it!

JKP, fabulous colored beads and so cool you have a match. I can see the bead size slightly smaller on the bracelet...looks like they were all from the same boulder. Your green beads are strikingly beautiful too!

LL, those bangles are stunning with superb quality. Really wish I could have one :love: Its so nice we can all share our jade dreams and collection here...what a great support group!

Wanted to share that I heard from Allan this past weekend too! Here is my bangle in pre-finished form. It is wet in the picture and he will be working on final shaping and hand sanding this week. Then polish and completion...
Overall, I do like it so far however I thought it would be darker in color with less grain...what do you jadies think?

Where/who did you get these from. They are gorgeous. Are they siberian or yukon snow?

Honestly, I have no idea of their origin but if I had to guess I'd say they are probably siberian. I purchased them last year from an ebay seller I stumbled across and took a chance on (momsmoney5). She had no other jade for sale and looked like she mostly resells clothing. The listing said the seller was told the bracelet was from Gump's, though there are no Gump's markings, only the 14k stamp. The quality & size of the beads and the sturdiness of the gold wire makes me think it's a possibility, though that could be wishful thinking. I'm super happy with it.

Thanks! I've been kind of a sucker for listings of bracelets with this wire wrapping instead of knotting for beads, and this is the first necklace I've managed to snag in this style. I really need to stop looking, but I'm too addicted! lol

I think it looks cool and the black dots in the spinach green reminds me of a darker version of kiwi. Is it nephrite? It looks somewhat similar to the stone Allan had used to make many lovely bangles only darker. The straight edges are modern. I like it

Thanks so much Udalrike! I found them all on eBay [emoji5]

That bangle is beautiful Udalrike! I love how the purple almost a kinda creamy look about it! I saw ring on eBay the other day with that stone as well. It's a very uniquely beautiful gem!
