The JADE thread!

Designer, what a wonderful blue!!!! GORGEOUS!!!!

C Rose, thanks!! I really like the charoite bangle and although I am actually on a ban I couldn´t resist to get it. Being 50 soon is a good excuse to get one more thing for the birthday... And the size AND the prize were good too....

I like the color and carving on these!


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?



Hi bernie! Nice to see you in this thread!



The color on this is so interesting. can't wait to see the finished product!

I love both of them Udalrike [emoji173]️

Thanks so much JKP[emoji4]

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.

And more shots of my nephrite beads... Silver Mom's beads made me go haul mine out again. I love my yukon snow bangle, but I actually think these beads are better quality. I love how bright the green gets when light shines through it.

These beads are gorgeous JKP! Wonderful match but I really love the nephrite beads [emoji4]

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 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?

I love the grain pattern on it. Colour is great too. I think it's going to be lovely once it is all polished up

Thank you Uli, CR and 2boys for your comments. A couple of my other friends have the same type of stone made in a bangle and one is dark and the other is lighter....no two are alike so I am very happy to have some light and dark mixed together. Will see how the final look turns out

Yes no two are alike which makes it unique and special. Yours seem to have a bluish charcoal cast to it right?
With the Siberian nephrite I've seen vastly different variations and combinations of white, cream, caramel and dark brown. Allan has also sent me a pic of mine and like your picture it is prior to sanding and polishing. Will post later tonight or tomorrow

You are so right...no two are alike which makes each one of them that more special! Like you, I have seen a wide range of mixed colors for Siberian white bangles. I really do think yours will be very special and beautiful. I cant wait to see the updated picture of yours. I am not certain of the charcoal/blue cast on mine...will know more when it is polished....btw, I think it is so cool that you, pio and me are having this all done at the same time so we can share and compare

Bernie, lovely pearls and jade! Thanks for the pictures! I pmed you.

 

[2boys_jademommy]

Hi Jadies, here is the pic Allan sent me. Just like DG's he still needs to do the final shaping, sanding and polishing. Overall I am quite happy with the look. The proportions are perfect and I hope the fit will be too. As for colour, I also love it but as I mentioned previously about the Siberian white nephrite having so many variations as white, cream, light and dark brown I was hoping / imagining that mine would have more white in it and perhaps more contrast. I did see a Siberian white on the jadedivers facebook page which had the caramel brown colours like mine and I really like it so I am still very happy with it. In fact in time I may even prefer this as. I think sometimes with online orders and especially custom orders you never truly know what to get. I am looking forward to the final finished bangle

 

[udalrike]

WOW!!! 2 boys, you are very lucky to get this wonderful bangle!!!!! CONGRATS!!! I like the colours VERY much!!
