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 it, DG! I think the color will look great with denim and the shaping and proportion are very nice.

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 :) View attachment 3428512
It's really beautiful, 2boys_jademommy! Just yummy looking! I like the soft color transitions a lot.

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.

Bernie, elegant pearls - love the contrast with the jade!

2boys, wowza! I think the bangle is beautiful with the soft shade of brown color and shape....depth looks substantial too. It is certainly coming along very well!

Uli, nice stack! Great texture with the Lapislazuli and carving of the nephrite...you have so many yummy bangles!

Crosso, thank you, will see how the final turns out...drum roll....:p
 
Today wearing ******* today along with the other three on the left wrist. First picture indoors, natural lighting. Second shows how she compares in bright outdoor light...interesting how lavender color can dramatically change depending on setting.

I love this! The pinkish colour is so beautiful.

It's strange how lavender jade always look so different under different lighting.
 
Wow .. I really can't catch up with this thread .

Thanks for all the Howdy(s) Jade sistas :)

Piosavsfan - your black nephrite us very lovely and shiny . The wide cuff style gives it a modern vibe . Do you find it comfy ? The vivid lavender is yummy ! What shape are u intending to get Allan to cut the Jade in .

And LOTSLOVE

. You really have impeccable taste . Those floating flower jade bangles are TO DIE FOR!!!! I hope you find your size and get it like immediately ! These are incredibly rare . I m not sure how much your seller quote u but in Singapore I would have to SELL my house or maybe an arm or Kidney before I can ever afford that !! I hope you make your mind fast and find your size too , it's so amazingly Rare and Beautiful ! Can't wait to see your new goodies !

And Junkenpo and Silver mom or for you ladies that enjoy beads . I walk past a jewelry shop and saw this lovely pearls inter strung with jadeite or nephrite beads and thought of your lovely green nephrite beads . Maybe u ladies can do a mod shot together , a nice string of nephrite fresh green beads look so lovely over the décolletage ;)

Hi! The chunky bangle is very comfortable.

Allan got back to me and is able to make a square bangle out of the stone I want. I'm so excited and nervous!
 
Thank you Crosso and DG for your comments :)
Pio - Have you decided which stone to use for your bangle?
I love your bangle so far!

I decided on this one. Allan said it is lighter in color than the other stones but I'm just really drawn to it. I doubt the bangle will be as bright as it looks in the picture but something close to that lavender color would be nice. He can also make it square which is great. I hope I love it!
