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!
Hi Pio! I'm so happy Allan can make a square for you I think it is going to be beautiful. The colour is vibrant and the shape alone will make it unique. Very happy for you Pio - keep us posted on the progress:)
 
Thank you Bernie and BnG! I have to admit that I think lavenders are my favorite colors, especially in pink! This is a color that I can have multiples of in my collection and never tire of seeing them... Do any of you have a favorite color that you cant get enough of?

Pio, perfect choice and so happy you can have your desired shape carved out. It will look marvelous on you and one of a kind!
 
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?

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 ;)

Thank u Bernie chocolate for your wonderful support . Have to say I'm not into buying jade at this time. all I want to do is share pictures of them with everyone. I'm not into jade, I now get to see all the jade I wants .so for me that has satisfied my jade addition.

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

Wow so much activity!!

2 boys, love the creamy Siberian! I've thought about them before too. :smile:
Pio - that will be such a unique lavender! Is it Turkish jade?

You guys may remember I have a purple obsession. Not jade, but I have an ametrine coming!!

Thanks NYC Princess:) I remember you were considering a Siberian as well. Allan does have more of the stone.
Is that a floating bit of yellow in there? It's so pretty! Take mod shots when it arrives and I will of mine too!

Yes I think so!! It was the nicest of all the bangles and luckily my size. All others were much bigger.

Yes will definitely take mod shots and looking forward to yours too!! I am not supposed to be shopping after recently buying a new Chanel bag and wallet so I will just have to enjoy seeing yours!

Yes but Chanel bag and wallet falls under the accessories budget and this is jewellery

NYC, that is gorgeous! I love ametrine! I collected ametrine gemstones for a while there. It's a great piece [emoji4]

2Bs, that totally made me laugh out loud [emoji1]
 
Hi Jadies! I received my carved yin yang bangle yesterday and I'm a bit confused. I thought it was nephrite but I've tested it atleast 25 times and it's not coming up nephrite. It's 90 grams and specific gravity comes up as 27. So I keep getting 3.33333333. Can jadeite be this color? The other thing is the black spots look like oil slicks. It also has some emerald green spots here and there. It was really, really dirty and it took a while to clean. So I put a bit of oil on it last night. It looks so much better clean [emoji4] Has anyone seen a Jade like this? Is there jadeite in this color? I hope you Jadies do not mind me posting so many photos. Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a wonderful day Jadies [emoji5] IMG_1470328420.816784.jpgIMG_1470328343.910359.jpgIMG_1470328354.527606.jpgIMG_1470328370.262756.jpg
