Hi Red, I'm sorry to hear about your broken bangle. Interesting that your friend said to place it back in the soil. Are you going to do that?

I think I am, even though it is still connected the chime is completely gone. I had also been told that the protective properties of the bangle are gone.

You still have your beautiful bangle in your avatar, Redkoi.....

Beauty shots! The purple color and texture are so cool and vibrant!

Sorry to hear what happened, my heart goes out to you.
...It makes me wonder if hinged bangles still have their protective properties because they are sliced. Would you at all consider maybe saving the pieces and perhaps making a pendant?

I have heard that too Red but it's really what you feel comfortable with.

Thank you ...Olympics have been so exciting to watch I had to add a bit of jade cheer!

....to add I watched the Chinese women's beach volleyball competing with their green jade pendants on

Really?!? I missed it! Will have to find it online. How cool is that! - as cool as when they added nephrite to the medals in the 2008 olympics in Beijing
Edited to add I just googled the images

I decided to let go of broken bangle. Do not feel comfortable using the broken pieces.
I am waring this one today. It is not as clean as the other but has a deep green vein. And two small deep red ones.

I don't blame you it's a personal choice. Not sure what I'd do probably the same as you.
This bangle is beautiful too. It looks to be a brighter green one one side and more muted on the other with the brown dot and slash of red. What personality!

This is me and my older daughter. I love that I found 2 with a red vein.
And yes the bangle I am wearing today is very unique. It has 2 veins of green of 2 different shades. 2 spots of red, a small patch of lavender and some yellow too.

Aww matching mother daughter bangles the red spots do add to the visual interest of the bangle and both have bright green dots too. Very nice
