Thank you, DG! I'm laughing at myself playing a musical number on my bangle - I found a thick glass knickknack and have been tapping the edge of the bracelet - it has a beautiful chime, and rang out so loudly it startled me. [emoji1]

Thank you so much for the advice. Now I'm eyeing some adorable chubby goldfish pendants... bangle pic attached! I think that's a ruyi that's kind of showing?

That's great that your bangle has a pretty chime. The colour is very sweet - you seem to be getting attached so maybe you should keep her:) I'm sure you will be getting more Jade pieces after this. I love pearls too :p
 
Hello!! I am in China, and I was wondering what kind of jade to buy here? Bangles or just a set.
Hi Divea - depends what you like... Personally I love bangles best but you have to buy what you like and the type of jewellery you like to wear. I bet you have a lot of stores selling Jade wherever you are in China...do show us if you do get something as you know we love talking about and sharing Jade pics here :smile:

Fur is beautiful, DG - gorgeous polish. Glad to be inducted into JA, I think I'll be here a while ;) I hadn't thought of naming her, I guess I should! I'll think on it.

2boys, thank you! I'm definitely attached, so it must be meant to be :) we'll have to talk pearls sometime, I'm a big fan! I was thinking a couple of jade pendants could make fun enhancers on pearls.

Pearl and Jade talk - count me in :happydance:
Sometimes when I'm wearing my green Jade pendant I will pair it with my pearl ring and pearl earrings just because pearls are so neutral and timeless.

That sounds lovely! They really do pair well. I want to find some pendants with nice, saturated colors to wear with white pearls. I wear more colorful pearls often, too, it will be fun figuring out jade colors to work with them. Maybe red?

hi hi and welcome! It looks like a ruyi to me. I love carved bangles... in fact, I think I favor them over my other bangles now. Yours is lovely!

As the ladies have said, a chime is a good sign. I've got one bangle that doesn't and 3 serious stone lines.... makes me nervous to wear it. I'm thinking about getting it banded. I have another bangle that looks like broken ice inside and all sorts of surface reaching stone lines and it has a chime and is strong. Funny how that works out.
 
It looks great Fan! I love the purple and the patterns within the stone. It doesn't seem too big in this pic- what size it this? Are you able to exchange for the 56 mm? There is a shop in Barefoot Landing, Myrtle Beach which sold dif kinds of rocks and jewellery made of stones and I saw a lot of amethyst. No bangles but they had earrings and pendants.
Both your amethyst bangle and NYC's Ametrine are gorgeous alternatives to lavender jade. More of a purple punch :heart::happydance:

Very nice! The color is so intense. I don't think it looks too big either but as 2boys said, can you exchange it?

Nice fano! So vivid in purple color - like candy! I think it looks beautiful on you and perfect paired with your other bangle :heart:

thank you, ladies :smile: my amethyst bangle is 58mm. i decided not to exchange for the 56mm because i don't want to have to wait for the mail again. besides, i'm very attached to it. i love it so much that i haven't taken it off yet. :p
 
A couple of sad news today...
I filed a paypal claim to get my money back from 9SJW since it has been over two months, still no estimate of when they will ship, and they stopped responding to me. Their work looks beautiful but I'm way too frustrated by the transaction to look forward to having this bangle. I would rather buy something else with the money such as a pretty purple bangle like fanofjadeite's amethyst!! It is gorgeous!!

Allan started working on my bangle but it had a crack and broke. :sad: I'm waiting to hear back if he still has more of the same shade of Turkish Lavender because I really like the color. Here are the pics he sent me.View attachment 3446762 View attachment 3446763
so sorry to hear that the bangle broke, piosavsfan :sad: i'm sure allan will be able to make u another thats just as gorgeous. big hugs to u :hugs:

You can eat many many donuts before you would need to work out Ms DG :happydance:
Thank you for the comps on my bangle and ring. My dad used to wear a Jade ring everyday on his pinkie but then it became too small on him. When I got married my parents bought me jewellery but they each wanted to give me something that was theirs and so I had his ring reset. I "designed" it myself but initially i found it too masculine looking for some reason but now I like it. One more pic that shows it clearer - please excuse the dry skin on my hands:annoyed:
WOW! your ring is TDF, jademommy :heart::love::drool: bangle looks great too :tup:

Thanks Fan! I'm glad to hear you are keeping your amethyst bangle and not exchanging it. We do get attached to our Jade don't we? Besides I think it looks very nice on you. Sometimes with tighter bangles you are less likely to wear and switch them up. Be sure to post more pics of your gorgeous amethyst sometime ;)
 
Happy sunday jadies!

I shared this in the semi-precious stones thread, but thought i'd drop it here, too. I got it from reikocrystalbeads - matches the description, fits specific gravity and no floresence. I don't know enough about quartz to tell if it is treated or dyed at all, though.
