The JADE thread!

[designergoods]

I can't seem to quote 2 people on mobile unfortunately. I have noticed a difference in the color, it seem to change every few months! I don't think the translucency has changed, but the color is a deeper color than when I first began wearing it. I might be imagining the change in colors, but looking at old photos I know it's become a deeper purple color.
It's not incredibly tight but I have very small wrists, so it probably can't come off my hand without some serious oil/soap and determination. I wear it most of the time a little higher up (where the red mark is on my arm).

Sorry if that was more info than you wanted!

I think she fits you perfectly and so amazing how the color has enhanced with wear. I always find it interesting to hear the changes jade will go through with its owner.

Hi Jadies I wanted to give a quick update on my Siberian nephrite bangle from Allan. It arrived last week. The fit and the proportions of the bangle is perfect. Allan's craftmanship is amazing and the bangle he made me totally lived up to his reputation on this thread. Now for the bit of "bad" news....the colour was not what I expected it to be. Allan being the artist and generous person he is, offered to make me another one. Honestly I did not expect this. He is very busy and so the new one won't be be made until Nov/Dec. I don't think I will post any pics of the bangle because it does not feel right to do so as Allan can resell it but trust me when I say the workmanship on it is PERFECT. So at this point in time no new bangle for me to share. I will of course post pics when my new bangle arrives in a few months.

Thanks for sharing the update. It is nice to hear that Allan offered to make another one for you and hope it comes out the way you want it. Fingers crossed everything goes well and it will be perfect as it will arrive during the holidays for you!...can you believe the year is coming to an end already - where does the time go?

Thank you ladies I actually took off all my other bangles and just wearing her for now.
Bat, I got her from JoJo (same seller as Seasons)
2boys, a totally different shape compared to my other bangles. She is chubby at 11.5x10.5 with a flat inner

Is it an oval shape? Or is the 11.5mm the width and 10.5 mm the height? What is the diameter? I think this shape is very elegant and feminine and somehow also dressier than the wide d shapes. Just a different vibe. Enjoy your beautiful new bangle DG

Thank you ....She is a round cut and 11.5 width and 10.5 depth...54.5mm size so that I can easily slide on and off. I really like the shape too as she has some weight and form to her. More of a feminine elegant shape...
What are you wearing today?

Too bad you didn't like the color, but I'm glad he is making you a new one! I still haven't heard about what's happening with my bangle since the one he was working on broke.

I wanted to share with you all, my jade family, that I have worked with JoJo for many many months (9+ months) on finding a bangle. Finally, my dream bangle got carved out in a blue/purple color with nice texture! I also would like to thank Dynasty for all her support
In my excitement let me introduce Fantine.
Thanks for taking a look and hope everyone has a lovely day!

The lighting is so bad in my office but this is what I am wearing now. Please excuse my messy desk.
54.5 is bigger than your other bangles right? I can't get over how gorgeous it is!

Thank you Pio. Have you tried emailing him? He sometimes does take a while to respond but he will eventually. Good luck and please let us know. At this rate perhaps you and I will get our new bangles in time for Christmas

Fan is that a good luck kitty charm I see on your bead bracelet? It's adorable!! And those black beads are so dark and pretty! Thanks also for the eye candy

Fan, those are lovely! Awkwardly, I first looked at this thread on my phone and the pic was so small, I thought the pink bracelet was some kind of dyed bead and was going to ask about it. Then I came on the computer and saw a better-sized pic lol.

thanks, ladies yes, thats a good luck kitty on the aventurine beads bracelet. i just bought the bracelet yesterday.

 

[fanofjadeite]

Fano, I always enjoy seeing your candy color stacks! The wide one is my favorite and how cute is that cat!!! ...gorgeous green mall jade - love the doughnut hinged details.

thanks, designergoods the cat bracelet is new. i just bought it yesterday

Beautiful! Love your bumper bracelet too!

Thank you!

Beautiful! How do you like having an oval bangle? Does it have a better fit?

Snugger fit, I like ovals. I have a slim oval white bangle as well that I haven't worn in a long time. I used to pair it with Snowflake, my white faceted, but fear damage.

Very pretty NYC P!! You can't tell that one is oval and one round - they look great together. Have you decided on what to do about a bangle for your little princess?

Yes, it is a funny thing, it was hard to tell with the two white round and oval I used to pair together too. I haven't yet decided. Nikolai has not gotten back to me on whether she has enough material.

I just found this thread but thought I'd contribute! This is my lavender jade bangle, I've had it since 2009, I got it in Hong Kong and have worn it every day since.

Beautiful!! I love lavender jade!
