Do you ladies match your bangles to your outfits or just wear whatever bangle is calling to you? Sometimes I want to wear a bangle but I feel like it just doesn't go with what I'm wearing. My most worn bangles are probably my grey jadeite and dark, dark green (almost black) nephrite because it goes with so much. I would love to have a black jadeite bangle.

Hi Pio! I've tried matching bangles to outfits but I find I miss my regular bangles Mylasia and Noel, so I always go back to them. Mylasia is a dark green and I wear a lot of black so she suits most outfits, and Noel is light lavender with a spot of green and spots of purple which turn around on my wrist, so the color you mostly see is a light lavender which seems to go with pretty much anything I wear. I go mostly on the mood I'm in and which bangles go with that mood for the day.

I do . I get a thrill outta matching different outfits with different jadeite colors . But black bangles is an all time favorites because they kinda work well with everything :smile:

Green is very lovely . I love silver moms Siberian to die for green square . The color is brilliant . I have. Green nephrite square by Allan too , but if I m in a green sundress , then I try to work it with others .

Black jadeite is a good investment . I think a couple of Jade sistas have a variation call guatemala black jadeite ? It's very even black and the pricing seems very competitive for a even black . You could check that out . It's. Very even black from what I observe . As the Burmese black chicken jadeite variety tend to have snowy spots and there might be slight color variation .

Enjoy ;) it's always lovely to shop for new Jade and wait for packages in the mail :smile:

Thank you for the suggestions. I will check out both of the blacks you mentioned. And yes I love waiting for packages in the mail...I think it is an addiction I have :).

I do the same - I like to match my jade to my outfits, although I have certain favorites that I wear more often.
I have one of the black Guatemalan jadeite bangles, purchased from JadeMaya. It was very reasonably priced, but if you want one in your size, you have to contact them to custom make one for you and be patient with the pace of communication.

I checked out JadeMaya and the prices for their jade do seem very reasonable. Thank you!

Pio, I try to match what I am wearing for the day. It is kinda fun, don't you think?

It is fun, but it is hard because I wear a lot of bright colors and they don't necessarily work with the jade :sad:.

I have not worn it because it is too fancy for everyday wear and also because I've been trying to convince her to keep it. She doesn't care for jewellery and keeps giving me her stuff. The pics are bad - just took them in my bathroom lol but just felt like sharing. This was an anniversary gift years ago from my dad to my mom.
Happy Mid Autumn Festival by the way Jadies!

Wow! Very fancy. I think I would only be able to wear something like that to very special events.

For some reason I always forget that I can wear my lavender. It also goes with a lot. Maybe I need to set it out where it will be more visible to me when I'm getting ready.

Thank you dear!! Somehow when I met SilverMom's jeweler Alice, she told me dark color jades don't work with my coloring and to stick with lighter colors. I have a black nephrite bangle and have actually never worn it.

Interesting.... I bet the black nephrite bangle would look good on you. We are similar in colouring although I tan very dark in summer. Try it!

Hi Jadies! Been lurking here enjoying the gorgeous pieces.
Would like opinions on this piece.

I really love the colors.

Hi Purse Nut - love your screen name :) I think the colours on this bangle are pretty. I really like the pop of violet against the publish grey. Because of the price I don't think it is jadeite and I don't think nephrite comes in purple. It's still a pretty bangle and if it is your fist one it would be good to try for size as long as you know this may not be Jade. Welcome to the forum! :smile:

Thanks jademommy. I noticed this seller has some über expensive pieces listed too. I thought from the history and feedback this might be a more reputable Seller.
Not sure where to shop for jade.
Thank you for your thoughts on this too. Really love all the info n pics here as well.

You could always contact the seller. He probably has a mix of untreated and treated Jade along with stones that are not Jade at all. I am not as good as many of the other Jadies here at determining the type of stone and whether or not it's untreated but I am basing my opinion on price. It's too good to be true. It's very pretty though and if I were you I'd ask the seller. Good luck :)
