Wow Pirard they're beautiful! That's one bangle under different lighting right? I love it and the beads look great too.

WOW, Pirard!!!!!!!!! Everything is so beautiful!!! I especially love the bangle....

 

[Pirard]

Yes, the same bangle...one under regular overhead and natural day light, the other under the direct high intensity LED lighting on my range hood. I really do love the rich deep green.

Here is a shot of my 3 bangles (I have a 4th which now lives with youngest daughter)

I love them all especially that yummy lavender and your new rich green bangle.
Incredible how different your new angle look under different light. Thanks for sharing!!

 

[Pirard]

Thanks 2boys. The bangle is translucent so in the direct lighting (and in full sun) it looks more like a bright green. But in the overhead lighting indoors, it looks like a wonderful deep forrest green. I have a couple of pieces of nephrite jade (pins) but this is my first bangle.

Beautiful, Pirard! Congrats! I'm just now starting to pull out what I think of as my cooler weather jade with more "moody" colors. Grey, blue and mottled green jadeites and nephrite. Wore these beads Friday, which I haven't worn in ages it seems.
