Happy Day-after-Christmas all!

I wasn't expecting it, but I wound up getting jade for Xmas after all! I participated in a secret santa exchange and my santa got me a beaded bracelet.

I haven't been on the board in a while. I do pop in from time to time to see all the Jadies beautiful pieces. I received these just before Christmas, I hope you don't mind me sharing a few. View attachment 3557895View attachment 3557896View attachment 3557897

Silver Mom has the absolute best jeweler. I hope I can find one capable of making these into earrings. View attachment 3557898View attachment 3557901

Missed you here C Rose :) Great pieces! I love that bangle with its bold green streak and I'm sure your jeweller can make you a beautiful pair of earring. Do you you have a setting in mind?

Awww that made me smile [emoji5]Thank you so much 2BJM, it's been crazy doing so many renovations on my house and putting on the market. This thank goodness will my final move [emoji4]

I would like the sides and the back to be covered in 18k or 22k gold. With the jade cabs resting inside the gold. I'm not sure what you would call that but you question made me think about maybe doing a diamond stud with the cab dangling below it.

Do you think they are too big to do a post or a stud kinda style earrings?

Moving is so stressful but exciting at the same time.
I'm not the best Jadie to here to ask about design lol - Silver Mom and Crosso just to name a couple are the ones with the creative eye:) For me I always prefer studs over dangly earrings but that is just for myself. I find them to be more versatile. Even if it is surrounded by diamonds or gold you can probably wear them with jeans whereas with dangly earrings you may have to save them for more formal wear unless the setting is ultra simple.
I just reread your post and I think I misunderstood your dangle diamond design- do you mean putting a solitaire diamond at the bottom of the cab but it still remains a "stud" ? If so I think that would be lovely. I have pearl earrings like that. Initially I pictured a diamond with a short gold chain with the Jade cab literally dangling an inch or so below....

Yes, I was thinking of the stud attached directly to the cab with the diamond at the top instead of the bottom, but I like your idea too! I'm not much into dangle earrings myself, mainly because I hate my hair getting all caught up in them [emoji4]

Happy 2017 Jadies!

The sun finally came out today, so I'm thinking about dragging my DS to the beach this afternoon. I'm thinking about which bangle still needs to be dunked in sea water. In the mean time, here's my whites: Rice (top), Super Green (left), Granny Apple (right), and Elsa (carved, bottom)

Wear them all so they all get a sea water bath) Beautiful whites... I especially love the sweet pop of bright green on Super Green and Granny Apple.

Ms Blu! So glad to hear from you:smile: I hope 2017 will be amazing to all of us. The forum has been quieter in recent months but I too think of you Jadies from time to time.

I ve missed you 2boys_jademommy....you and junkenpo.....silvermom...just all of you!!!
life was definitely hard for my Lil fam....right up to the very end of 2016....previously 2014, and 2015 were good to us....not 2016 lol.
so I'm hoping 2017 will be better.
I'm so glad and pleased to see all of you again and look at some pretty jade!!
I'm starting out my 2017 with a bangle on its way. not that expensive at all...but it's kind of a weird greenish/ yellow with a tiny bit of reddish veins from the looks of the pic... I bargained the seller down and now I'm looking at another 2 more since we ve been so broke the past few months.
I hope u are all doing well everywhere you all are!!
