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!!

You bangle colours sound very interesting - can't wait to see it. I hope it brings good luck for 2017.
I am waiting on a bangle from Allan but unfortunately he emailed me yesterday to say that the bangle he cut for me has a fracture. He will try again. I emailed to ask if he has more stone but have not back yet but I'm thinking he does since he did say the search continues.... ah well patience is a virtue.

Thanks JadedJae. It was Siberian nephrite. It was a mix of white, cream and browns. I hope Allan has more. Apparently he cut two bangles. One he immediately knew he could not continue with and mine he somewhat finished only to realize there is a fracture. Such is the delicate nature of working with Jade I guess.

I think so Silver Mom. - I just have to be patient lol:smile: I really appreciate Allan's honesty. He sent me a pic of the bangle he made for me. From what I can see it is "done" but because there is a fracture he said he will keep looking for another piece. Some sellers may have just sent it. I'm not even sure if the fracture would have even been enough to bother me but again there is something to be said about honesty and integrity. The gorgeous pieces he made for you and others have made me confident in his work and he certainly has my trust.

Yes 2 boys. Better to get one without fracture. You want to be able to pass this piece of art down to another family member one day. I know you will be happy in the end.

Ringing in a bright new year 2017 with a bright color. Happy new year everybody. P.S. Please excuse my persian cat Sunny's pieces of fur all over my bangle because I just love to cuddle with him. LOLView attachment 3565938

STUNNING. I love that it a princess. In this case I think the princess cut works even better with the colour because it is so pretty and almost delicate looking.

Looks great on you JadedJae! How much bigger did they resize your bangle? I'm guessing your jeweller would have had to carve out a millimetre or two from the inner diameter and then re polish.

Thanks jademommy! You're right, they took out another millimetre from the internal diameter as it was really kinda tight after i bought it... but because the grains are coarse (like flywings), after carving out and repolishing, some dirt got caught in crystalline pits (if that makes sense) and look like inclusions now [emoji27]

Im gonna try to buy a really fine toothbrush head and use my electric toothbrush to try and dislodge those pieces of dirt, hope it works!

Oh wow it didn't even occur to me that could happen. I'm assuming the dirt would be on the inner diameter of the bangle .... can you see it from then surface? Have you mentioned this to the jeweller because he may have a solution. Be careful with using a toothbrush. I know Jade is quite hard still be careful. Good luck with it :)
The bangle is beautiful and fits very nicely on your wrist.
