Hi Dynasty!!!! Great to see you back on the thread. It has been so long and I really did miss you. Since it has been so long I thought I would ask you a question that I am really curious about and maybe you can answer. Have you been wearing your Jades? If you have, can you tell me if they have changed in color or translucense in any way. I have been wearing my pieces and have noticed that they have become so much shiner and deeper in color. Do you think that is even possible or do you think I am imagining it? Anyway, glad you are back!

Hi Silver Mom and Hi Ladies!
Yes it's been over two years since my last post here.
I have one of my bangle that I wear for while that I notice have changed become more moist, shinier and clear/translucent in some part of the bangle but about become deeper in color since mine is black I can't really tell.

Maybe any ladies here have any experience about this?

Maybe some ladies that used to post here like BreadnGem, Berniechocolate, Jadelover, germansheperd, DaisyShadow, druzy, Tiffins, Jade4me, Chubbychoco, uli, Lynne Tyson, faithgrace7 and many more out there? Come on ladies! Come back and share some of your experience and jade adventure with us! Miss you all!

Here is some pics of the bangle before and after.

Hey folks ,

Howdy Silver Mom & Dynasty and other jade sistas !

It's been so long , I recall when I first shared here , my son was still a toddler , now he's primary school age ;) time flies .

Can't catch up fast enough with gazillion pics .

Crosso - I really love your awesome creativity and skills crosso. That's really some very good hands working with that dainty oriental style crosso . It's really perfect with the carved lavender bangle .

Ever consider setting up shop ? On Etsy perhaps , i think you could do some really cool intricate jadeite dangles for earrings . I wouldn't mind being your first customer!!!

dynasty - wow !!! That's quite different from it was first send over to u . The snowy bits really looks more translucent now , I hope one day you can put it on again .

About translucence thought it's been said that it is a given constant scientifically , I have heard of many anecdotal account of bangles looking better with increased wearing .

Perhaps our body heat and oils with prolonged contact reacts to give j a really lovely glow .


Junkepo - that's really a great match your van cleef bracelet and nephrite beads . The beads are luminous green . Is that from Allan :)

silver mom - you should model your stuff more ;) . One at a time , that's too precious every single one of them . I agree it's good to enjoy what we have . After all only one neck and A pair of hands .

These are my current favorites :) , it's a howdy jade post after eons of random post ;)

I m on a yellow orange fever again ! Enjoy and I hope to see more modeling post with outfits etc . We will eventually have more stable collection and stop buying , so it's interesting to see how jadeite or jade match with other stuff in our jewelry box .

It DOES look more translucent Dynasty...beautiful :)
 
Love the flowers and balance of colors! Is this going to be a regular length or opera length style? The spacing looks great. What's the source for the flowers?

Thanks for sharing Dynasty! Did you purchase this one? I like how glassy it is.

You are welcome
No I didn't buy this because of the size and I just bought other bangles and ring that make my wallet empty LOL

WOW Dynasty! This is so cool. I think I shall have to wear my jade pieces more. Your example has truly inspired me. The difference in the two photos are really great. I truly did not realize that it would make such a difference. Hey jadies, did you guys find this to be happening to any of your pieces? Would love to hear from everybody on this thread (especially all the "old timers") that Dynasty mentioned. Loving the thought of possibly all our old friends coming back to this thread.

Hi Bernie! Lovely to see you posting and thank you for the kind compliment! I've not ever thought of opening a shop - I make a few things for myself, family or friends, but I am way too much of an amateur (and a perfectionist) to think of selling them. I enjoy it as a hobby, as I find it relaxing. It's also a bit easier on the wallet than just buying whatever strikes my fancy and I like being able to customize.
Love your marmalade bangle and your orange pendants are gorgeous!! The smaller pendant is especially vivid and just glows like it's own little sun. Stunning!
 
Hello everyone, I just started following this thread yesterday! There are so much info and lots of great jade candies. I own several small pieces like rings and pendant.my black jade ring broke recently :(

This year is a memorable year personally and now I'm totally looking for a jade bangle. I saw a vintage bangle with hinges but usually people only put hinges if the bangle was cracked or broken. Am I crazy to still go for it?! Or new one is the general rule for jade? I heard some old ones were put in a tomb...

Would be great to hear your advice! Once I get home I'll post some of the pieces I have !

Hi and welcome! So sorry to hear about your broken ring... was it a cabochon set in a metal band, or was it a completely stone ring? Can it be repaired or reset? I love black jade. I know some people feel uncomfortable wearing banded or hinged bangles because a jade bangle is supposed to be "protective" and if broken, then it's done its job as a protector. However, I would have no qualms about wearing a bangle that is banded or hinged if it is grade A, pleasing to my eye, and a friendly price. haha

I'm not usually superstitious, but I did purchase a used bangle that kind of felt "angry" for the lack of a better word. It didn't change till I paired with another bangle that seemed to "clear" it . It was a very unusual feeling. Now, any new bangles go with me to the beach at least once to bath in the salt water which is supposed to be "cleasening", and that seems to settle everything to neutral.
