Waaa Your sets are amazing!! Crosso the green on your ring is very vivid! I love junkenpo's little donut too. Hard to come by a transuclent piece like this.

Taking your advice, I have decided to take off my bangle for exercise.. just in case! It does hurt a bit but better than cracking it!

Dster, Today I'm looking at my bangle at work and it looks almost white or light gray in office lighting! :sad: it looks very different from indirect light or in the evening....


I hear ya on the color-changingness of lavender bangles. I have one I call "Pale Lavender" - never got around to giving her a fancy name, now I just call her PL. She mostly looks white/grey in direct sunlight, but in over cast conditions and in yellowy indoor light, then her "lavender" comes out stronger. She's got a thick stone line and some greeny spots on her. She has a surface line I can feel and used to have to search for, but now I can see it because some dirt got caught in it... gotta find something gentle to scrub it out.

And the rough stuff mostly cut into slabs!

That's really neat... the colors are cool. If I had any sort of talent for making my imagination take form, I think I would try lapidary work. Only with jade and jade-like stones, though probably. lol..
 
Quick update. got the very first bangle in my life! Yay!!!!! Was looking for hinged ones but got totally distracted by the lavender. At the start I thought I wasn't drawn to lavender and it totally proved me wrong. This is a very light lavender with shades of green in two areas.

Second knuckle of my thumb hurts a bit now from repeatedly putting on and off different bangles today. For this one, it's still manageable to take it off with with soap or Vaseline. How are the Jadies here dealing with wearing bangles when exercising? I go rock climbing regularly...still thinking if i can get away with covering the bangle up with those elastic sports band.
Congratulations, it's lovely, gogo94! I have a special love of lavender jade, I just find it so soothing to look at. Yours has beautiful translucence and a nice tranquil, soft color. Wear it in good health and happiness!
 
Yes!! I got to love jade around 5-6 years ago. Now I'm in early 30s. It helps when there are new jeweller using jade in their design. It looks elegant and edgy at the same time. It's easy to match with clothes.

Sunny day today and my little jade pieces today. Heading out to check out shops for bangles!
Really like this ring! So exotic looking and makes a statement!
 
Fabulous! I think it would be neat to work with jade and other stone. What type of special equipment do you use?



I really like those earrings! (I love everything, though)... are they posts or clip/screw? I would love to find a pair of simple everyday greenish jadeite earrings.



love that carving on the ring and the little jade bits on the bracelet!





The lavender is lovely and feminine! very nice even coloring all the way around. I don't exercise much, I do have a bangle I haven't taken off in two years. Do you climb on climbing walls or actually mountainsides? Do you bang your arms on the walls or equipment much? I would say if you are okay with taking it off, then take it off to be safe. If you intend to wear it all the time... I have a bangle I haven't taken off for about 2 years... then definitely find something to secure and pad it while on, while not being too bulky to interfere with your sport.
Hi JKP!! Thank you! The earrings are post and wonderful for every day wear, I barely know I'm wearing them.

Please allow me to share my new jadeite ring! It's interesting to see all the different lighting! Please excuse the picture overload!
Excuse me while I faint! That's a beautiful cabochon! I think you would have to post many, many more photos before I could be overloaded. Did you purchase the ring like that or did you select a cab and have it custom made? The jade practically glows, it's so pretty. I think it a great pairing with the gold and diamonds.


Sunny day jade

Very happy looking! Warm and friendly!
