Thank you! The weather is so pretty today I'm so bummed that I can't just be frolicking in the water! I'm tempted to go anyway....

Welcome Starry Sky! Would love to see your JadeHappy First Day of Spring!
I'm happy to have stumbled across this forum, where there are other lovers of jade.
I'll take a pic and try to post one of my lovelies to get started.
Hi and Welcome Starry Sky! If memory servers correctly, you need a minimum number of posts and/or days before you can start attaching pics. I want to say it is 5 posts, but I don't remember. I've been here on tPF way too long. hahah Alternately, you could try loading to a photo hosting site and link an image that way. I like using imgur. Keep posting!
Here are some new pics of a bangle I haven't posted about in awhile. Here is Leaf. She has very nice translucency, but really big grains and numerous internal and surface flaws.

I think I'm able to attach my photo this time, so maybe it's 3 posts before the forum allows it? I'm crossing my fingers that it works and the pic is actually there, lol.
Meet Nutmeg. She's jadeite and one of my heavier bangles. She's mostly whitish-gray with tiny orange dots but sometimes in certain lighting she can start to almost glow a strange green color. DH jokes that it's her alien personality showing itself.
This pic was taken by my weeping cherry tree which is suddenly starting to blossom. It must have gotten the memo about today being the first day of spring.
Lol alien personality Nutmeg is very pretty. Love the orange dots! And how beautiful is your cherry tree - it's Spring!!

Here's my new jade ring from Choo Yilin.
Beautiful and elaborate design! I had to take a second look because all I could see was the gorgeous sparkly stone - is it aquamarine? The rose gold rose sitting on top is very sweet. The ring looks lovely on your hand
Thanks!
The stone is topaz. They have several designs and stones, I had a hard time deciding.

Nutmeg is so pretty! I really like whitish bangles that have contrasting colors. It makes them sweet and gives personality. The blossoms in your pic echo her coloring! Is Nutmeg a permanent bangle? I have one I wear permanently on my right wrist, but will swap out different bangles and bracelets on the left.
Oooh! This is great! I like the cool coloring on the band and it is very complementary with the gemstone and gold. It looks like a great Spring and all-season ring.
Such a beautiful ring with lovely colors! That rose in rosegold is a work of art all by itself.
I don't really have a permanent bangle. I do always wear one on my left wrist 24/7 for a week or so until I decide to rotate with another. I will sometimes change it to match clothes, although I'm seeing now from this forum that maybe I should do it more often!
I have only rarely worn a bangle on my right wrist, because that hand isn't as flexible and I also seem to knock it into everything. I have some bead bracelets that I stack sometimes, on either wrist. I've seen some of your posts where you talked about wearing Smoke, who is very pretty! (I'm trying to catch up and read some of the earlier posts.)I hear ya about not being flexible! My right hand is definitely not as flexible as my left. Part of me thinks "someday" for making a bangle permanent on the left, but the other part of me likes being able to swap bangles and bracelets around.
Here are some photos of my first princess round... I call her First Princess, haha. Morning light through an open window. She's a little big, easy to slip on and off on either hand... I think if she had been a little smaller, I might have just stopped with her. She's a pale green and feels lovely on.
