Thank you. Didn't even see the lavender until you mentioned it..Matching Princesses! That green really pops against the softer lavender. Very nice
Really?!?! I saw that lavender prettiness right away
The bangle further away from your wrist has more lavender while the other one is more of a greyish white - at least that's how it shows on my phone.2boys,
Thank you for the warm welcome. I have subscribed to this thread for months, lurking at all your finds and I picked these two up today. The woman had a whole lot more in different colors and sizes. She showed me a certificate confirming they are jade. I am embarrassed to say where I got them from and how much I paid. Thank you again for being kind.

Simplyput I am happy to meet you here
Never be embarrassed to say where you got your Jade from or how much you paid - after all the beauty ofJade is in the eye of the beholder. Having said that no need to divulge too much information not either
They look great on you!

Congrats on your bangles Simplyput! 2boys is absolutely right...! We all learn when we find out where jade can be purchased and there are so many factors to jade prices, including something as simple as location, that we can't always say something is overpriced or underpriced. A lot depends on what colors you like, size you wear/like, translucency, graining, carving.... so many things! And yes, only share what you comfortable sharing with the world... this is a very widely read public forum.
Chic bangle JKPin the sunlight it looks like there are cool silvery patches. I agree the thin bangles are super comfy. What's the diameter of this one?
Thanks! I really like these black bangles... the black is where the color collects... the gray is where the bangle is more translucent.. It's actually about the same diameter as PL: 51mm... It's about 12mm wide & 3mm thick.
Thanks Silver Mom! I like that we can all learn from each other.
Here's a fun one, the translucency on my thinner black bangles.. the lighter parts are the light shining through the bangle.... it is a very gray day outside... overcast, lots of rain.... normally I have a view of another island that's about 8 miles away, and it not visible.
And because the DH is at work, I hauled all these out.... a family shot of all my bangles! 
Wow you can really see through the icy spots! Black jadeite has the variation in colour ranging from very black to icy grey. Under bright sunlight I can see my black nephrite is dark green and there are some areas where there is slight translucence. Well not translucence actually but more like a swirl or clouds. Most of the time it looks pretty much all black.Here's a fun one, the translucency on my thinner black bangles.. the lighter parts are the light shining through the bangle.... it is a very gray day outside... overcast, lots of rain.... normally I have a view of another island that's about 8 miles away, and it not visible.
Gorgeous family of bangles. A few of them look quite tiny in terms of diameter. You have a lovely collection JKPAnd because the DH is at work, I hauled all these out.... a family shot of all my bangles!

Thanks! I would love to have a black nephrite bangle some day. My smallest wearable bangles are 50-51mm. The yellow one is 48.5, but I've never tried to get it on... I'm afraid of getting stuck, haha. I'm thinkng about making it a permanent bangle for when I retire. One of the smaller ones is a baby bangle that I'm hoping to gift to future grandkids in maybe 20 years or so...
Thanks Silver Mom! I still think you have the best variety of colors and quality!
All my non-bangle jade bits, with the exception of a pair of black nephrite earrings... lol. This is why I think I've slowed down.
