My new floating flowers Jade bangle

[mellowyellowgirl]

Dabbled with this a few months ago but could never find a pretty one. They'd look great in the factory photos and then super ugly when my vendor took "real life" photos for me. Plus most of them cost the earth!

I was only supposed to buy a new bangle after my son finished his exams but this one just popped up one day!!!!

So here it is!!! It's a real chameleon and I love it!!!! It's very different to anything else I own.

@Lovinggems this is 8.3mm. You've inspired me to not be scared of thin bangles!!!

 

[VividRed]

I know nothing about Jade but wow, what a nice color! Congratulations on your new bangle, enjoy it!

 

[Sparkles88]

It’s stunning @mellowyellowgirl I can see how you couldn’t resist buying that beauty! Enjoy! Xx

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Good for you girl
i love it

 

[Lovinggems]

I love it! 8.3mm doesn't look too thin at all, and it's different from your other bangles. The pattern and colour is really beautiful.

 

[Rhd3]

Ooh, that’s beautiful!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Took her out and about today

 

[Tartansparkles]

[Obscura]

It's lovely! I really like how in the sunny pictures the white looks like clouds.

Hallo

I bought it from WeChat but Kathy Jade also has a lot of different stock is you're looking for a place that is less daunting.

https://www.lihongjade.com/our-collections/bangles/59mm.html has nice stock too.

Happy to post my WeChat contact but it's not a process for the faint hearted.

@icy_jade can you help with anymore good places for bangles?

Well, there is also Ultimate Jadeite on Etsy etc but yes I’m also in the murky world of IG and WeChat sellers. Not for the faint hearted really.

 

[Garnet Gimlet]

Absolutely gorgeous!!

 

[lilmosun]

Love the pattern and color!

 

[JewelledEscalators]

Don't know too much about jade but that's a nice colour.

Hi there,

I realize that this is a VERY old thread, but I was curious on how you order on wechat? I recently added a couple jadeite vendors (including one you recommended), but I'm a little overwhelmed with how to buy and ship. I know how to pay with Alipay so that's not an issue, but do the sellers list the RMB prices on their wechat moments or do I have to ask/negotiate directly with the seller? I'm too scared to order on Facebook moments as I don't understand Mandarin and inventory goes way too fast...

The shipping part also makes me wary because I don't know how comfortable/knowledgeable these sellers are with shipping overseas...I'm wondering if I'm better off using a proxy warehouse in China, having the sellers ship there, and then I can arrange the shipping myself to my home in the US.

Hallo! The vendor I use usually has prices listed on the Moments.

Make sure you ask for additional, natural light pictures and ask how accurate the colour of the item is from the photo in comparison to real life. There are some things that look nothing like the moments pictures and are absolutely horrendous when you see "real" photos.

If you dig up my Show me your Jade bangles thread, you can see how colours REALLY vary.

As for shipping, I asked them if they knew how to ship to Australia and they have many customers here so it was an easy process for them.

I did buy some cheap earrings initially (about $200 worth) and got them to ship those to see if things went smoothly.

Perfect, thank you! I’ll definitely ask for more photos and try out some “cheapies” first before I delve into the higher ticket items and make sure I’m able to receive what I buy. The prices on wechat are so much better than the Etsy sellers!

Congratulations, I love it! Aptly named!

OMG @mellowyellowgirl ...sorry, I should probably start a new thread, but I've been talking to one of the vendors you recommended. Apparently she sometimes comes to the US and she accepts Paypal. This can potentially be VERY bad for my wallet!
