Ack! I clapped my hands together to kill a food moth in my kitchen, and my amazonite bangle fell off in two pieces! It was between a rock and a hard place (a lapis bangle and a jade bangle), and I know the feldspar fractures easily. But!
You can also mix in pigment dust, like that from chalk pastels, in with the epoxy so that it has a matching color. If when it dries, the epoxy is more shiny than the bangle, you can take a fine sandpaper piece or nail file, and lightly buff it do that it becomes more Matt looking.
Arkteia, that is a very interesting design! It's such a mix between modernity and old world elegance with the length of the pendant and the forms. I love how you call them 'puff pearls'! Good enough to eat.It is not how I wear it, but just a new photo from the front camera. Blue tourmaline pendant from Jeff Davies on a string of puffed pearls.
Tourmaline, thanks! Because of this response, so am I. I will not be purchasing from them again, that's for sure. I'll be writing to them too very soon. I'm curious to see how they will respond lol.
When I am in Russia I always look for a piece of Charite and it has always been way over the top expensive...when I could even find it. 
So I will enjoy looking at your bangle until fate brings me a charite!
Sorry about your bangle...I've chipped an unset pear Morganite and know exactly how you feel.Ack!

Here is a picture of it post repair...the man who did this is really reasonable and skilled. He also repairs with silver. His name is Churk from Churkworkshop on etsy. Another possibility.
Nothing new except for these wooden Indian bangles which are super sparkly and fun...this is my jewelry ensemble for a long day at the office. I'm really getting tired of the purple polish. I can't wait to get them done. I think I'll do a glittery light pink...
Lol! I love the phrase, "tres Burmese style".lol!! Still gorgeous though!Spinels and the first ring I ever had made locally in Yangon with a pink sapphire. Tres Burmese style as they did not comply with my original design.
I'm so sorry that happened to you!! That happened to me in high school with a bracelet that was a gift! I would cry! Hugs to you!Ack!

Gorgeous!
I love this. Such a beautiful color and so unique.Today I'm wearing my grandmother's lapis and diamond pendant on her 60" handmade chain, doubled to 30". It falls over my abdomen. The metal is 14k gold. My grandmother died earlier this year. She was almost 96. I love to wear her pieces. ❤
Thank you so much! I fell in love with this ring and I went through 2 months of thinking about it and not being able to forget it before I finally got it.
@Bluegemz Congrats on your new pendant. I can't take my eyes off the ring. I think you may have shared it before, but I don't remember seeing the gallery. It is stunning from the top down and side!
The pendant came out great! Your tourmaline is just perfect.
