Here are some pictures of my Jade pieces.
this one is lighter color with even color.
another one with little bit of dark spot, but I found a prefect ring to go with.
BEAUTIFUL jade bangles! The ring just a perfect match with your princess round bangle, stunning!

You have some GORGEOUS pieces there. YES, please join us. We are thrilled that you are joining us. Your pieces of jade are very translucent. They are so lovely. You are very lucky.

I just love this bangle. Isn't it totally cool that every single piece of jade has it's own personality and it's own look. That is why I love jade more than any other stone. It's like every one is it's own person and no two are ever alike even if they were from the same stone and were carved as two separate pieces. Amazing.

Thanks for this great link Chrono.
I've always been curious about jade and jadeite.

I've been crazy for jade since I was in grade school. My first piece was a nephrite band ring and drop earrings which I truly loved.
I had to have jade drop earrings after reading some Pearl Buck novels about Chinese ladies wearing them. I was maybe 12 years old.
I have acquired many pieces since then.
I purchased my first jadeite bangle in 1999, in Honolulu. It developed a hairline crack, so I got a new one in 2004, and have been wearing that one ever since. I dont take it off, ever. I am not of Asian descent, but I love my bangle, I am very attached to it, and I feel it is lucky.
It is green, yellow and white, similar to Dynasty's photo, posted previously.

I don't know much about jade (my mom doesn't wear much, it's always been something that my grandma and older ladies in my family wear) but recently I've been coming around to appreciating jade more. I think I like lavender jade and icy jade more than the regular green jade. Really need to read up more about jade since I live in Hong Kong! 
Eta: some rings that my local jeweler makes. I've only used him for diamond jewelry but he also has some CS stuff like these jade rings.

OH WOW! I wish I had something like this. Thank you so much for sharing. Love to look at gorgeous pieces like this. I didn't like jade until very recently. Now I love the stone. The more I learn about it the more I love it.

Who is your jeweler? Maybe I can get something from him. I love the look of those two rings. WOW

It's Hon Ngai Jewelry on Etsy. If you are in Hong Kong and can pay locally, the price is significantly cheaper.Silvermom said:mochiko42|1404005518|3703045 said:Haha they're not mine.

The contact person is Terence, and the workman is Mr Lee, Terence's dad. He has been a jewelry craftsman for 40+ years. He is super nice and friendly but I think the company doesn't know that much about colored stones because the local market expectations for CS are low.
I would add a caveat that I mostly recommend them for diamonds and for setting your own colored stones. While they carry colored stones like sapphire and ruby, the quality is not good and they use glass filled rubies (!!) Hong Kong is not a great place for good quality colored stones
for jade I think Terence is OK since the HK market is more picky about treated jade but I would still strongly suggest you ask questions first. Or preferably, find your own jade cab for them to set.

Here's my bracelet. I've been wearing it constantly since 2004. It's from a shop in the Sheraton Waikiki.

OMG this is so beautiful! Thank you for posting. Has the color or translucence changed at all since you wear it so much. I really love your bangle. WOWZA
Do you live in Hawaii?
