Ok, so lots of jade and pearls! Got it! I will see if they have anything new. They might...last time I was there they were talking about a whole new shipment from China, which usually means lots of jade! It should be to the store by now, so I will see what we can get today! So exciting!
Most people are a medium for the bangles, but they are usually found in the store for between $50-300 depending on color and density. Every once in a while they come up at auction, but they always go for more, around $70 for the nice ones. I do have one here that I love, but it was a special buy for myself and it cost $110. It does have 3 colors of jade in it and it's really lovely. So the mediums are hard to come by and cost more. If some one REALLY REALLY wants one, it might be a good idea to give me a price point. That way if you are willing to go $60 for it, I will keep bidding to get it for you.
I am so excited about going this afternoon! My son has been sick all week, so I am sleep deprived and have been doing nothing but comforting a cranky 2 year old for days!  My husband will be home soon so I can take little bit of a break, and of course, my son is doing a lot better now, so I don't feel bad leaving him at home.
I'm getting all excited just thinking about it!! I will post pics tomorrow and let you all know what I got. I will post tonight to let you know how successful I am at the aution!

[MAGreen]

BTW, I read all of my PM's and have added your requests to my list. I got a lot so I won't be responding to all of them right now, but I did get them, and I will be looking!

[MAGreen]

Well, That was fun! Not terribly successful, but fun. I did get some really nice pearls, black, chocolate, and pink. I got a jade necklace with earrings, it looks like my old jade, but it is in a lighter green color. A couple tea stained jade bracelets, Jade chopsticks, and 3 tea sets. No bangles, no statues. I will be going again next weekend to the other store where they will have more jade. And I will post pics and prices tomorrow for the pearls and jade. But just for fun...for $10, sight unseen, I will send a neckace, earring and ring set with pink pearls. First post here asking for it gets it!

Hi Mary Ann!
I would love to know more about the chocolate pearls!  I would be interested in the pink set, but I have
very small fingers (like 3.5 -4 size) so I doubt the ring would fit.. is it gold or silver tone?  Thanks! Kathy

I'll take it!!

Paula...the pink pearls are yours! I will post more about everything in the morning...I am off to bed.

Ohhh, I won something, I won something.  I never win anything!  Thank you thank you thank you.   I'll wait to pay you until I hear/see what other little treasures you have.  I LOVE the color pink.

I'm on the lavender bangle train, too! I've been watching this thread since it started, and you've picked up so many lovely pieces! I really loved the small lavender bangle that had some etchings on it that you picked up once. I've been kicking myself ever since for not getting it.

I got one of the jade bangles you're describing and I love it.  I can never wear bracelets because of my teeny wrists, and this one is awesome.  The only other bracelet I wear was a gift from my ex-husband on our 20th anniversary that I had to have 4 links removed.

Can't wait to see the pics! 

[corkyb]

Me either.

The large was 9 inches and way too big.  Now we'll have to wait to see what MaryAnn comes back with

I hope you don't mind me sharing this, but I took the offer to re-buy the large lavender bangle since I have fat wrists - and even on mine it is large (but still OK).  So, be careful with the bangles.

Thank you again for waiting until I get out of the hospital (should be this afternoon...maybe) to pay you - you are quite awesome!!

I bought a large lavender jade bangle.  It is beautiful, but I would be open to selling it, because I will not be able to wear it.  I have small wrists though.  Am trying to figure wear to measure to see if the 7 inch would fit.  Do I measure around my knuckles to see if it will go over?  I know I can wear a 71/4 inch bracelet.  But that is with a clasp I think.  Maybe I will go measure a couple of my bangles and see what they are.

I may be interested in buying your bangle.  I have a small wrist - 7 inches but my knuckles are wide and I can't curve my hand to get them in bangles.

What is the measurement of your bangle?  And how much do you want for it?

Yes, I would measure around your knuckles.

[corkyb]

Do I measure inside circumference or diameter?
Paula

[Someone Nameless]

I think the inside diameter would be the most accurate for telling if it would fit over your hand.

Thank you again for waiting until I get out of the hospital (should be this afternoon...maybe)

Fingers crossed that you are home for Easter...and so happy that someone can enjoy wearing the bangle...it's such a nice piece.

Pictures are taking longer than expected. Our internet is slow right now for some reason and they are having trouble uploading. The chocolate pearls are a single strand and I have matching dangle pearl earring with it ($24), I have a long strand of the black/gray pearls as well ($22), I have a jade bead necklace with matching earrings ($19), 5 tea stained jade bracelets (2 Buddha head, 2 round bead, 1 oval bead) ($7 each). I also have 3 tea sets, for those that were asking about them. Porcelain, with bamboo handles. They are all black with colored glaze inside. One is a dusty rose, one is cream, and the other is teal. All are very pretty! ($35 shipped per set)  All prices do include shipping, if you buy a bunch I can probably knock off a buck or two for the shipping. Next weekends trip should be better!
Thanks!

I sent you a pm about the chocolate pearls and earrings.

Yay! I'm glad to hear you like it (and secretly jealous ) and that it fits!
I have really small wrists, too, so that's always something I have to be aware of when buying bracelets and such. The only thing I wear on my wrists right now is a watch, and I've got to wear that with the latch in the closest hole thing ... if that makes any sense.

[MAGreen]

I never wore bracelets before now, but I will often wear two or three of my bangles now. They are so simple and stylish and I love them! I really hope they have more next weekend!

Yes, that does make sense.  My ex-father-in-law always put an extra hole in my watch bands so the watch would fit.
