Jade Necklaces/Pearls

[MAGreen]

There is one lavender bangle left, it is a large. The Chocolate pearl/agate/amber 3 layer necklace, I have a set with a necklace, ring, brooch, and earrings, all with white pearls. There's a 3 layer necklace with blue crystal, and fushia pearls. 2 pair dangle heart earrings. Malaysian jade heart pendant with matching dangle earrings. I have also been debating about passing along a couple strands of jade beads I got. One has large beads and is mostly white and green, but it has hints of lavender in sunlight. The other has smaller beads but it is an amazing mix of white, yellow, brown (which is the outer part of the jade stone), and several variations of green. It doesn't have any pattern, just random beads, but it's very natural and beautiful. The pair of them was $60, $30 each plus shipping if anyone is interested. They are very heavy, so shipping for them will be $3 each. I think that's it for now...I will dig and see if there is anything else in my bin!

Mary Ann,
I may be interested in the jade beads with the yellow in them.  Do you have a picture by any chance?

My pearl and earring set arrived today! I can't wait to wear them - they are so unique. My coworkers will be quite jealous! Thanks so much for doing this for us!

I'll take the large lavender bangle if its still available (if it is, its meant to be, right??  )

I am also very interested in the large pearl strand you just mentioned (with the hint of lavender in the sunlight).  Can you post a picture and tell me how long it is?  I'll send the gift card tomorrow evening once we figure out the total, if that's ok.

[MAGreen]

The jade beads are both about 30" long, I think of them more as a decor item than jewelery. You could easily wear them, but they are heavy and long. The one with smaller beads wouldn't be bad to wear, but the larger ones would becon uncomfortable quickly! I am uploading pictures now. I will be back to post them in a few minutes

[MAGreen]

Not the greatest pictures, these are the smaller beads.
 


These are the larger beads, there's no sunshine today, so no luck catching the lavender tint. That's my sons hand, he was trying to help mommy take pictures!

My jade bangle (the one with the spot!) arrived yesterday...  it's gorgeous, and nice to hold (cool to the touch, and smooth, and heavy).... I really like it....   and <sigh> <sniff> it doesn't fit.   

It's a small... and I double-checked the bracelets I have, and they are also small, and measure the same length as the circumference of the bangle (in some cases less), so it would fit fine on my wrist, but my knuckles are too big for it to go over.   

I guess I'll give it to DD when she's a bit older.  Or to a very petite friend, though I'm not sure whether she likes jade.  Until then, I'll use it as a lovely paperweight on my desk. 

Thanks Mary Ann, I really do like it....  totally my fault for not considering that a closed bangle needs to be a bigger size than a bracelet with a fastener!

 
For future reference....  are the S-M-L sizes standardized, and if so, could you post the inner diameter and/or circumference sometime?  I have no idea whether I'd need medium or large, and don't want one to be too big either.

Mary Ann,
My black pearls and the God of Longevity arrived today.  The pearls are pretty, but I am ecstatic about the God of Longevity.  Thank you so much for doing this and for packaging it so carefully.  I'm in love!

Sure....I will make list of what's left (there's not much!) and post it in the morning...or this evening for you in the states! I do still have that large tiger's eye bracelet available!

Sorry for asking for this, but I am so confused with what's available or not and some of the pics seem to disappear (maybe when these items are no longer for sale?).

Oh, that sucks, I have two that are just a bit too small for me, but I keep them in a display with the rest of my jade. Did you try lotion? Sometimes that will allow it to slide right over the knuckles, and keep your hand relaxed when you slip it on. Otherwise, you can take it to a jeweler and have it hinged so it can be worn like any other bracelet. I can slip that one on, but it is a little tight.
The sizes aren't standard at all! It's just whatever they can pull from the jade. I will make sure to check the diameter and post it from now on.

I am so happy to hear that! I loved him too, and it was hard to part with him, but a) there just wasn't any more room on my shelf, and b) I do so love passing on some of my great finds! I really can't afford everything I want to have, but this way I got to buy him, love him and pass him on to a loving home! Can't wait till you see the next package! You're going to love little Buddha!

I am sorry about that, I cleaned out my photobucket account and forgot that it would mean the pictures would go away on here. I will get a new list, with prices, and pictures in the next day or two and have it posted for you all! It's time to clean out some of my boxes, so I may find some hidden treasures too. I have about 6 jewelery boxes that I have gotten from the auction on my dresser and they are getting too full from some of my finds. I know there is at least one up there that's sterling with opal in it, that I got for me, but I just don't ever wear it. And there are a couple strands of pearls that I don't wear...well, I will dig everything out and get pictures. I hate having the stuff sitting around collecting dust (figuratively, I take care of my pretties!) and would much rather they go to someone who will love them!

I got my black pearls yesterday.  I love it.  Thank you, and for the bag too.

oh, oh, oh...could I see the sterling silver opal please?

Great idea with the lotion, but unfortunately it doesn't work.   But I didn't know it would be possible to have it hinged...   will have to consider that...  though I like the perfect smoothness the way it is right now, so maybe I'll just keep it on my desk as-is until it finds a permanent home.

These are a few pairs of earrings I got. They are $3 including shipping. Some are jade, there's rose quartz, onyx, and one pair that has jade, quartz, and agate.


These are horn bracelets. They are made from the horn of Buffalo! Very pretty and they shine the more you wear them, the natural oils in your skin acts like a polish! ($11 each)


Rose earrings, very neat! There's also a another pair, with a dragon design. $7 each


Australian Opal, set in sterling silver. I should have set a quarter next to them, they are fairly small, but beautiful! The heart would be great for a young girl. Dolphin ($30) Heart ($27)


You can get some idea of the size of the Opal pieces here. The heart necklace and earrings are Malaysian Jade. Very pretty! ($22)
Gold plated elephant with his trunk up to bring luck, ($5)


The palm tree is made of Italian glass ($17), The pearls come with a matching set of earrings ($9), The one next to it is a two layer necklace with white gold plate, there is a small butterfly design on it, very pretty ($13), Blue jade with dolphin!($17), Dangling heart earrings ($7 both)


Mulit strands! Blue and fushia ($25) and Chocolate with amber colored crystals and agate rounds in three colors (Green, yellow, red) I have this one for a while and I really don't remember what I paid for it so let's say $5!


The first set is Italian glass with matching earrings ($35) and the second set is ring, brooch, necklace, and earrings ($17)

I will be going to the auction this weekend, and trying to pick up some more jade. They are supposed to have a new shipment and I am really excited! I already told my hubby I would be taking the credit card this time...he he he.

[Dana]

Oooh.... I would like to have the two layer white gold plated butterfly necklace!  

Also interested in a buffalo horn bracelet if they'll fit a size 7 inch wrist.........

I am interested in the triple pearl necklace and earrings.  I've been watching your posts wondering if this was for real.  Now, you've drawn me in too.  I am sending you a PM.
Thanks,

I received my necklaces today...triple strands in both white and pink and the jade knot.  I love them!  Thanks for the bag, too!  I am interested in some black pearls if you see any this weekend...either triple strands or single.   

Thanks!

I love the glass heart earrings.  How much are they?

[Susan in VA]

Got my package today!  The purple three-strand necklace is simply beautiful, the photo didn't begin to do it justice!  Thank you, Mary Ann.   

[GreenThumb]

I got the long strand of peach pearls and the Mongolian silver bracelets today!  Gorgeous, as always!  Thank you again, Mary Ann!

Hi Mary Ann!

Rec'd the small jade knot today and it's even more pretty in person!  I can't wait to wear it.
The length is perfect.  I was hoping to wear it shorter on the neck and I can!
