Your ring is gorgeous! I love the simple design - lets the jade shine. Beautiful and so awesome that your grandpa made this ring.
In the mean time, here is my first bangle, Fog. I think dainty princess bangles (this one is only 8mm) look better on my View attachment 4298018 wrist. I like Fog's subtle energy and colors which are very calming for a meditative state, but I am still looking for an everyday bangle. I just ordered a D shaped one. Hope it arrives soon!
Welcome Jadeitebear! This dainty princess looks like it was made for you . I would love to see your d shape bangle when it arrives and hear how it compares to wearing a princess for you.
Thank you, 2boys_jademommy! I will update you on the fit.
Here is a pic from the seller of my new bangle on the way. It has a dark green spot (not visible here) which I love and the certificate says lavender and green. I am curious to see how the lavender turns out under different lighting after reading posts here about the moodiness of lavender jadeite. Even if it looks mostly white, I still like it since I got my offer on it accepted, hehe.

As promised.....Here is my great grandmother's jade/pearl ring. I was told she wore this ring daily without taking it off. Due to the softness of the gold, it eventually covered the pearls and formed into a "square" shaped ring.

Beautiful! I love the buttery deep yellow of high karat gold. How lovely to have such a meaningful piece handed down. I'm looking forward to this with my pieces. I've been acquiring/culling my collection thinking about what would cherished and continued to be handed down vs. sold by next generations.
On my wish list is high karat gold hoops, but I keep getting distracted by jade.
Ooooh, can't wait to see them.
The jade ring and jade bracelet are favorites of mine....I was allowed to wear the bracelet to parties when I was young. Now I need to add links, it's a bit snug.

I love the vintage design and the the colour is so vivid against the bright yellow gold. Thank you so much for sharing this special ring.

How glamorous your pieces look together The pearl and jade bracelet is beautiful - you should definitely add a link so you can wear it anytime you want and that ring is gorgeous.
Gorgeous jade pieces, ladies! I especially love the vintage & antique pieces!!
I have several pieces that are in need of adjusting, reset and mounting.
Edit to add first pic taken with "warm" chosen and second pic is natural colour.

Very beautiful Jademommy!!! I love rose gold. Completely understand about how you felt upon first seeing them - I've definitely been there, but I'm glad you've developed a connection to them! They're lovely and the jade stone is beautifully polished too - very nice and delicate.
Thank you NephriteGoddess for your kind words. I typically try and avoid online jade purchase for this very reason - that often the image we have in our minds do not match reality. I was actually deciding between these and a pair of Ming's black jade earrings and chose these as they are smaller / easier to wear everyday.
