Chinese beads revisited

You can often buy new re-released versions of that lock made by the original designer from the Diamonds4Ever website.

That is so very beautiful, elegant and opulent. It looks very classy

Wow, this bracelet IS beautiful and I like the Chinese silver with the lock - just BEAUTIFUL!

Have been admiring this a lot, I don't wear my china set often because the bright colors of the jades are really not my style (and I worry about the fading) but this is a fabulous alternative! It's absolutely beautiful and much more wearable. Wonder if it would be difficult to find 9 jaspers in different colors like yours....hmmm, this could be a new quest for me--thanks for the inspiration!

Your jaspers are lovely but I still like the original jades, faded and/or unfaded. My daughter spent a year teaching in Korea where she saw a lot of dyed jade so having beads whose color was enhanced doesn't bother me. After all I had "enhanced" hair for years.

Absolutely Lovely.

LOVE it! The soft colors make the detail in the Chinese silvers stand out. I also love my older jaspers for their subtle colors and elegant shapes.

I am agreeing with you again, Pond. I like the jades for all the reasons you mention including enhanced hair, and to add, they are part of the whole of the original design by the Chinese artists themselves. I like to honor that too.
again with your previous post, the silvers look good wherever they're used.
