First post here. Am quite overwhelmed with all the wealth of information you all have shared, as well as the photographs of your gorgeous jade pieces - I lOVE them all!!! The few jade pieces that I own are of terrible quality, most likely B or C, or probably not even jade, but these are all very cheap pieces. The only one that probably is of A quality is a jadeite button bought at a really fancy jade store in China years ago, when I quickly realized that it was probably the only thing I could afford.It's languishing in a drawer because I have no idea what to do with it - was thinking of setting it into a pendant or a bracelet, but I am stumped for ideas.
I realize this is a jade bangle forum, and I'm truly sorry to create a little digression. Would appreciate it if anyone can kindly post a picture of their jade buttons, be it in a pendant, bracelet, etc.
Finally, (and I'm sorry if this has been addressed in these two threads), does anyone have any good recommendations on where to find good quality jadeite bangles in Hong Kong? I am going there in June, and the only thing I know is where not to go, and that's the Jade Market.
Thank you!
Welcome gelatolover, glad you are joining us. Here is a picture of my jade button that I had made to match my blue bangle. Couldn't find an exact color match but this is the closest match I could find.
