The JADE thread!

Jadies, if you are interested this is an excellent webinar that I thought I'd share. It explains how jade is graded, the history of jade, what is the most important feature of jade that makes it valuable etc, etc, etc. Very interesting but long.

Thank you SM, for sharing this. It is so informative. Learnt a lot from this. I’m attaching the summary with a few screenshots for those who do not intend to view this whole video. I hope that’s ok here.

You’re most welcome :heart: So now it’s nephrite and Fei cui

No… it’s still jadeite, omphacite and maw sit sit. It’s good for sellers to be able to call them all fei cui since jadeite is more valuable and the other two will maybe raise in value by association. But it’s not beneficial for consumers and also I don’t think one webinar can redefine the names…
 
My Qiemo Hetian nephrite bangle arrived. Bought it after seeing Cynide Rose’s sharing of her bangle mod shots. Here are mine in different lighting. In darker environment, it looks like it has a light green tinge of glow. Bangle has one side glossy and one side matte finishing. Like getting two in one. Thanks for sharing @Cynide Rose. Love it.

It looks amazing on you szu :smile: I’m so glad you like it. I love the tone in different lighting, with indoor lighting being my fave. I also love your two tone bracelet. The yellow is so rich. Beautiful szu and you are so welcome ☺

Received my bangle!! Loving the shape, size and color. Thought of keeping it for special occasions but ended up wearing it everyday so I can enjoy it . Even during hiking ! Although I am also now extra mindful of my arm

Absolutely love your new bangle J. Congrats! It's so hard to find one that checks all the boxes. I came very close but the width was not ideal for me.

Thank you Juju ! Agree about it being hard to find one that checks all our boxes. That’s one of the cool things about jade that it is almost like selecting one’s wedding dress; it’s personal and unique in many ways. And Yes Width and thickness is something that can make a lot of difference . Hope you find your “check all the boxes” bangle soon
