Yes, there are jade pieces out there, but it's been a *long* time.... IMO, VCA jade was very light & milky, with murmers of slight brown occasionally. All of the pieces I've seen have unfortunately shrunk quite a bit, so it seems like it was a delicate, temperamental material for sure.
Well that’s unfortunate! I didn’t know jade was so fickle, it always seemed like a sturdy stone to me.

I thought so, too! But every single piece I have seen has definitely experienced shrinkage. I think, at least for me anyhow, I kind of accept the fact that VCA pieces will carry a certain amount of shrinkage. I am ok with it - it's just part of the patina and character. :)
 
I really want something in rose gold and blue that isn't porcelain (like lapis) or something purple like a pastel amethyst.

I would love if lapis could be the Holiday Pendant this year. Below is my Limited Edition Lapis/pave........I would 100% love to have a 2020 Holiday Pendant however it was used in the past. Below is a photo of it (not mine) and a photo of my Anniversary Lapis/Pave 20 motif.
