Faithgrace, the coarse grained lavender is so pretty! Rare to see a full lavender anywhere. Mostly I see lavender with other colors.

Another important way to pick out B, and B/C jade is to notice the color pattern. Natural jade has colors which are connected to the grain. The colors have often distinct boundaries, except for the invisible, extremely translucent, million dollar bangles. Even then, the colors are connected/related to what is happening with the grain, but because it's so hard to see the grain, the color just seems to exist. B jade with it's gelatinous, unclear grain structure seems to have floating colors. C dyes are often blurry, with blurry boundaries, no color roots.
 
Hi sisters, my hubby's grandma who is in her 90s joined us for CNY lunch yesterday. She was wearing a jade bangle that looked like a type B or C to me. My mil bought it for her fr a nearby market, and it looked totally dry and dull. Told my mil that I wld get a type A bangle for her mum so this morning, I went to UJ and got this baby. It's inexpensive; I paid SGD 190. What do you all think? Grandma is quite poor thing actually. She wanted to live in a home after the granddaughter whom she cared for since birth passed away at the age of 13 a few years ago. Since then, she hasn't been keen on any form of celebrations, birthdays/CNY. Hope this wld cheer her up! :)

This thread is a treasure with all the info and pictures to learn about jade qualities. I love it.

Thanks for the site link Faithgrace7! I wish I could see jade like this everyday.


Modeling pictures of Baby and Lippy! Conditions are outdoors, overcast, sun going down. I really like the look of the two thin bangles together. Not as pretty sounding as 2 of my thicker jades, but this is a very, very feminine look and a good balance for me since I'm so short with short forearms.

I can see where this would look absolutely divine with better color/grain/translucent jade.

I think its very beautiful, Daisyshadow! What an amazingly nice thing to do! You are the sweetest person to have done such a nice thing for her. I'm sure it will warm her heart and delight her eyes! Wow, just wow.
 
Gorgeous, Junkempo. They really look great as opaque bangles. They have a very special beauty. Almost reminds me of very fine ivory bangles!

Daisyshadow, my guess is that it is not color polished, but it's really hard to say, especially since I've only seen the one that 3jems got and returned. It doesn't seem to have the same pop of saturation at the surface in most pictures, but in one picture it kinda does. I guess I'm not much help. Curious what you and others think.

Daisy, i am so proud to have you as a jade sister. Your kindness to your hubby s grandma will be blessed. As for your bangle i suppose uj didn't mention anything about color polish? Picture 4 makes me a bit uncomfortable though, sorry to say. Perhaps it is the lighting.

Sorry, not picture 4. I meant picture 5. Between 3 to 6 o'clock
