the JADE thread!

AJMeow, things are really looking up!!

Here you go, crosso. This pic was taken with a flash as I've found that's the best way I can show patterns and mottling in dark jades. This is the side of her that inspired her name, Oil Slick.

Yes, that is the seller. Just be careful - some of the non-certified ones may be grade A, it is hard to tell, but there are definitely some treated ones too.

duly noted...thank you

Cool! I see what you mean now and the name is inspired and perfect!

Wearing my B-grade "imperial" jadeite bangle today. I've come to be a bit of a jade snob, I think and probably wouldn't knowingly buy a B-grade now - but knowing I could never afford a grade A bangle of this color and translucency, I enjoy this one!

 

[Junkenpo]

What a great color. I daydream about winning the lottery and after settling legalities going on a spending spree. I would buy all sorts of just that color jade, VCA onyx earclips, and a build a bowling alley and a restaurant. Lol.

Also love J4me's oil slick.

Here's something from a friend that I wore to work today.

baghera, what a great pic! When I was 14, I went on my first trip to the continental US and it was to DC. I love on location shots.

Two new arrivals today! Not great pics, but I'm sure I'll get around to taking more in the future ☺
First is "Largo". It really does look like the color of the water there, with the little blue bits like the sunlight flashing on the water and reflecting the sky.
And second is a rose carved ring, a lucky find, to match "La Vie en Rose"
I'm a happy girl today!

 

[crosso]

One more of Largo - such a pretty green/blue!

Congrats Crosso. They 're both beautiful, but the ring is really really special! Great match!

Thanks so much, Molly! I was pretty excited to find it and even more excited to see how they make a nice set 😍
