crosso, congrats on largo. she is so unique with the bits of blue. i havent seen anything like it before. LOVE IT!!!Another post on lighting and color - see how different Largo looks in different lights? The brightest was taken in bright sunlight. The others in fluorescent light (the darkest) and indirect sunlight/ fluorescent (the lightest). It is quite changeable - like the sea!
Today's jade: carved white and blue/green bangle with jadeite heart
What I've always loved about this forum is that we don't discriminate between what different people can afford or personal taste. I'm not comfortable with telling others to 'spend a little more' -- I think this should be a personal choice. I think there are different kinds of Jade for everyone -- so please, let's have more openness of mind and support on our lovely Jade forum.
Hi Red!
I think that's one of the rabbit holes of tPF... when I first started coming here I shopped at Ross for my jewelry and thought $50 was too much to spend on a purse. For purses, I peaked with LV and have a few H accessories. For jewelry, I stopped with vca... such a slippery slope!
But yes... what I love love love about jade is that there is beauty at EVERY price point and every single piece is unique. Some of my least expensive pieces are my most favorite to wear.
But! I do like to swap out my pieces a lot so I'm okay with a lot of variety in color, translucency, grain, stone lines, etc and that usually translates into a whole bunch of different price ranges. However, the more expensive the piece, the pickier I get. A person should definitely be okay with the balance of quality to price.
I definitely have pieces I think were bargains for their price... and sometimes I've stretched for a bangle that called to me and that's okay, too.

And here's a throwback pic just to show what I mean.

The middle one is now my always-on 24/7 bangle & is the most expensive one of all my bangles.
Left and right cost about the same. Left was my first bangle ever & although very opaque, is still my fave. Right has lovely even pale white & great translucency but a ton of internal flaws. I knew that before the purchase though, so I'm still pleased with the buy.
Here's an overhead shot and slightly different lighting.
