This was a hand me down jadeite donut from my mother in law . So I made a drawing of how I wanted a white gold clip to be customized to be worn this way . I don’t wear a lot of green usually . But I like the modern vibe it has after setting .

I love your design for the donut and it is very modern. The design along with the person wearing it makes it modern and cool [emoji41]
Gorgeous as always Bernie.

I got this pendant a while ago. Stopped wearing it as it feels heavy. My neck feels tired. Anyone experienced the same prob?

This is lovely, very clean looking . I always have this obsession with peaches .I think u should try and get a thicker necklace for it . Then you possibly feel less of the “chain eating into skin” due to the weight of the bangle !

First world jade problems lol! I only have one jade pendant and it’s not big so I can’t relate:) I can imagine this would be too heavy as an everyday bangle but definitely wear it sometimes as it is too stunning to sit in a jewellery box. [emoji6]

Bernie I appreciate this post as I totally get what you are saying and I agree. I may be inferring my own opinions on your post but I think I get exactly what you are saying.
It is good when a seller discloses flaws but it is not enough. They should lower the price fairly and saying that the price is already lowered does NOT mean that it is. At least not by general industry standards. Ultimately it is a personal choice and decision whether or not to buy.

It’s good to share lol . I hope you don’t find me too long winded ..

I think there’s fantastic jade to be had for every price range . And some enjoy looking at the rustic feel of. Jade with more minerals showing .

But. I feel it’s important to know what we are all paying for and happy to pay for . So we can continue to enjoy jadeite with our mind at ease and less what ifs . Lol very wordy . But I m really still learning how pricing and stuff works . When buying !

Thanks for bearing with me haha

I just want to share something interesting. Not sure if you all remember I have a lavender bangle with deep purple bits. Well, I’ve been wearing it 24/7 for a period of time now and interestingly, I noticed these translucent spots started appearing. They were not there before.

The overall color has also evened out. Anyone else had this experience? View attachment 4021085

Yeah I remember this bangle . It looks more watery now than when u first purchased it .

Does anyone else experience this effect with their bangles . I think the bluey icy which is like the one I m most comfy with . It seems more moist after wearing for months . It’s my favorite go to because it’s oval and quite comfy . Easy pastel match too for clothes .

It should be fairly interesting for all of us to observe the change and post our findings .

The ngi gemologist doesn’t seem to think so scientifically . But I have at least at dozen friends who share anecdotally how their jade look way better and more moist than when they first purchase it .
 
A really great setting for a modern looking donut!! The white gold and jade is a beautiful combination as well

Haha thanks. I like green but can’t do too much of it so wearing a bluey bangle ..

What’s your pick today Fraba do share ! And if you come to Sg . There are other brick and Mortar jade shops we can recommend too . Not bad actually too .

Thanks bernie! I would love to come to Singapore not just because of the Jadeite it seams a really interesting city/country as well. In Asia I “only” have been once to Japan. I really liked it but wasn’t into Jade then so can’t comment on it. My husbands family is from South America so we go there once a year, this limits a bit the second vacation [emoji23] but maybe in the future...
 
Oh no. Jade peach pendants are very beautiful. I have a few smaller ones and they received many compliments from friends.

The jade on your profile is very interesting. Where did you buy it? In fact, I love carved pendants.

Thanks jadelover! Ok will not give up hope for finding a beatiful carved pendant which is comfortable to wear.. the pendant in my avatar is from an Etsy shop called JewelryNaturalGoods. It came with an certification and as for Color and weight seemed genuine to me..
