Mewt- your FIL has a wonderful collection! I agree with Essiedub, I like the more modern contemporary designs. Definitely post more pics when you can of his collection. We all love seeing the eye candy [emoji517]!
Your gold & jade bangles are beautiful together.
Hello and welcome to the new ones here!
Miznina your bangle is pretty. Does it chime when tapped? That’s one indicator. Also UV light- no glowing. Specific gravity test would positively identify it but it’s my understanding that equipment is pricey. The color looks like lemon/lime and translucent. Very pretty.
Dingobeast your fur babies are precious!
Cookiefiend- beautiful pieces! Really like the segment bracelet.
Uli- your new carved bracelet piece is so pretty. Love the soft color & it looks great with your cuff. I personally prefer it with the white beads. But that’s just me.
Here is some pics I wanted to share of the pendant that was carved from the center piece of my Siberian Nephrite bangle so now I have a matched set. The beads are green quartz. I would love to redo the necklace like the beautiful black jade beaded necklace in Mewt’s FIL’s collection (1st picture). I need to figure out how to do the double sliding knot on that one.

The flower carving is so intricate and beautiful. Such a gorgeous set! I love this deep rich green nephrite. [emoji7]
Miznina this is the bangle I have that is similar in colour to yours. Under certain lighting it appears more white and sometimes it is a pale green. The problem is I don’t think it’s jadeite. It is either treated jade or some other stone altogether. My MIL bought this for me when she went to Thailand and China ( forget which country she bought this from)
I’ve been wearing my black nephrite lately. It goes with everything

More pics of my black nephrite which I wore with my lavender jadeite ring today as well as a couple of picks of my lavender bangle.
One more pic - my jade ring from my dad when I got married along with earrings my parents bought me for my birthday many years ago
The earrings are lighter in colour in real life.

Purse Nut your stacks are tdf! How cool that your bracelet was from the 1940’s with a romantic story attached. It goes well with the romantic blue grey of your bangle.
Kiwi jade [emoji6]Beautiful Siberian nephrite Purse Nut. You are rockin both wrists today! [emoji7]
Thank you on your compliment by the way. The stud earrings are one of my first pieces of jade. I picked it out myself for my birthday which for a young girl of 19 or 20 was “ unusual” since jade was considered very traditional back then.

They are both lovely - especially the black one!
Can you explain why you think the white isn’t jadeite?
I looked at mine - the white with green flowers - and by magnifying with my trusty iPhone cameras I can see what I think is green feathery dye. Daggnabbit!
(Completely my opinion but based on some studying online through a gem site that showed pictures)
I’m fascinated by these conversations!
Wow - the lavender is gorgeous!
I was 20 or 21 when o got my green nephrite bead and earring set. Wore it a lot too. We got nite by the jade big young!
