The JADE thread!

[Icyjade]

What a beautiful collection! I love the whites, so classy!

WOW!! You have a splendid collection! I love jade & diamonds. Those carved icy jade & diamond earrings are so beautiful!!! Your collection is so classic!! I'm jelly!! LOL

You have a very icy and amazing collection. [emoji7]

Thank you ladies! Didn’t realize my collection is “classic” but ok I like simple cabs and settings so classic is good. And I like icy/glassy jade a lot.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately given the price tags of the ones I obsess over) I still don’t have many bangles due to my man hands and preference for princess style bangles... so jelly when I see all the pretty bangles shared here.

So pretty! Aweome collection. I like how you can have them displayed like that. It would make picking through my jewelry so mcuh fun and feel more like shopping your own collection. That flower though....! Is it a ring or a brooch or a pendant? I would love something like that. Does the seller have an online shop? PM me if so, please.

No... hahaha I just use the props for photo taking. They are usually kept in velvet trays in stacked drawers. I’ll love a nice “Jewellery counter” at home but that’s not likely to happen.

The flower is a pendant but comes in ring form as well. I especially love this one. Still available but yellow looks horrid on me. If you get something pls share with us! Pm you in a bit.

Sure. I think I must have shared on the other forum if not also here anyway.

1. Kathy Jade
Online I go for Kathy Jade. It’s also Koojade on eBay but I think their website is cheaper.

https://www.kathyjade.com/Store/Web...gory&key=8f596982-4dca-443b-b8db-1224d435719a

If you are on the Line app you can also try their biweekly online auctions.

Great returns policy - I’ve returned several items before so I can vouch for it.

Photos can turn out better than actual item but usually is a fair representation. And like I’ve said returns are excellent.

2. All About Jade (AAJ)
I’m in Singapore so I use the site more for browsing of new stock than buying (since I prefer to check out irl) but if you are overseas then the site is best. Has a returns policy as well but obviously I haven’t tried since I’ve always gone down to the store to look/see irl.

https://www.allaboutjade.com.sg/

Photos are not glamorized so I would say there isn’t over representation of the item. At least nothing surprising when I see irl vs website.

They do have way more stock than on the site so if you are looking for something I think no harm to msg n check if they have something you are looking for. Eg they always have a pile of barrels but I only see a few on the site.

3. Others
I also buy from other local jewellers but they don’t have a strong web presence.

If you are after classic designs, I think Kathy Jade and AAJ should be able to provide quite a few temptations.

Oh my gosh I really love this. Any chance that the seller has any sister bangles left?

Hi , this is from HK , this variety is call 蓝水翡翠 in Cantonese . I got it through my mother in law ‘s regular seller in Hk . She’s going to join her family Canada soon , so it depends on if she’s going on anymore buying trips to Myanmar ( Burma ) or she might retire for good .



Pictured here with any icy one oval . Thanks for the compliments ! I do love the unique intense bluish green . It like it’s got chatoyancy when there’s sufficient light . And rather deep green when it’s darker !

By the way love all your jade . So lovely the greens and the icy and all so translucent !

My collection has expanded quite a bit and was going through them today so I can take stock of what I already have and not buy more of the same...

And altogether with a purple pendant that I love:

I’m thinking purples or bluish ones will be nice, but then I don’t mind more of certain shades of green too... or maybe some “red” jadeite?

Beautiful blues Bernie! That oil blue is stunning.

Yes , this was a fluke purchase . I like the intense color but it look quite deep in the original pics . Was surprised , it would work with my skin tone . I m usually an icy white type of gal because it’s easy to wear them without thinking if they would be matchy with my clothes and stuff . But this oil blue is quite interesting . Like a chameleon . Goes from deep dark green indoors to a translucent green in good lighting . Thanks sweets !

It’s stunning on you as is all of your pieces. I think I’ve said this before but you have lovely skin Bernie and everything you wear looks great on you [emoji6]. I’ve yet to see an oval princess in real life but it looks like a interesting shape.

I’m waiting for my son ‘s swim class to be over and took a couple of pics hoping the other parents don’t notice and think I’m weird lol!

You know , I m always looking like a looney while in the queue at supermarkets at the cashier for my turn [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Or when I take my son swimming at the pool and he’s practicing his frog kicks ...

Taking pictures of how jade looks in different lighting has become a pastime !

I like the orange patch in second . Because I have thin wrist , the thicker bangles feels heavy on me . Though I like them on you , very bold . First one has interesting green flecks . Where you are , where do you shop for jadeite ?

Lol yes and even worse is when I try to get a better look at other people’s bangles without them knowing.
They are the same bangle - just different sides. Most of the time I buy my jade at stores in Markham (Toronto) since we have some reputable jade stores here but this one is from Ultimate Jadeite. First time I bought from them and I’m happy with the purchase and with their customer service.
You and I have similar bangle size. I find there isn’t a big selection for the slimmer daintier bangles. This one looks beastier in the pics. It’s actually about 14 mm.

I need to check into a ‘Jade Rehab’ fast! My hubby can’t know about this purchase! Here she is...... Burmese jadeite bracelet ‘ moss in the snow’ Pictures doesn’t do it justice. The white glows next to green and it’s BEAUTIFUL
