Wow your pendant has strong colors with the red and yellow...strong feeling like fire dragon! The bangle is a great neutral and will go well with any color! Cant wait for mod pics :smile1:

Today's jade, an opaque light lavender carved bangle and mandarin ducks pendant and my first bangle ever, a grade b from SF Chinatown (before I knew anything about jade - it was much too expensive! - but sparked my love for jade and prompted me to learn more ☺)

Beautiful soft colors...the pendant looks so pretty against your white top and the carved bangle goes well with it too. Even your treated bangle is a pretty lavender. Looking good :tup:

Hi jademommy! You can tell if you look at it in the light - showing a pic so others,can learn what to look for. See how the color is concentrated in little threadlike fissures? That is,where the stone was weakened from bleaching and filled with polymer/dye. Compare to this one, where there is a concentration of color in one area, but it is not a stark change, it is more like a diffused cloud of color.

Crosso, did you get the 2nd one? From Etsy? Because it looked like the one I was debating on.

Thanks, DG! I'm really looking forward to the hinged one (from same seller as your Mings ) in the comparison post though as my first truly lavender grade a with some color to it. It's not quite my dream lavender (that would be Silver Mom's princess), but I like it a lot! May have it by the end of the week, I hope !

I received my inky jadeite pendant from JoJo yesterday. I'm in love, it's so mysterious looking. It looks black, but when you shine a strong light through it you can see the green color. Sorry I can't get rid of the glare, but just imagine the same pretty green color throughout the whole pendant.

So lovely, zipcount, you must be thrilled! It's amazing how bright the green is under light, but so inky otherwise. It's like a color change stone, so cool!

Beautiful and so perplexing with its darkness. The shape is unique and looks lovely on you
