Thanks for the welcome and compliment! Also I really do this mostly cause having them under my pillow just helps me sleep which has so far helped me, especially since my mother has done it with similar results.
Oh and I'm currently saving up to get a lavender + apple green Bi jade to get it somewhere in November since it'll cost $500-$600. Here's a picture for reference on how it looks like (there isn't any brown on the outer ring of the Bi for the one i'm planning to get)

So unfortunately, the thread for my jade bracelet broke when I was about to pop them off for a wash... Now knowing jade, they're incredibly tough so they were left unscathed. But now I can't find that one bead that fell out due to the bracelet having 16 beads, it pulled a Houdini on me lol.
Oh and here's another picture of a jade pendant my father owned and has it studded with a 18K White Gold chains and frame. Interestingly enough, he has told me it has a cert, but shining a long wave UV light showed a very small crack on it's back (Now seeing it without the UV light was actually barely noticeable too). I've read earlier forum posts here that regards it as either wax residue seeping into the cracks, thus forming the blue glow underneath.

Sorry that this has happened to your bead bracelet and hope that you can find the missing bead. I didn't know that putting jade under one's pillow helps with sleep! I should try that
Thanks!
No worries and my mother found it hiding in one of the carpets, so i'm planning to use a silk thread to make a bracelet out of them instead of using those plastic rubber threads to lower the risk of it breaking again.Sorry that this has happened to your bead bracelet and hope that you can find the missing bead.

Also you should try it! Apparently Jades are good dream enhancers and can help you lucid dream.
U can try to restring it . But see if u could use 4 stretchable threads to do it , so even if one breaks then rest will still hold it in place . I bought some beads like this for my Dad . But it’s onyx . Every month or so I get it restrung for him because regular wearing , wears the the thread down . 
Yeah I could, but the thought of having to restring it everytime and possibly mess up the way the jade beads were ordered around triggers my inner-OCD, heck, I even have a picture of how my beads were organized just so I can (hopefully) organize it to the way it originally looked when I first purchased it.
Here's an incredibly small bangle my mother used to wear, currently hanging around as a decoration really, as my mother's wrist has now outgrown it. Most likely vintage as well since it's been with her throughout her youth as she's now in her mid 40s. 
Now I can't say if it's Grade A but it hasn't glowed in long wave UV, has some heft to it, and has a light crisp clink that resonated alittle when struck with another piece of jade. I could try to get it certified but I don't know any place to get it verified near Brooklyn at least lol.

Late post but here's a gourd pendant my mother was initially going to wear but the gourd fell off the string when she was showering with it on, so she stopped wearing it for now.
The blue green gives off a cool look with the specs of impurity. Unfortunately the beads dangling below the gourd glowed under UV, 2 were glowing white blue, other 3 were glowing green and had unnatural green veins surfacing on top, so they were dyed
Other than that, the gourd is really cute and may be suitable as a charm too. (Oh and my tri-colored bead bracelet is fixed, yay!)

So 2 days ago, my mother discreetly spent $80 (with bargain since without it, was $100 more) for a Pixiu carving from a antique shop(?) that definitely has alot of historical Asian sculptures and carvings, now I really don't know if it's Hetian/Mutton Fat nephrite jade, it has the feeling and heft of nephrite though, "glowed" a light green hue in warm lighting, has a fine grain with some barely noticeable stone lines underneath it's belly but not on the surface, and didn't fluoresce in long wave UV. I'm getting my kitchen scale for SG testing either today or tomorrow so I'll definitely find out soon.
Such a nice gift! Good luck with SG testing, it’s quite lovely!
Really pretty cyaniderose! I’m really liking these clear icy pieces. Are these Jadeite (or nephrite)? Also your bead bracelet has a stylized look with the occasional bigger bead. Nice design and color. That green! Sadly that bright green just doesn’t look great on me..dunno.Good Afternoon Jadies! Just sharing what I have been wearing latelyHave a great day!
