SD, what do you mean 'I realised I took this picture as if the bangle were D shaped'?

Love the white Hetian! The clover has such a pretty green!

Thanks so much! A princess round should be photographed showing off its circular profile since it's quite tallish and has the same width as its height. D shapes are wider than their height and hence, better to take its photo where we can see the width.

You're so fortunate to have these gifted to you! I especially love the pi/donut shaped one with the beautiful green in it.

Hmm, I have to keep in mind the accidental knocks that can happen as I continue my bangle search. I need think about what I'm comfortable wearing without having a heart attack each time I accidentally bang it.

I feel like I don't own these, I feel like I've been trusted to keep them and treasure them if that makes sense. The pi disc is my favourite one too, I swear it is turning more translucent the more it is worn. I don't know if I should care for these pieces in some special way, I've only washed them with some really mild soap water and occasionally a light rub with jojoba oil but that's it. The big one is really a statement piece so I struggle to find an occasion to wear it and when I do, I feel like I stole it from the empress or something... :lol:

I'm slightly obsessed with jade now. I'd love to buy some pieces but I know how difficult it is to find genuine jade and if it is genuine, the prices are very high. My husband doesn't quite understand my infatuation with jewellery (then again, he fails to understand so many other obsession too, like bags, shoes... :P) but he hasn't really looked at a piece of jade or a lovely ruby.

Thanks so much! I got that from Ultimate Jadeite (UJ). It's a size US 5.5. UJ is based in Singapore but I bought online by contacting her directly on Etsy where she has a virtual shop. You can also view items at her apartment in person

Very amazing necklace . The carver literally have to carve every nook and cranny well and polish it well to fashion into a chain necklaces .

Changed to a white Hetian princess round. At 58mm, this is slightly big for me. Glad I have the FOPEs to position it. I realised I took this picture as if the bangle were D shaped, lol! Well, it was too hot to go outside again for another picture haha

I love this new 8-leaf clover pendant. Here are pics of it with some sunlight and without

Thanks so much! It’s supposed to be Mui Fa Lok. Does that mean it’s old mine green? I’m so fascinated by it. Normally such pieces only pop up at this jeweller during Chinese New Year so imagine my surprise when I saw it this month, amongst some emeralds, lol! I then found out it’s a “green stone” month at the store :D

The ring is from UJ. It’s the finest ring that I own. I wear it sparingly as I don’t have a ring guard for it but now that it’s WFH, I should be wearing it more often :D

Are the earrings from qeelin? Beautiful!!
Click to expand...

Thanks so much! Yes, they’re from Qeelin. I fell in love with them early this year and waited 3 months for it to come to Malaysia. When it finally did, they launched the Wulu Legend (WL) line on the same day and my head was spinning thinking of which earrings to get. Then I found out they had only 1 piece of the WL earring that I wanted. Sensing a lockdown was coming, I then decided to get this pair that I’d waited for all along and not wait anymore. Glad I did! They have a good vibe

Wearing the orange jade pendant , with a thin icy white bangle ( it’s easy to remove although it’s tiny at 54/47 , because the width is thin , it’s still okie to get it on and off the right hand fairly easily )

The icy jadeite wings was a birthday present from the mil a couple of years back , but I decided to just let my son wear it over the school holidays.

don’t worry ! We are all here because the men don’t quite “ get it “ .
This affliction with jewelry .

I used to think jade is old fashioned . But I think it’s a big part of my Chinese heritage and it’s not difficult to wear the ones that comes in variety that would suit me .

It’s really cool we can share about it here . Else I will get a dozen eye roll asking him for opinions because everything looks the same to him . lol

Hello everyone! New in this thread (and haven't actually posted on this whole forum for a while) but lately I've gotten so enthusiastic about jade after I remembered I have two mysterious pendants in my jewellery box. They were gifted to me by my husband's grandmother years and years ago and she told me they were jadeite from Burma.

No idea if they really are but they do feel cold, slightly heavy and make a sort of a "ping" clinking sound if I tap them with a silver pendant. They have these really tiny abrasions on the surface if you look very closely but mostly seem glossy, if a bit soapy. I love to touch them, they feel pleasant between the fingers. I have accidentally dropped them on the floor several times during the years (and been horrified) and knocked them against a door handle or whatnot but there's never been even a scratch after that. It's very hard to photograph them as my phone camera cannot quite catch the sort of cotton wool like graininess inside the stone. They look different depending on the light but mostly they're white with some apple green.

They came to me without cords but I've added cords to them so I'd finally wear them. Whatever they are, they are very pretty and I like them regardless. I'd love to know though if they are the real deal!

these are so pretty . Reminds me of what empresses would wear. You could get the gemologist to have a look on these gorgeous pieces.
