The JADE thread!

[berniechocolate]

I have a sky bluish oval jade bangle which I shared here quite often .

I have always loved that bangle and wished I m able to get one in that icy bluish variety in princess round. But everytime I see one that I like in princess round, it’s always the wrong size for me .

Finally found one , and thought about this for quite a long time before I took the plunge.

51 mm princess round . This one , is not as icy as the oval one I have . But I m happy it’s translucent and fine grain enough . I will try to take a picture of both the bluish oval with this round another time, when there’s good daylight .

Thanks dear ,will share some comparison shots soon . Can’t travel so putting the $$$ in jade purchase instead.

Super gorgeous Bernie!

Thanks Sweets ! Yes they never do . I lost my shih tzu 2019 July but feel he is still with us . We kept his ashes instead of scattering at the seas because we think he would have wanted to come home !

Sunny has got piercing green eyes !

Blue vs oval ( wearing the princess round )


Oval


Bottom : princess round. Top : oval

Oval is more icy than round . Princess is thicker but have some clouds .



Round and oval .

I will have to find sometime soon to bring to the gemologist to get it certified. I was told by my hk seller that the princess round is from the same Boulder as my oval that was cut from.

Is this thread strictly for jadeite and nephrite or do we include all the stones that historically have been included under the name "jade"? Just asking because I have two cute carvings I would need an opinion on but they're not actual jade but something that I'm told used to be called "chu yu" or "red jade" aka in this case carnelian agate. I know there is an actual red jadeite so I am not entirely sure of that chinese word but in any case, I'm told agate used to be included as "beautiful stone".

I tried to find if there was a topic for different kinds of gemstones that are not part of the usual fine gems like diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald etc. but not sure where to post things like these.

Gemology narrows down 2 natural stones to be “ jade “ , nephrite 碧玉 & jadeite 翡翠 . And both seems to be a valued in Chinese history and heritage . They are appreciated & enjoyed by many different cultures and folks of many nationalities .

I see what you mean when you say “jade 玉 is an all encompassing term” for many other gems , like carnelian, agate as well as chalcedony “ .

Not sure what the guidelines are , but we regularly model or match our jade or nephrite with other jewelry or bracelets here. As can be seen by some of the gorgeous stack the ladies here pair with their other gel bracelets , or otherwise .

I think cool to discuss here as well , whether it’s carnelian or other stones too . Much easier to read it here rather than creating too many threads about other stones termed under “jade “using the same terminology .
