The JADE thread!

Congrats! Gorgeous celadon and stack! Is that a Cartier trinity bracelet? I’m into Cartier lately as you can tell lol. Take sunny pix when you can!

Thanks so much! Yes, it's a Cartier Trinity which I bought online since the lockdown here means that the boutique is closed. Hope to go to the boutique soon. So far my pieces have all been online purchases since I started being interested in their jewellery during this lockdown haha. I will try to take sunny pics tomorrow

I know right! Lockdown makes us do crazy things Here, we are not lockdown. Just restricted activities like no dining out. So I could still visit the boutique. Hope you get to go to the boutique soon.. it’s another slippery slope just like jade! I was on the Cartier thread and the folks there think my jade bangle overpowers the slim JUC and I should get the regular size one. Lol

Oh yes, I saw the comments and I don’t think so. I think the slim JUC complements your jade bangle. I think the overall width of the JUC as a whole looks the same as the width of your bangle… So that doesn’t seem overpowering to me…

Icy white with jadeite beads of various shades. Wearing them after they been oiled in baby oil and given a soak in water .

Your bangle and bead bracelet looks beautiful. I've never oiled or soaked my jade and am wondering if I should? Is this something that I should do annually? I have several jade bangles and can't get to them all.

Thank you Smokie! I think the slim JUC looks good with the jade bangle by itself but somehow it doesn’t pair so well with the slim Love cos both are slim I guess. Still thinking… haha

I have used Johnson and Johnson’s baby oil for years to do this . I think when worn often jade tends to look better because our body oils or secretions helps the jade looks good .

But I do have preferences ,and don’t wear all my bangles with the same frequency . And I keep them in an airconroom . So i m afraid prolong states of not wearing in dryer air conditions maybe cause it dryness . Because even stones can look dry , if exposed to weathering conditions .

so I tend to oil them once in awhile when free. Johnson and Johnson’s was reccomended by my seller because she takes care of her jade this way. It’s mineral oil . Only thing u need to be abit careful . Because it’s oily and very slippery , it might slip from your hands drop to the ground and crack if not careful .

Well I think if both are slim, then it means there's a possibility to stack another bracelet

I love both, but I prefer nephrite jade more than Jadite because I feel more causal and relaxed with Nephrite. I tend to put on my jadite pieces when I want more glamor since they feel and look so much more Shiney to me.

Do you jadies get your jade certified? Is it necessary? I am very confident that the jade i am buying is 100% Type A Jadite but am wondering if I should for insurance purposes or any other reason? What i am purchasing is pretty expensive to for me so idk if it's better to err on getting the certification instead of not getting it.
