Here's the comparison of the 2 mutton fat bangles I got both from matsalice! The carved one with the yellowish hue being the one I bought a while ago, the non-carved one with a more greyish hue being the one I bought very recently that arrived yesterday.

Link of the listing if you want to compare how different it looks from gojade's pictures to mine.

Oh please! I love my jadeites and nephrites equally, it's just that toying around with nephrites feel so nice and it doesn't hurt my bank account as much even when it's recovering

Some new and fine additions to the beaded bracelets collection.

Looks like someone wants in with the attention!

If you want to cut custom shapes nephrite . U can try Allan Sephar or Jade Divers.

A few of us had square bangles cut from either Yukon snow or Edwards black nephrite . He has amazing skills . Your post just reminded me I haven’t been wearing it for sometime but here it is .

Oh my goodness that little turtle is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing the photos of it in different lighting, that was really helpful when comparing to the photos on gojade's ebay listing. I see what you mean about the difference, but it's nice to see it wasn't anything too drastic (at least not on my computer monitor!)! Thanks again!

I’ve been enjoying my new little family of fishes from my local jeweler:

Couldn't wear the rings at all since my fingers are bony, and rings are too large to fit. But it won't stop me from caring about them.

Hey jadies! I'm gonna need some help here, so some of you maybe aware of the conundrum I had (still have) regarding some jade pieces I have being color stained by a fabric of some sort. So I was wondering if any of you had tried soaking your pieces with nail polish remover/acetone and your experiences with using it as means of cleaning off very stubborn stains that not even soapy hot water, rubbing alcohol would do. Also I do want reassurance that acetone won't damage the internal structure of jade as well even though I've read that it'll only go after organic compounds such as dyes, some plastics (since jade isn't an organic gemstone but porous).
