Debuting my intense green ring and bracelet. I’m in love!! I think the pictures I’ve taken so far don’t do the ring justice
It’s very icy . If price is not an issue it looks very lovely . U can never go wrong with icy variety because it’s the finest grain and the translucence speaks for its quality .
Thanks for the kindly complements . It is my favorite bangle too because it reminds me of the pale blue skies . Here’s how it looks near windows sill lighting
So painstakingly carved ! Is it a pendant or for display ? The spinach green bits make the greenery so lively !
Gorgeous!!! You have such a good collector’s eye. You find such stunning pieces.
Definitely for display, my neck would despise me if I were to try and wear it!
Just tidy my safe and got reminded I have an Edwards black nephrite square by Allan Sephar . I love black jadeite bangles but nothing comes close to the midnight darkness of edwards black nephrite jade . It’s really a true blackest of black with a beautiful shine .

Trying to find a different way to photograph my bangle 
My bad I went off the grid for a while, but I’m back now.These pictures are just stunning. You must have 200 pieces of jewellery lol.
That’s also a killer ring combo! I had to zoom on on that diamond ring. Not to mention the mail ring, I’m guessing that 22k or possibly 24k? The yellow is very vibrant. I actually decided not to buy the jade ring as much as I loved it. I’m getting a gold lion head ring instead.
Hi Jadies!
Everyone has such lovely jade. Bernie - my fave thing of yours is still the little orange donut with the little green leaves in your current avatar. The colors and execution are just fun and cute.
Mastermkombo - jade rings are fun and so is a gold lion head. Maybe a large jade cabochon ring in the future? My dad had one and it will be passed to my son when he's old enough to take care of it. I need to retake pictures of my rings, I've since acquired a couple more, haha.

And here is my latest acquistion: clip earrings!
With all the headphone wearing for virtual meetings I've had to do at work, clip earrings have been very nice easy on/off option. I liked these vintage clip-ons before the pandemic and now it's just solidified. The tension in them is a little tight, my ears ached at the end of the day so they need adjustment.

Hi!
I discovered that one up on e*bay such a long time ago. It's jadeite, but I'm not sure of the designer. Most of my jade is second-hand and vintage and relatively inexpensive. I just keep an eye out and stuff pops up. I got it to match a bangle I have. If you jump back to the very first page on this thread, you can see the bangle. Sometimes it is a long wait and it is definitely bad for my wallet, but jade addiction is real.
Shall I enable you?
Kathyjade has a few available at the moment. Hope the links work.

My understanding is that you can find this color naturally occurring in jadeite, but that some sellers "force" it by heating white jade. Heat-treated jade in this color can sometimes look dried out, though, and heating it can also make the jade brittle. Caveat emptor. Always ask questions till you're satisfied.
Here are some more reposts.
