I apologize in advance for I haven’t read through the whole thread. Regarding hard to get on bangles. I always stress out when I put on any of my bangles, jade or not. Some are smaller than others but not by a whole lot. I find using a sheer knee high works (as recommended by my sales associate) or lather up with a lot of lotion or soap (but I’m afraid I would loose my hold on the bangle and it goes flying). But again it depends on how tight of a fit it is. Hope this helps someone. Merry Christmas!
Oh the sheer stocking is something new! For me I always just change out over the sink with soap. It’s the quickest for me.
Merry Xmas too everyone!
Yes try the sheer stocking or knee high! Hermes and Gumps where I buy Jade suggest it. 😊 It works for me.
I haven't posted here in a long time but was cleaning out my jewelry recently and realized that I haven't worn my jade bracelets in a couple of years. I need to start wearing them again! The thin dark bracelet is hetian nephrite, the rest are jadeite.
Good day for a little hiking.
Hi everyone.

Hi everyone, I am super super new to the jade thread and these are my few pieces recently inherited from my 98-year old grandmother when I visited her in Asia.
1) Bracelet and ring set; the ring is stamped “925” which Google tells me is a stamp that means platinum, and both the ring and bracelet have a stamp of a Chinese brand (can’t really make it out but I can see characters and it makes me think it is a brand name of a store?). The jade doesn’t look like jade to me though… it’s so opaque and seems like agate - thoughts? I still love the design of this set but I’m curious if experts here think this is jade?
2) Bright green jade pendant on a chain stamped 18k but I have my doubts on this one. One of the diamonds (if they are real, maybe CZ) is set crooked, which tells me this piece didn’t undergo care… The jade is very green, could it be color treated? The stone is bright and translucent but upon close inspection under bright light it kind of looks cloudy with my naked eye, can’t describe it. The jade seems watery/oily (no idea, total noob here) but definitely translucent compared to the top one.
3) Tiny gourd shaped pendant that is white and brown, opaque and not at all translucent and I am assuming this is jade, can any experts chime in?
4) Heart pendant that exhibits the white and light green jade I’m most accustomed to. Super heavy, thick piece!
5) Pendant carving in white and light green jade that my grandmother gifted to my husband. It’s cut much thinner than the heart pendant above.
I’m located in BC, Canada and interested in getting these tested - anyone know of a place to send these to?

I think they look cute together.
I believe 925 means silver. 950 is platinum.
Hi Jadies, haven’t been to the Forum for some time. Glad to see the jade love is still well and alive! Sharing my 1st carved bangle of intertwined branches and a Ruyi heart. It’s from a relatively new shop Jadebaosg which you can find on Instagram. Has very unique carved bangles and the workmanship is just amazing. Some of the carved bangles can be a little opaque so choose well
