Such beautiful carvings. They are so pretty to look at when worn and must be so nice to stroke when our fingers need a little massageView attachment 5993314View attachment 5993315View attachment 5993316View attachment 5993317
Hi! My 2 new-in carved banglesthe multi colour one is really a work of art with all the intricate carvings of phoenixes and peonies 💚💚 they are actually way bigger than my normal size but I just couldn’t resist so I’m wearing them high on my arm 😁
Hi @Purrsey, would u mind sharing with me (via DM if preferred) on which jeweler do u go to? And in general where to go to find quality jade pieces? Thank you!
Thanks for sharing @Purrsey ! This is so amazing and so interesting to know that it’s possible to purchase a whole jade slab! (Although I’m guessing it will definitely be outside of my budget)what I have been doing on jade purchase:
As shared, I buy some from slabs. This means after the bangle is cut out, I’m left with slab remain, that belongs to me which I can get them carved if I want.
This is one of them. These are all carved from the same slab. I tell master carver what I want and he will draw on the slab to see what’s possible. After carved, he also will do the jewelry setting according to my designs (or he can recommend). These, I choose 925 (au750 is available as well). Haven’t decide to keep them or gifting them.

This is one of my fav bangles. Slim oval; easy wear.

Some pendants made.

Asked for 5 clovers to be carved to be made into small cute pendant for my sisters and daughter. But after discussing with the master, we ditched it and instead transformed into a bracelet.

And earrings. But I don’t really wear earrings so likely these will go

I have had few other old slabs that I’ve already transformed them to either beads (for bracelet), some hanging ornaments, and even paper weight! lol because I ran out of idea what to do with them. They are quite weighty already in this size.

A slab sounds big but it’s actually pretty small piece. I don’t think it’s extravagant expensive. Sometimes they run some offer hour where they price it like buy-bangle-free-slab. So far mine, i don’t see it as I paid for the remain jade slab.
I have other SG that love littlejadeitehouse too! You have the best pieces. I don't have any jade myself, but love seeing them on others.
Wow. Good idea with the motif bracelet, I think it's more of a statement with the 5 motifs together. It's lovely.what I have been doing on jade purchase:
