Just skimming through posts quickly while at work and I must saying all this new beautiful jade is making my day!!
RedKoi01, you couldn't have found a more unique bangle with all the colors and so glamorous!
Jade4Me I love your nephrite dragon bangle. It's such a rich deep green.
Fan, your pendant and bangle are such a perfect match and I do love Princess bangles like that.
Molly and Lotsoflove, if we got together we'd all match with our bangles!! Here's one of mine that look much like yours. :)

Sure, he was explaining to me how difficult it is to spot grade a Jade when it is natural vs color enhanced. He said the difference between a and b I quite noticeable. He mentioned the best way is to lookout under a microscope. He had a small jewellers magnifying glass and a set of filters called Jade spotting filter. Placed the Jade on top of light source and looked through the magnifying glass through the filter when Jade has been treated it looks like a glow.

The temperature of the Jade is a good way to differentiate Jade from other stones or plastic. If buying for collection buy pieces that are uniform in color and translucent. He told me to always ask for a certificate and check that the refractive index is 1.66 for jadeite.

Great collection! I agree I often find myself drawn to spots and patches, veins and different colours too. As long as
it is shiny and at least somewhat translucent 😉 I particularly love your dark green bangle and your new party bangle:) what size bangle do you wear?
Thanks for the mini lesson on treated vs untreated Jade. Wouldn't it be wonderful if sellers were honest....

And yes it would be great if sellers where honest. I had no idea how long they leave the Jade bangles in sulfuric acid to remove unwanted minerals until yesterday and the gemologist told me that a minimum of 10 days!!! I suffer for that Jade what a way to destroy something so beautiful Mother Nature gave us.
