Thanks! My understanding is that a ruyi is a mushroom of sorts? That it has a sort of "wish come true" feeling to it. I thought it was a peach at first, before I realized it was an upside down ruyi.

That totally makes sense! So the rú yí on my ring does mean best wishes. Mystery solved! Thanks JKP[emoji5]
Something for you, C Rose?

I really like this! The ring looks like it has a certain power to it. Very mysterious and great pairing!
Thanks!

We are three, SilverMom . We had a horrible flight to Israel some years ago and afterwards my son had to take Valium . Now I hate getting on a plane.
Happy father's day to all my jadie daddies!
CR, that bracelet and ring pair so nicely; Uli, love your stacks, as always.
Re: jade price
I do think the price of jade has been climbing. I think I remember reading that 2009-2010 was a big increase in prices and that they've gone up pretty steadily since. I'm already priced out of most jade. I think I'm mostly done with collecting bangles and I'm very happy buying preloved. I used to not buy 14k or set in 14k (I prefer the color of 18kyg or higher), but for pre-owned pretty jade pieces, I've made exceptions.

GREAT pendant, Junkenpo!
New waterpark!! May have to check it out: ) We ate lots of Ben & Jerry's in Myrtle Beach too - what a great place for a family vacation! Our drive was about 15 hours and so we did it in 2 days but the boys were great in the car and it was just so much fun.
Interesting that the significant price increase was 2009/2010....I think that was just before I got into jade. I think the price of most valuable gems have increased and so yeah we gotta let the husbands know that when we keep buy we are actually making smart financial investmentsHappy father's day to all my jadie daddies!

Your bead bracelet and pendant are both beautiful JKP!!
Beautiful Siberian Charoite bangle:
Udalrike, that is a good one there! Hmm... I went digging in the bangle box and I have 2 nephrite bangles I forgot about LOL. I have been on a jadeite buying spree and your link reminded me of the 2 I have, so thank you for that. While I was looking my DH says "Just how many Jade bangles do you have? You only have 2 wrist?!!" LOL I said how many polo shirts do you have or what about golf clubs?!! He said he could never catch up to me. Ha Ha! He is so right! [emoji6]
That Siberian Charoite Bangle is pretty, love the color. There is so many cool gems out there to see [emoji5]
Annetok, Thank you so much. I have been looking for yellow gold and Jade lately. I really like them together [emoji4]
