The JADE thread!

I have a few questions for you jadies that have been collecting for awhile (mostly in the U.S.) Is it just me or do you all see rising prices in the marketplace for jade that is readily available to us for lesser quality? Do any of you look at jade as investment pieces? I've only been actively collecting for about 5 years, but feel so lucky to have acquired some of the pieces I have and enjoy them immensely. What is your opinion - has it gotten more difficult to find quality grade a pieces at a reasonable price from sources you can trust?

Yes I have noticed what u are saying .I notice that there isn't nice jadeite out there and my more. Some our poor quality. Could be that they can't get it out of Burma anymore.and the sellers are running out of good jade.and if they do have good pieces they cost arm and leg. Some of the prices are the cost of house it's crazy. But have to say they are breath taking though♡♡

Thank you LL and Uli for your sweet comments :flowers: Now I have to eat healthy to off set all the bad :annoyed:
I do wear my three bangles 24/7 even while I sleep with bumpers in between. Usually it is not a problem but sometimes throughout the night I need to push down Blush as she gets tight on my arm when she rides up. Do you sleep with yours too (and/or pendants)? My right arm is the one to switch out my other bangles and rarely do I sleep with those.
 
Thanks CR! Yes, it was sold out!!! My DS and DH are the most into basketball. Myself along with my DD are not so die hard but enjoyed watching the game..I think her and I enjoyed the really unhealthy food there the most....nachos, cotton candy, french fries....!! :biggrin:

DG, I applaud you girl [emoji4] you have a strong stomach. If I even look at that stuff, I'm in trouble. I'm the person that eats before they go to a cookout LOL. Is sad but true. I don't even have to say a word, my DH automatically determines where we will stop for my food before we even get on the road [emoji39]
 
hi jadies! hope all is well today.

DG, hope your team won at the finals! love that stack!
Uli, great stack and lovely pendant. charoite is such a pretty stone.
CR: nice nephrite!

I am going to post some finds because I'm hoping someone on this thread will get them and relieve me of the temptation. I'm not affiliated with any of the sellers, and do make sure to ask questions to satisfy yourself about authenticity before buying.

I think this bracelet is so cute with pearls... looks like the stone could be nephrite. This bracelet is much too like beaded bracelets I already have, but as you have seen, I love this style.
This ring is so pretty, and the setting puts me in mind of Ming's, but I wonder if the stone could be chrysoprase. Same seller does have a pair of Ming's earrings... they look very similar to ones I got from a different seller and shared. This necklace doesn't look all jade, but the style and the charms are so neat looking.

I have too much jewelry to keep switching out and getting more stuff, but jade is so unique and I am so addicted!

Edited to add: these earrings, so cute with the pearls would go great with my heart pendant, but I am tapped out! lol

earrings.... i really like this style of clip earrings.. I actually watched a youtube video of how to tighten a loose clip and fixed one of my round ones myself!
ring - lavender stones.. I keep having to remind myself I have so many rings that I never, ever wear. This would go in my box with my red ring and black ring and never be worn.

What a great price on the lavender cluster ring. It is tempting....

Great pieces JKP! I'm with you 2B_JM, that lavender ring is tempting [emoji4] That necklace is so organic and earthy looking. I like it! [emoji5]

Ooooooh, I agree! Though it will likely go much higher in the next 5 days. Great finds all, JKP! I also agree about the ring being possibly chrysoprase, the color and texture look just slightly off - too intense blue-green, but it could be just the photo lighting.

OMG my boys would have loved to be at the game! I'm not into basketball but I enjoyed watching last night's game- What a close match!
Your bangles are absolutely glowing in that light - GORGEOUS!
Second that! Very cool pic. I'm impressed you wear them all to bed like that! I can only handle one at night and can't wear necklaces to bed as I toss and turn too much, but find I feel too naked without a bangle.

Pics from the last few days - my jade always seems to look it's best in early evening light. La Vie en Rose and Alba -
