Me too, Purse Nut! The carvings and symbolism attract me just as much as the stone itself. The richness of the history, lore, craftsmanship and culture of jade is definitely a large part of it's allure to me.
In general, I tend to like vintage and antique jewelry for this same reason. Considering the 'dark side' of jadeite mining in modern times in humanitarian terms, I encourage everyone who loves it to seek out pre-loved pieces where one can to enjoy all these aspects of it's complex beauty with a little less guilt.

Here's a pic of my humble jade set I've had for 30+ years or so. Was a gift from my husband when I was 20 something.

Wow Purse Nut you have quite a collection there! I too love the butterfly :loveeyes::loveeyes:It's great that you have a deep green collection and a greyish lavender one. Do you wear any of the pieces much - as a set or on its own?

Thanks for the compliments on Iris, jadies! I like to wear this one when I'm feeling quiet, as I feel like it's a subtle bangle with just the hint of lavender. I have two pendants I wear with her (wore the little bead today) depending on the neckline I'm wearing.

Both pendants look wonderful Crosso but that bead just too sweet. And you're right this shade is very peaceful and calming.

Thank you, it is a nice community of jade admirers that we have here! I have learned so much from the shared knowledge on this forum. Jade is very precious yet a very complex stone that I am still learning about...especially when it comes down to the factors of pricing. Always enjoy seeing yours and everyone's pieces... and reading up on the discussions.

Thank you Molly. Just found out from Allan (Jadedivers) that he will be posting new items for sale over the next few months because a Jade Show that he was participating in had to be cancelled because of recent fires. So for jadies that want to check it out he is on Etsy.com under the name Jadediver. Molly your bangle is a real beauty.:smile:
