Sound amazing. Could you please post a pic if you can.
I’m traveling at the moment so I am unable to model them but found a stock photo online.

They look so good on Zoom and the ultimate lazy-chic outfit is a v-neck tee, jeans, loafers, a faux fur/teddy coat and these earrings. For warmer weather, give me a romper, flat sandals, these earrings and my hair in a ponytail.

I generally get the most compliments when I wear my jade pieces which have been all chosen and gifted to me by my Mom. She’s a big fan and very knowledgable about a stone which I find really hard to assess. These are 3 examples of pieces I have in my collection, I wear the earrings and the ring regularly. I don’t think I have worn this brooch/ hairpin more than once (?) and I have 2 bangles which never go out at all.:doh:
Can your mom share any of her tips of finding good quality jade (at a fairly reasonable price)?

Gosh this so tough, as Jade is difficult to assess without experience, unlike diamonds with the standard grading. Basically she first learned about Jade from my Great Grandmother using the heirloom pieces in our family, she also knew one or two very trusted dealers and spending time with them trained her eye. I also remember going with her for years, to auctions at Christie's, as they had a Jadeite expert at the office who was very happy to share his knowledge. It's not really something I can post for many to follow, as some shady dealers do have many ways to enhance Jade appearance. I myself would only buy from said trusted sources as I am much better at deciding for myself, on diamonds and the 3 coloured stones. Apologies not to be more helpful. :smile:
 
Without a doubt, this gold and blue stone necklace. They are not valuable stones, mostly blue topaz and aquamarines, but they are quite vivid and really stand out in most lighting conditions. I have more valuable jewelry, but this piece gets the most compliments. Plus it's just the right length to wear with most necklines.
