One of the first places i plan to splurge on when in working again is pearl paradise
Ive seen this necklas i want to replicate featuring jade
Now my experience of jade is pretty dismal
We see lots of cheap imported jade here sold to the uniformed tourist and most of it looks like plastic
I would like to pick your brains about where to buy 3 jade beads
I don't think i want to go down our local greenstone / pounamu route because i see it being too exspensive to get 3 beads custom made and I rather like the more glowy look
I don't know if i want jadeite or nephrite ?
To me honest i have no idea what it would cost to have a greenstone bead made in NZ anywat but this is $100 and i don't like - i don't know the words to describe why ? .... but its the impure looking colour
On line i see lots of really cheap jade braclets and necklases - now i don't want to spend $100 per bead but i don't want horrible cheap ones either
This is the necklase i saw that inspired me
Obviously i would have to buy the pearls first to know what size jade beads to get)
I don't want to use spacers, I'm hoping to knot the jade beads like the pearls
