After a nice green jade cabochon

[mellowyellowgirl]

oooh is this from FB lady?

LOL what the dickens did you get up to today?????

What is happening with the pinks? Are you still negotiating?

That is very pretty if I were into glass jade!!!! ROSE GOLD WOMAN!!!!!!!

bahahahhaahha I laugh at your no buy proposal!!!! Although I haven't bought clothes for 4 months now! I have gone hippy and decided not to contribute to landfill! Hubs says he'll tell me when I look ragged but for now I look decent

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

PS I went for a long vigorous walk and decided the ring I posted yesterday was a bit small! I don't want to go all Thanos but a wee bit bigger would be nice! Loved the colour and ring design though!

Off topic: Am soooooo hungry! It is 1.30am here and I am determined not to eat at ungodly hours but darn it I is hungreeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Burmesedaze]

If you decide to go Thanos, just spend more on a convertible ring/pendant. Worth it, I think.

Lol clothes you can buy almost anywhere anytime. Gems, you can't.

Jade yes FB lady.

The Mogok stones my jewellers are handling the negotiations. The pinks are like asking for 3x what I paid for my first pair of pinks!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Jadey will be in WG. Looks more ethereal and has to matchy match my glassy earrings.

 

[Burmesedaze]

FB lady says these are 280 each. Silver settings.

 

[Burmesedaze]

@mellowyellowgirl not this setting but I think these are decent lively greens for earrings. Better proportions than my pair. 1 piece has a splotch at the lower corner hence the reasonable price.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Summoning my jade oracle @Burmesedaze

11.6-7.9-9.3mm price:750usd

Is the splotchiness the reason for the cheaper price?

I liked those earrings! Thought they were affordable! hehe too bad I'm broke so it's just the old diamond studs for me!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Sending you a virtual cake for all the free jade advice!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Yes the splotch aka impurity lowers it.

Oh haha we were just discussing this ring and some other new pieces on FB. This ring also has splotches.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

A quick aside...do you remember me asking what "jelly" was? Once you notice something you see it everywhere. At dinner the other night and someone said "jelly" in casual conversation and I thought of you.

Haha yes I do!

Here is another fun fact Twitter taught me that blew my mind!

Do not insult or say anything unflattering about Beyonce. Her fans (called the BeyHives) will come after you on the interwebs!

Not that you would but apparently them are the rules of Twitter! I found it fascinating!

 

[Burmesedaze]

The glassy jadeite was sold before I got to it. Oh well.

@metall @mellowyellowgirl

Looks like she created another FB account for bangles with minor imperfections. A few are ok. Most of the imperfections read stone lines or small areas with not so nice polish etc. But the prices are very realistic!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I'm having fun going through these!

I want a green and lavender one!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Hah pick a more saturated one because they will be lighter IRL.especially lavender.

 

[Burmesedaze]

I'm rather bummed the glassy jadeite cab is home. I was offered another 1mm smaller in size looking more oval. But that 1mm makes a heck of a difference so I'm shelving my online jade plans for now. Too bummed.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Awww is that the one that was sold? You bummed it is sold? There should be plenty more in good time!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Ok lady warned me that the bangles are super light in colour so I'll keep waiting!

One of the dark greens looked appealing!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Sorry, home = gone.

Yup, no hurry for one. Just bummed that you see something and are ok with it and then poof! Not available. I think she gets her photos/stock from the factory but they aren't exclusive stock to her So availability probably isn't real time.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@Burmesedaze is this too cloudy for you? I thought of you when I saw it!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I wish I could squeeze into this one but it's only 47mm! I can (and have done) 52mm but that's my lowest!

[Burmesedaze]

Thanks. Nice proportions but yes not glassy enough methinks

 

[Burmesedaze]

52mm is already considered TINY!

I asked hubby whether he could see enough purple in it.

He pulled a face and said "Looks like taro! Looks like the colour of boiled taro"

Took the wind out of my sails but it was funny!

[Burmesedaze]

Lol that's a decent price for taro jadeite bangles!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I thought it had a charm to it and was a good price but now I can't unsee the taro! Not to mention the taro jibes if I wore it around him!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@Burmesedaze

COME IN!!!!

Do you think this will be too light in the sun? Are the cheaper ones better value?

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=2104846749801429

 

[Burmesedaze]

Too light. Better to get 1 more saturated in photos so they don't end up too pale IRL!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

YEah thats what I thought! But hey check these out!

https://www.yokdeejadeite.com/produ...tel-shades-traditional-round-bangle-no-151464

Do you think these are darker than the ones I posted?

 

[Burmesedaze]

Yes but colour too light for the price.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Yes but colour too light for the price.

Yah these seem grossly overpriced! And not as translucent!
