Evaluating jadeite (feicui)

So did the seller lie to me

I can't tell is this old blue water or oily green?

Presence of white inclusion snowflakes in the closeup photo and how it looks dark indoors makes me think Guatemalan blue.

Glad you did! He is a hardworking seller, sourcing from all over and his prices are hard to beat. A new friend I made last week ask me about the spinels I was wearing, and I directed him to Asiatique. He went there as soon as they opened this morning and left with a Mahenge spinel & yellow diamond ring for his wife, and a golden South Sea pearl pendant for his Mom. Sneaking in photos of what he bought.


Ooh, that sounds exciting, @Odyssey44. Hope we will get to see some photos of them when they are ready.

I am off to Denmark today, taking my jadeite jewelry.

Absolutely yes I will post! Wow to the jadeite with the pink-- I think-- sapphires!!! What a color combination!! Maybe my favorite ever! And that big honking purple jadeite ring--that is what my next hunt will be for. It is so perfect. And I love that my new jadeite ring is similar in look, though not in quality of course, to one of your rings!!
Have a great time in Denmark. It has been a while since I have been, but I remember Copenhagen having excellent restaurants.

What a fabulous collection! Love the pink sapphire and green jade earrings. The color is so harmonious and happy. The lavender ring is so feminine and soft. Just, wow!
