Sooo after my purchase of two budget jade rings last year (They both made the under $1250 thread) I was itching for a larger, fresher green cab. Something a bit more high end.

I searched high and low for a fresh green ring and learned so much along the way from all the masters of jade on PS.

There were a few near purchases along the way that I piked out on. Everytime I piked I learned something new:lol:

I'll post a link to all the rings I considered later.

Eventually with some help I found the one that makes my heart sing. Lol she's nowhere near the $1250 thread but she's a beauty!

I would say the colour in real life is one shade lighter than in the pics but in sunny natural light (not in the sun but just with bright sunlight in the background) the colour is spot on.

Stone is roughly 12x10x6

I really appreciate the fullness and will never buy a flat cab again.

Ring came with a Hong Kong jade certificate that is pretty well known to be legit. The ring is very solid and hefty built. Reflects it's pricing.

My only regret is that I didn't push harder to bargain more but I really loved the ring and didn't have the energy to prolong the haggling.

I just love the stone so much. The texture, colour, height it is everything. This is all thanks to a few PS ladies who meticulously sifted through all the crap I sent them and taught me so much. Especially about clouds and glut!!!!! You know who you are!

Wow what a spectacular ring!:kiss2:
Fresh is right. It's simply amazing. That color, that stone, that setting. TDF!
 
Mellow! You nailed it! Isn't jade amazing? I adore the color. Does it glow?
 
So mesmerizing!!!!:lickout:
 
It's beautiful! But is it your last? If I were a gambler I wouldn't bet on that :lol:
 
This might make some sense or not,

I had to learn how to photograph fairly subtle patterns of texture in some translucent material - not unlike jadeite, in this sense; it took a while to decide that no camera could see what I was seeing - without light transmitted through the material.

Thinking out loud
 
That is a beautiful ring! Love the green. Congrats!!:love:
 
What a colorful candy green! I don't know much about jade, but it looks beautiful. :lickout:
 
@doberman I'm going to be like the little Engine that could...resist jewellery that is

I think I can, I know I can *chants to herself*

@suzanne2 yes it glows! It has the most wonderful texture! Of course Pink Bandit had to go and inform me he prefers grainy jade because it looks more interesting. He loves the cheap giant grainy purple!

@icy_jade I am trying to think of an excuse to visit the jewellery stores :lol:
Going out for fried chicken tomorrow (might take the ring off before I attack the fried chicken) and the stores are in the same neighbourhood!
 
Terrific color for the price. Is it Type A?
