I had read years ago on another pearl forum that the knotting is a western thing. As long as the beads are okay, so am I. The dark green flower necklace is only 20 inches, so I will probably knot that one for added length. The chatoyant nephrite can also use the length.
It helps to know others have had a wild jade spree. My husband is being pretty understanding as I have loaded my cart up at KJ with feverish regularity. He helped me pick the newest dark green. Then I showed him the prices grade A goes for in the US. I feel pretty confident I could sell what I bought and be okay.
I think all of the boxes have been checked. Bright, quiet, light, dark, flower, icy, opaque...I think I caught as many as I can afford for now. My wallet is crying. I think I am done for now...until next year. I still need a pair of simple icy green studs.
@MMtwo, I relish the idea of a jade spree! Your husband is truly understanding. Hm, guys can wear Jade too, ahem…esp pins or brooches which are so on trend.
Yes, have a rest for now and savour all your Jade, slowly…simple icy studs are not hard to find so they can wait.
