Specific Gravity of Grade B Jadeite

[Seaglow]

Look at how gorgeous the pendants are.....

Landscapes are a bit dangerous to start. It’s like collecting art. You appreciate each one differently.

I have this new outfit...an outfit that I bought for $83 at the sales that would look amazing with a nice landscape pendant.

But I am not spending thousands to accessorise an $83 outfit

Oh you ladies make it hard!

Well it won't be THE ONLY dress that goes with a landscape pendant! They are cheaper if you get on livestream but nothing big and icy green there though.

My jewellers were wowed by the landscape pendants and donuts. Brought them over to show today.

 

[Burmesedaze]

My donut addiction continues. Blue base with flakes.

The pendants are a calling......they are lovely.

That mottled one, I did not want to buy it. But it reminds me so much of when I am skiing and the mountains that we always frequent during school holidays I just had to have it.

New stuff done setting. They are asking me to send in confirmed designs or stuff to be set asao. Many will only start to be made after Chinese New Year hols but they already have 50 pieces in the queue for that so I have to join in.

That lavender disk seems to have such a lovely ombré coloring..it’s like the color of introspection. Really love this one

 

[Seaglow]

Got this today.

It’s a lotus flower with a unique color sort of like an aqua and chalcedony but more durable coz it’s jadeite and price is good. High ice and ethereal. Thick at 6mm so I plan to do a convertible ring/pendant with a halo of small diamonds in white gold.



To be set like this but convertible to pendant in 18K white gold.


Another is a bright and luminous apple green pendant to add to my landscape collection. It will be set with a diamond bail.

Just had to join the buying spree. I'm making no comment on the quality of the jadeite

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Omg @Seaglow that's gorgeous. The pendant is calling me

Did you get it from live stream?

Looks like and antique piece. good matching of jadeite.

Not on LS. On regular post but looks the apple green pendant was described as a treasured object. Apparently, these luminous colors are summer colors...looks good to wear on summers.

I can't buy this now due to my praying for a fictional child but what do you guys think of this?

This would be within budget of what I'd want to spend.

Fabulous filigree work! Love LOVE gold filigree and the jade color goes very nicely with the gold color. Also, the geometric shapes make it truly a statement bracelet.

Nice carving, nice transluscency...very appealing look and nice price! But judging from the bail to stone ratio, stone not so big.

Small. . Should get a discount on it. But nice.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Thanks ladies! That carving is so pretty

I don't know. I did not have such a good time dealing with Number 5.

Cab is black......and she is like, "No everything cannot be done, everything is closed...or you have to pay more for another cab....." And small small small pictures so I cannot see properly. Ask for bigger picture and she is like facepalm

And I paid 2000 rmb for setting as opposed to the 1600 rmb at first quoted.

I have to ask others within the team to help me get her to do it properly.

Grrrr........change cab! I will order it to be done. She will fix it.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

That ain't spicey green @ChaiK

That's black!!!!!

That looks like they covered the hole at least?

Why is it? 1600? Marquise not diamonds right?

It's almost black!

No, not diamonds. I am miffed.

 

[Burmesedaze]

My donut setting with the 2 green cabs cost 1341. Cabs from LS seller. More gold than your bail since back of donut has gold to connect middle cab to top cab.

Thanks. I will ask them.

No problems with anything or anyone else. Number 5 is very young, I think.

. At least I know I am not the mad one. She kept saying I was fussy and picky.

I recall you mentioned you didn't want a spicy stone and when I saw the pic I was like "A spicy stone might have been ok. That's black!!!!!!"

I have a spicy stone that is nowhere near that shade!

On the bright side it is a BEAUTIFUL pendant you chose! My gawd I'm envious!

Thank you. It was 8500 rmb. So at least that is a consolation. It has a pale pale very pale green glow to it. Exactly what I like in the icy ones.

And the other two are really gorgeous. All within budget. So am very happy.

Plus Number 3 and 4 very good about the setting. No probls there.

And now Number 5 feels so bad. I am ok, I paid up anyway. I feel so terrible. Number 5 not bad.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@ChaiK what's wrong hun?

Did no. 5 change the black cab out for you? She should!!!! Nothing to feel bad about!

I did some random browsing and saw the pendant listed before your one. Sooooo pretty as well.

I had like this crisis and was like "Omg what if this is the one and I let it get away"

Then I slapped myself and calmed down. Must last until end of Feb!

I will wear a big necklace with a platypus pedant this weekend to check my itchy neck issues!

 

[ChaiK]

@mellowyellowgirl Just wear the pendant with huge pearl necklace. Or a jadeite necklace. Or huge something. Ferget the itch. Price of vanity.

 

[ChaiK]

@ChaiK what's wrong hun?

Nope. I am a MUG. I felt soooooo bad for her. She didn't do a J, so I thought, ok, never mind. Gulp. Swallow. Pay, and I ended up comforting her. How it became like this, I don't know.

 

[ChaiK]

On a brighter note, spinels are here. They are a lovely glowy red. So lovely I won't set them with the jadeite earrings. Just them on their own with diamonds and diamond hoops.
