Specific Gravity of Grade B Jadeite

[mellowyellowgirl]

thanks guys for all the info on cotton! @Burmesedaze and @ChaiK

Haha I dunno if this is a good idea but if the seller isn't keen it makes me wary (unless I'm crazy about the piece).

I did realise that thickness for me is probably a top priority. You guys think 5mm is ok or should I try for 6mm?

 

[Bluegemz]

Like these 2 donuts I bought. Inclusions are cotton. But nice pattern and I think this material from this mine is like that. Personal taste. I'm ok if it's like that.

Anyway I should get to see my schtuff late next week so I will know for sure.

Love the flakes.... Would be much less interesting without.

Ok guys I'm not sure how I feel about pendants so should I get a test one or save for one nice pendant in second half of year

this is pretty cheap and I like the colour but I can't make out the carving

Glutinous base. Carving not good. Bear in mind the colour may be lighter irl so may not be green enough for you to like

Middle left has black spot.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Guys I don't understand glutinous

Anyways not getting that!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Okies guys this is my favourite colour but I cant even sniff it at this price. Might have to go towards the more blue end which is cheaper

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Guys what do you think of this one?





It looks really pretty in the video and it's big.

Price? I think lovely. Knowing you, it must be a good price. Plenty diamonds, shows they did think cab is good enough for a higher price point.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Okies 5 approves of this ring and I like it because it is BIG. Sunlight vids are really nice too!

But I worry what if I see something I like more?!

What if I only see something I like less (especially smaller?) since my budget is constrained (need to save money for a house for 6yo).

I AM HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS!!!!!!!!

12000 RMB! Not bad I think!

What do you think?

 

[ChaiK]

12000 RMB! Not bad I think!

Check in normal daylight. I think it is good! Is big, is good is cheap. Maybe not too glowy but you have to sacrifice something at that price point. It is translucent, so in the sun, it will glow anyhow.

Number 5 did say the cab on my pendant is green. And she did say my pendant is nice and very worth the price. Both boxes ticked when it arrived, except that I would have liked the cab more translucent (but I am picky). I honestly did not want the icy pendant because I am a colour person but she told me got pale green shine. And it does. It looks luminous in some light.

Number 5 also told me not to buy another one pendant. And she asked me to wait. I would not have heeded her advice, except now they not taking paypal, so no way I am going to buy for now. Many things to settle and do before I spend. Plus I setting items.

But you buy. You been good.

Here is the vid! She says it is closest to this colour

Don't hold back!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Good thing is I am pretty calm! No rushing in at break neck speed!

Ok this was the pic where it caught my attention. In this pic I loved it's colour and size.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Ok price I think. Are there dark splotches left side of ring? In video.

 

[Burmesedaze]

ASK FOR DISCOUNT

Oval one to the far left? the Oval ring? Looks brighter. I could be wrong.

The one I circled!

@Burmesedaze yes there are some darkish patches but they look ok to me. You can see them in the pics too. Is it bad?

Not a dull green right? Doesnt look dull to me but you picked up on a dull green last time and it made me nervous!

How much should I try for? Remember my bargaining power is MUCH lower as you guys are VIPs!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Can I do better if I wait?

It is approx 13mm by 5mm thick. Don't want to go below 10mm even for better quality!

Oval oval. Ask her to check. Is big and has that colour thing that should glow.

haha nono! The one I circled in blue! I think you are looking at mega expensive one

The one I circled in blue is the ring I have been asking you about! It is the ring in the vid I posted! I thought it looked really good in the group pic!

 

[ChaiK]

Price looks good. Got water. I would go for it. 5 mm as well!

You think darkish patches are ok? I realise I have to make concessions just don't want to make the wrong ones!

It is not that patchy. Not obvious. Not to me, anyway.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Ask her what are the dark patches and see what she says

And use the patches for more discount. Coz it's not perfect.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Patches could be on the back side actually.

You will always be able to see something you like more.

But doesn't mean you have to have them all! Haha

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Lol that's what number 5 said @Burmesedaze

She said "No one buys one thing and is happy for the rest of their lives"

Thanks for the verdict ladies. I'm oddly gun shy after the ban. I'll let you know if I do buy it!

I like the ring too, and think you should pull the trigger if it's still around after your ban is lifted. I question the need to save money for a HOUSE for 6yo. You should train him to become a rainmaker instead, so he can make enough to get his house on his own. My future kids can forget about getting freebies as opposed to working hard for themselves.
