Let me show you genuine traditional Chinese nephrite, from the mysterious original mountains of Kunlun. No wax boiling, no chemical treatments.

Hello,

I'm my journey to learning jade, I want to learn the supposed value of these bracelets and why. I bought these from a store that is supposedly doing a retirement sale.

First the red one: i got it when i was like 9 years old, thus my mom certainly did not buy real jade. The sound is dull and far from high pitched. Also accidently slammed agaist it A LOT of time over the years but always got away with some cracks - i suppose its pretty hard? Though i know its not high quality, it has a high sentimental worth to me since i wore it over a decade. I heard some jewelry is made of pressed stone powder, could it be the case? Have you ever heard of this procedure?

Now the white one: feels really smooth and cold, has a high pitched sound. Dont mind the cracks, i slammed against it a couple times, so i wont wear it anymore cause i am scared it might break. I was thinking, maybe quarzite? Do you think it could be real jade?

The icy glutinous with glossy characteristic is so damn fineeeeeee

Cannot get the snowflakes/ clouds cotton effect but I think this one is more like a snowstorm than a snowflake 🤣🤣🤣

I saw many precise snowflake cotton in bangle before but super pricey for those so Im happy with this one!!! Will not take this one off!

Hi all!! In 2015 my dad purchased a bunch of jade items in a market in china. He came back and attempted to resell it in the states but was unable to (lol). He has since passed on and we are wondering if this is actually jade and if it is is it quality jade? Anything yall can give me as an answer is appreciated!! I can take more pics if needed.

My favorite jade pieces right now 🥰
