    I usually only buy jade by accident. I buy it because I like it not because it's valuable.

    That is always best. If I don't like something, I won't give it a place in my home or in my jewellery collection.

    Sometimes I get lucky and find a big mistake. Usually these days all I find is modern costume.

    more information on plum blossom jade, I was told this is a new jade but doing research on nail strike jade I found the opposite is true. Both jades are very old and while looking very different are really two forms of the same jade “Ruyang Jade” mining began in the Shang and Zhou dynasty and declared a national treasure in the Han Dynasty, Supplies due to overexploitation are depleted.
