    I guess a good quality jade stone would be housed in solid precious metal rather than in plated. Not sure of the white stones but probably glass or cheap crystal?
    I see some similar rings with the same cut by chinese sellers selling for dirty cheap. Is that the case here?

    Not jade either. It's a stone, at least I think it's stone, that's been coming out of China for a while now. It's pretty, but don't worry about it being worth much. I have a couple of rings made out of it, bought because they were pretty and they fit.

    Could be other than jade. I am suspicious about those inclusions. I know jade should have some but here they are too many. I wonder if dye was involved. Otherwise, very transparent.

    That thready look tells me it's not jade. I call it a member of the RDR family of minerals - Random Dyed Rock.
