    Hi folks.......found these beauties in a once rejected necklace stash. i guess i've handled enough jade since then to know better

    guess thowing/giving things away isn't always the best option

    nephrite they are not, so hoping more jadeite

    if you look up jade beads nowadays your awash with mass cheapness, them seem better and older

    (brown areas are some kind of gunk)

    That's what they look like. Originally Burmese, but traded through China.

    Not too slim I hope?
    There are acrylic thingies you can put on the inside of rings to make them smaller.

    only ever slim enough to slip outta trouble of course AJ ;):playful:

    the main reason was to see the devastation left by the rings :eek:

    but they have got looser and would rather not wear than lose..........thats one thing that kills me.......losing sentimental or treasured things
