Synthetic inclusions too... crikey now I've seen it all, that is actually quite impressive. If you have time tomorrow and for fun, can you have a look at what a 10 carat piece would cost? Hehe.Ok it’s synthetic.
I must say they are really affordable lol. And the emeralds really look quite realistic with inclusions and all
@icy_jade you totally need to check out the other preloved stuff again!!!! Doooooo it and take pics!!!!
If you have time can you see what kind of green cab set in a ring I can get for $S2000.
I wanna know how to clean off old juju too @Burmesedaze
Not at all. I think the lavender is decent at s$1.25k! That's a wearable setting too.
Ok lemne ask my mum on that and get back to you!
For the preloved sapphires and rubies, may be better to see if there's a lab memo. Is Nanyang Gem Lab at the fair this year? They can test if so.
Ok has to be preloved then. Usually nice green cabs are very expensive. Not to mention with the ring setting.

I really like your pre-loved ring you got today. Is the pendant pre-loved too? Neither of them looks "aunty" so that's very cool. Any right of refund at these fairs? Definitely hit up the pre-loved vendor tomorrow again too, could be more finds there. Are there any coloured diamonds floating around? And larger dark green jade pieces? #curious
Doesn't have to be Imperial! But I'd be grateful for anything you can check out just to get a feel for prices.
Yeah I should have visited the jade store to do research like you told me to. I didn't even look at Wriston's jade stuff
Ok sure, you won’t be able to get a large cab for 2k tbh. Maybe preloved. What size are u interested in?
Wriston has some nice jade stuff. His imperial jade are so nice but the prices...
I'm not sure to be honest. 8mm or so I guess?
I still think jade cabs look very Auntie on me. Hehe I've got a chrysoprase that I'm thinking of setting when I have the funds and abandon the jade.
Mum says unless you've learnt crystal healing, otherwise put your item to clean under running water. Then use an incense and go round the jewellery. If you believe in any religion you can chant as you do that.
The salt n sun options sound easy. I've got a sage plant too! Sage chicken is very yummy.
Ok so after doing some quick internet reading,
I also read one site that says it’s not always needed unless you feel bad juju from the gem. As your energy will usually overpower any energy in the item unless it’s really bad juju.
- Washing with clean water - do I go and get Fiji or Evian or is tap water fine?
- smudging with sage - ok not sure where to get gotta do some research
- Placing on rock salt (and throw away the salt after)
- Put in sun
Erm ok I think I need to go n do more reading gosh.
I can ask if u want. Lemme know by noon tmr my time (that’s about midnight NYC time I think)
Thank you , but I am actually supposed to take my daughter to the shangri la to play over the weekend, then shop the sales for more baby clothes. I don't think anyone will buy the excuse that I 'accidentaly' ended up at the jewllery fair instead.
Thanks everyone! In the end I decided not to buy as the pave worries me. I did go back and took some photos along with another butterfly one that caught my eye...
Not my finger/hand... I found someone with much slimmer fingers to model for me.
FWIW I’ll have worn it to work and weekends with jeans...
Ok so am making a list of to-do for tmr before I forget...
1. Look at preloved stuff again cos my new ring is so pretty! Didn’t find anything...
2. Decide on the flowers n bee ring Decided... and no
3. Decide on 2 pearl strands Bought one
4. Decide on natural white akoya undecided and still thinking
5. Look for welo opal can’t find one in quality I like
6. Look for moonstone all fail compared to @Burmesedaze
7. Buy some Christmas gifts! Didn’t
8. Decide on jade dangles Decided... and no
9. Look at green cabs for @mellowyellowgirl not very successful, more later
