I'd say same quality as the leaf earrings my sister bought me in terms of the metalwork. Very smooth, nothing wonky. Very well made but I think with the ring it's noticeable where they've tried to save money on the diamonds.

Nothing wrong or black about the diamonds but they are teeny tiny. Like super teeny tiny. I don't know if they get bigger for the more expensive rings but they are pretty darn small here. The metal work around the teeny tiny diamonds is nice though.

I feel like if they used more reasonable sized diamonds it would make the ring look more...luxurious. I'm not talking about a giant halo but just slightly bigger diamonds.

More pics because I can!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

And even more!!!! I'm so in love. I think this size stone is my sweet spot for jade.

I'm in bed with the ring on first thing in the morning. Pink Bandit is cracking up and says it's good value for the amount of joy I've derived from it.

Sooo shiny! I can see myself in the stone like a mirror.

To die for. I really really love that ring @mellowyellowgirl

Now I want one too! I like this kind of green. Very very lovely.

A jade that takes a good polish really makes a difference. So many factors in jadeite buying!

You know I used to think polishing was just rubbing the rock until it was shiny

I think my donuts didn't take polish well. They are not very shiny at all. I remember thinking it was weird they were so different to my necklace beads. They haven't got much water to them either but considering they are a pair from the bargain bin, the cost probably would have skyrocketed if they were watery.

I feel so awesome! I was in the jewellry store today looking at all the jade and everyone was staring at my ring which was way nicer than the stuff on display. I was internally rejoicing that it was much cheaper too!

Their rings were my donut quality. Nothing you guys would even look at!

Mellowgirl when buying from the FB lady are we suppose to negotiate on the price?

I've tried and failed but my items were all sub $1000.

I pay by direct transfer so I get 5% off and she throws in free postage for everyone I think.

The others who have bought items over $1000 have better luck with discounts I think.

Hahaha. I always get that with my imperial jade ring. I’ve been asked by people and jewelry shop owners if they could take a photo of it, and even had requests to inspect it (seriously, then they loupe it and when they see it’s A jade, they are awed). My stone isn’t even that big. Bigger than the usual cab but not like exceptional size or anything. Some even asked in different occasions if it’s an emerald.

Few jadeite take a very high polish. Many stones are very hard to polish.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!!
What a great find. A lovely ring and an amazing shade of green.

Stunning! I have never been a big fan of jade because the jade jewelry I see people wearing in real life looks nothing like your jade. After seeing yours - I now see the attraction. The color and glow is mesmerizing. I could stare all day.

Lovely deep green and love the halo. It great to hear that you have found THE cab after hunting for quite a while and that you love it so much.

The FB Lady has a lot of nice green cabs . I can only go back one week before the FB page stuffs up.

Don't bother going far back. They're probably all sold. Several other sellers list the stock so it sells out pretty quickly.

She posts stuff everyday so there will be plenty of eye candy.

I hope you don’t mind me posting here but I thought these are pretty cool.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Not at all! I always love seeing what other people like.

In Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (tv show) a lot of the consorts wore whole jade rings which I thought was pretty cool.

I should watch an episode of that show. Lol

I'll link you the trailer when I get home! Plenty of jade in the trailer!

One of the scenes that really appealed to my gem loving self was when a consort complained that the evil consort gave her a giant chrysoberyl and she's got to wear it around to show good will. I was so impressed that the translators who did the English subs were so precise to name chrysoberyl specifically. Got such a big kick from that!

Here you go

I've seen the flat jade disc dangly earrings on Facebook lady's bargain bin page

That and I want a full jade ring! Lol probably not enough to pay whatever the rate is for it though (saw a few and they weren't cheap)
