Does it mean it's spotty in real life @Burmesedaze

Looks pretty to me!

Yup with tiny spots so it'd look oily or greasy rather than sparkly clear.

My 2 pairs of dangling corundum earrings. My jewellers think they are set by the same local bench

 

[lovedogs]

So gorgeous! also, more photos of the flower-looking red earrings please! Lovely!

Hi Burmesedaze, please, if you can, let me know where I can find a nice good burmese jadeite bangle of laokeng quality? On facebook is good. Very difficult to trust sellers.

Thank you.

Any colour texture budget and size you have in mind?

 

[Burmesedaze]

While icy_jade is having a whale of a time at the fair, I did online shopping through the local Facebook group instead

Ooh kill me now what bargain price did you snap that up for?

It can go on the bargain finds thread . But hey I paid like 6.5x of this for my first pink sapphire here so it has to even out!

This has a bubble inclusion apparently but isn't easily visible as the texture and crystal quality is good. Unheated.

Haha I'm telling myself to enjoy mine and not imagine what price YOU would have gotten it for

 

[Burmesedaze]

Nope anything 3ct here even s$5k is insufficient.

I like lavender colour - strong lavender

fine texture

I also like very trauslucent with vivid green (some of the green I see are just too black)

I also like moss on snow. Vivid green on fine white texture.

Budget - anything under usd10 000.

All Grade A only and at those price point, I would like a certificate.
Very difficult to see online as well. Anyone from Myanmar would be good.
I am under 54 mm in size and can wear up between 51 to 54 mm.

Thank you.

I like this type or eve a thinner donut cut but this colour with translucence is lovely too.

Really, I don't have one preference as long as I find the correct one.

No lavenders and icy ones here. You have to look in HK or China. Let me ask on the greens for you

Laokeng means old mine where three are fewer impurities fractures and such. Compared to younger jadeite.

You can try Allaboutjade. They can get local certificate and they do have some lovely icy bangles in smaller sizes. Think you can write to them and ask.

I only get to do this twice a year... you get to have nice stuff almost every day!

And I still couldn’t find nice and decently priced moonstones.

What did they quote you for the blue adularescent ones?

I second Allaboutjade for icy ones. But i really think it's hard to get a lavender at under us$10k.

Icy ones here too https://www.facebook.com/Myanmarjadeitebangles/

The strong blues were over 1k... I can’t really rem. I actually don’t mind buying but nothing in the size/shape I want

What size and shape? How high the dome is affects the ct weight too. I'd look for ground floor area coverage over dome.

Too high a dome subjects it to easier damage too.

Really??

No interest in this right? I posted on Tues. Trying too see if they can reduce it. No high dome.

Honestly it looks good to me. Any reason why I shouldn’t be interested in this?

Ok, maybe the size... I need decent finger coverage which I know u understand... apart from that honestly if it passes your standard I think I’ll be very happy with it.

 

[Burmesedaze]

You can see how it looks on my finger. I like the full sheen which is why I'm trying to neg on the price.

 

[icy_jade]

It looks really nice... how much is it? Or should we PM? Do I loupetroop msg you?

 

[Burmesedaze]

Let you know if/when we manage to bring it down. Otherwise i don't think it's worth it.

Defo under s$1k to begin with
