My Burma Myanmar gemstones :)

New goodies

@Burmesedaze The last bi looks wet The other two are so beautifuly colored... I love these round poked things & just about any jade as long as it ain't green.

I hear of people getting good jadeite pieces re-polished / carved / finished, as stone is more likely to be good than the work; any truth to this?

Lol donuts just look so complete. The last one has good lustre hence the wet look reflecting light.

Polishing does help usually if the jade isn't too rough. But carving it again to improve it is best left to the carvers. It could be done to rectify small flaws but whatever it is, they also run the riskof cracking/chipping. Though I suppose if from a large enough piece there may be more room for error.

Lavender flowerscape pendant and my icy green winter melon or banana leaf earrings today

 

[Burmesedaze]

Ran out for a last minute errand and put these on

Tangerine calabash earrings and a blue leaf set in just white gold #antiquestyle.

All jadeite

 

[Burmesedaze]

When the green is this fresh, it's hard to get tired of it and out of rotation.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Wearing my red jadeite pendant for the first time after it got set recently.
Paired with orangey yellow jadeite goldfish earrings and my first pink sapphire ring set in Burma.

The goldfish are from the same piece if rough but vary nevertheless.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Jadeite paired with my office attire today.

Light blue base stylistic wave pendant and floating green calabash earrings.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Looking forward to this. My first lavender jadeite cab ring. Feminine with blue flowers pattern at the side of the cab!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Next project, just completed

Thanks! I keep staring at the photo too. I have another pair of leaves in a different green and shape. Will probably reuse this design too!

Next projects in the works!

Now I have been away from jade, but this cab is a heart breaker!

Thank you. I got this cab about 2 years ago from my jewellers. It's pretty big and the quotes I've gotten to set this were all on the high side. Until I took a chance and sent it in to this jade setter that does not charge for a mould. This ring belongs firmly and solidly in the us1250 and under thread!

 

[Burmesedaze]

I don't really do cute, but I could not resist what is probably the best carving of a dolphin I've seen so far. At least to me!

It's bluish green jadeite but has strong saturation, translucency, icy, great shape and looks like a dolphin

Being set into a simple ring right now.

 

[Burmesedaze]

It's been a while since faceted stones.
Next possible purchases

Love this! The color is so soothing. I would wear that often.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Obviously low season at the setters. They got this convertible done in record time!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Finally jumping on the emerald bandwagon, which is really an extension of green stones!

 

[Burmesedaze]

The pear is 1.79ct only but faces up big and well cut with brilliance and no window. Lab memo says Columbian.

Square step emerald is 2.04ct, lab did not give origin.

Both minor oil

 

[lovedogs]

I love the color of the square stone!

Overcast morning. Daylight shots of the new baubles.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Not your usual jadeite but these remind me of ink paintings, very scenic and lyrical. They are on the small side but ok for pendants.

Note how 1 has horizontal and the other, vertical streaks. Highly icy and with splashes of green too.

Will design them to look like paintings!

Ok, now THAT jade is captivating! Gorgeous!

They are fairly rare this icy and nicely streaked

They remind me of this painting I bought from a leading Myanmar pioneer artist years ago. When he was still fairly affordable!

Really unusual. Will love to see how it turns out.
