Just posting my collection of Jade pieces, all of them passed down to me from my parents and have sentimental value.
I don't wear Jade as I had a bad experience and memory with losing the centre marquise Imperial Jade cabochon from a ring with a double diamond halo that my mum treasured and gave to me some years ago during one drunken work related event in mid 90s.
Of the pieces I have, I would probably repurpose the saddle ring by having the top part set into a ring with a Rose Gold bezel setting with a diamond halo. The bottom part perhaps into a bangle or another ring.
The bar pendant belonged to my maternal grandmother who died when my mum was in her early teens, and this was the only item my mum had of hers.
The largest piece I believe was a pendant of some sort, in the colour and translucency that resembles lard as originally described to me. It was made to commemorate the joint wedding of my uncles No. 1 and No. 4 (my dad's side was a big family), with the Chinese characters meaning 'Double Happiness'. It is normally displayed on a stand.
Group shot:
Small pendant - there is another in the group pic as part of a keyring in the bottom left hand corner:
I call this the cabbage pendant as the carving reminds me of a Chinese Leaf cabbage
, I wore this when I was younger:
My maternal grandmother's bar pendant:
The saddle ring that I quite like for its colour and transparency, and may repurpose it into more wearable pieces, a ring with the top saddle part, and either another ring or a bangle with the shank if possible:
The 'Double Happiness' ? Pendant, which is normally hanging on a display stand:
