Specific Gravity of Grade B Jadeite

[prs]

Hi @suzanne2 This is the NY State auction in question and they have some mouthwatering items by USA standards at mouthwatering prices!

Oops, too late to edit. If you checked out the auction you'll know I meant mouth watering items at eye watering prices!

LOL, I was confused! I saw a bunch of beautiful jade and thought the prices were way high, but what do I know? I'm glad you changed your post!

Please excuse the awful clothes and feral hair. It's been a crazy morning!

The chain is lovely and I love the way it swings but I worry it will break especially with the weight.

Also the lace earrings are hefty! I certainly won't be going any bigger for my personal tolerance of weight on ears.

Congrats for this first buy !

Thank you!!! I'm excited to see yours and everyone else's stuff too! I'm really happy as everything has gone very smoothly this transaction despite the language barrier. I'm also glad I bought a lot of earrings

The fish are truly a wonderful surprise though. They were super bargain and looked unremarkable in the bargain bin! I only bought them because they were wacky and I like wacky things. They are soooooo nice in real life. The jade colour and texture is so pretty!!! It's like they used the good scraps from a fresh green bangle

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Two other pairs I bought.

Clear faintly green leaves



Lavender/blue hoops

I did not manage to negotiate for that white icy moxisha mine donut (with small green bit placed on it) - last at rmb9888, so I consoled myself with a light lavender ruyi.

Ok I am swearing off livestream purchases for a while!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@Burmesedaze do you get the notifications and do they call out to you?

hehe I am soooo lucky I don't understand chinese so I am safe from livestream!

Someone on my shipping forum suggested kindly that I should aim to go on a no buy for the rest of the month! I was like "But there are only 7 days left in December" and she was like "Yes and if you can make it, that will be wonderful."

I'm like "You people have no faith in me!"

@Duyen did your bangle arrive yet???? I am SUPER excited about that! I wanna see what it's like!

 

[Burmesedaze]

You type in the comment box and they respond verbally so everything is real time. One of the YY helpers will contact you on wechat or fb to arrange payment and shipping.

Hmm my jeweller says that donut will cost around us1500-2000 IF it can be found in Myanmar since they can't do nice donuts and that is basically mined out material. So that seller's price isn't far off.

Oooh what you gonna dooooooooo?

Hehe I should be prepping for the Christmas lunch tomorrow but instead I have palmed my kid off to my sister, am eating creme brulee with Yanxi playing in the background while I look at jade on Wechat

 

[Burmesedaze]

Wait and see if fate finds me? I prefer over 3cm.

 

[Burmesedaze]

This is also moxisha material but has a green base colour. Big over 3cm. Cheaper by at least half price

I consoled myself with a small lavender donut.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Lol you get lured by the live chat again

You're unstoppable!

 

[Burmesedaze]

You can see, Moxisha can be same mine but all different quality. My longish scenery pendant is also moxisha jade but is way icier.

Like someone's 7 day no buy!

I'm focusing. On coloured goods only. Or a big nice icy donut.

FOCUS.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I have vowed to the universe that I need to go until end of Jan without buying or Olicity will not have a child. We shippers very much want an Olicitot so I think my chance of success is high of a no buy.

And you guys are now like "Wtf you crazy woman"

 

[Burmesedaze]

I'm getting them to add 18k white bails with small diamonds to my purple donut and my light lavender ruyi. It's under US$50 for 1 and just over US$100 for the other for the setting!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Hi there,
Guess what ? I do not understand a clue in Chinese either, but tried to catch up with the live session yesterday thanks to “google translate apps” theoretically allowing you to have any verbal conversation translated ! You picture me with my iPad on one lap, playing the live session, and my iPhone on the other to play google translate apps, and all the way, my concentrated face inches from those devices, just as if I could understand Chinese all of a sudden
Luckily for my end-of-year budget, they speak too fast for the apps to catch up with all the words, and to translate properly, and miracle hasn’t happened with me being still so ignorant with Chinese !

Regarding the bangle, the tracking says that it has cleared the customs today with no tax to be paid . I hope I will receive it by Thursday, before going to the alps to play Heidi.
Sure I keep you posted.

 

[Burmesedaze]

That's great! They usually put a lower value on the form and are pretty flexible about it.

 

[Burmesedaze]

I also realise the colours on my laptop are duller for livestream than on my LG and Samsung phones. They are better approximations than the phone. So I balance my laptop and use my phone to comment on the livestream and the other phone to message my jeweller to ask for her views on pricing/product hahaha.

We techno ladies LoL

We techno ladies LoL

Lol take it as a language learning session. Or cultural immersion

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I'm in research phase now so give me your opinions guys.

Would this be too murky?

I want as big as possible for the next green and a lighter tone. I'm ok tending towards blue or yellow green.

 

[suzanne2]

I love to wake up to this thread. I'm giggling at 5 am.
A few days ago I tried to ask about something through Wechat and couldn't figure out how to include the description with the picture... They kept telling me 'need word!' and 'too many pictures'...I finally gave up lol.

Looks a bit uneven

 

[Burmesedaze]

See, I'm focused.

Muna jadeite donuts with snowflakes.

Done!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Was that the expensive one? Or did you find one at a better price?

 

[Burmesedaze]

Different material but also river jadeite that's mined out.
Different proportions but yes, under RMB 9888

It really depends on the different sellers' flexibility.

 

[ChaiK]

Am travelling again. To head for the alps. I cannot buy. .

 

[ChaiK]

@mellowyellowgirl, wait till you really cannot buy. You would be crying your eyes out. I saw the cabbages, 100 fortune, 白菜, 百財, I cannot buy. Wail....
