Question
my two jade bangles
Dear Madam, I am a beginner in jade world. But I really like this stone,and have many collections of jade from different sources. In this moment, I would like to ask about my jade bangles. I found these two have rather unique carvings compare to others. If I attach the picture here,wolud you please tell me are those bangle come from good jade or what grade are they? Maybe old jade or just a junk. Thank you for your sincere help.
AnswerHello Anelis and thank you for your inquiry. You have two nicely carved jade bangles. It is difficult to tell much about the quality without a hands-on examination, so I would suggest that you take them to a gemologist for positive grade information.
