Why Bangle is Always Most Expensive? |
|
|
To make a jade bangle, you need to choose a piece of stone without any cracks and is usually of good transparency or even colour. The piece of stone has to be large and a piece of good quality jade is usually very hard to find. |

Colour & Luster |
|
|
To people who do not understand jade, jade is a piece of green stone. Burmese jade is of various colours and the inner beauty of jade is not appreciated just by colour. Burmese jade has its unique glossy luster, and for nephrite jade its greasy luster. |

Lavender Jade |
|
|
Natural colour of lavender jade is light. To distinguish genuine lavender jade from fakes, the most important thing to look at is colour. For dyed lavender jade, you will see "purple wrapping white" instead of "white wrapping purple" in the structure. |

What Type of Jade To Buy? |
|
|
If you are buying a piece to keep for long term, I suggest you buy a piece of better transparency than colour. High transpareny also means that the granula of jade is smaller and closer to fibre texture. Glassy jade is more durable and is of higher value. |

Buy Real Jade but not Resin-Filled Or Dyed Jade |
|
|
Only A Class jade is considered genuine Burmese jadeite and is valuable. For shops who do not label their products as A class or A Grade, you have to be really careful, especially for jade pieces sold for low price but with nice colour and transparency. |
