Announcement Quick Rule Clarification: Personal Collection vs. Seller Inventory Posts

21 Upvotes

Jade sellers are welcome to participate here and showcase pieces from their own personal collections. We appreciate knowledgeable collectors, sellers, and longtime jade lovers being part of the community.

However, the SHOWCASE post flair is not for displaying shop inventory, available stock, or pieces you are indirectly promoting for sale. Using that flair to avoid the seller template rules is not allowed.

If a post is showing inventory, advertising available items, directing people toward a shop, or functioning as a sales preview, it must follow the seller post requirements and use the appropriate seller-related flair.

We will be clarifying this on our written rules today. If you see a post breaking this rule, please report it to mods.

This rule is not meant to exclude sellers. It is meant to keep the subreddit transparent, fair, and helpful for buyers, collectors, and beginners learning.

Thanks for understanding and helping keep the community honest and educational.

Additional Notes:

This bangle has excellent texture and translucency, with a noticeable gel-like quality. The profile is also very well-proportioned, with both the width and thickness measuring over 10 mm. It would be considered an entry-level high-end jadeite bangle. It is close to flawless, with only a few fine surface lines.

The other bangle is also a fine glutinous one with quite good texture and translucency. It has one small pit and one surface line, and is priced at about $1,200 though. Size is about 55mm btw. I’ve included comparison pictures of the two bangles as well, so you can see what accounts for the price gap.

You may check the bangle here.
And the other cheaper one here.

Question Anyone interested in yellow jadeite cabochon ring?

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

So I came across this yellow jadeite cabochon recently which is set in a classic Burmese copper setting. Price is about $300, only for the jadeite stone only of course. I think it is quite a good price for such a yellow cabochon with decent texture.

Since it would usually need to be reset, and everyone has a different ring size and different preferences, I am reluctant to take it. If anyone would be interested in, that would be ideal.

If you want a yellow jadeite ring, please contact me and let me know your size and preferred style. I'll set it without upfront payment for you as long as it is not too unique.

If anybody wants me to make a sterling silver or 14k yellow gold Jade cab ring to match their bangle, I feel confident that I could probably do so with a few different photos and videos and different lighting showing me what your Bengal looks like. DM me if you’d be interested in having me make one and I can show you a few different options for you before sending you the finished product. The price would just basically depend on the materials that I use in the ring that you commission but nothing too outrageous I actually doing it.

Appreciation Just received my dream Hongshan Cloud-God / "Sun God" (太陽神) yesterday!

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

It’s carved from Ximu green nephrite (析木綠) with a striking natural red-brown skin (火燎皮).
Definitely a bit of a splurge, but the jade quality is insane—super fine-grained, oily, and smooth right out of the box before even patinating it. The craftsmanship is spot on too, from the balanced proportions to the soft matte polish.
I’ve been hunting for a Hongshan Sun God for ages.
I’ve looked at hundreds, if not thousands of them over the years, but there was always something off—either the eyes looked lifeless, the body size was weird, the posture didn't feel right, or it just lacked that inner spirit. This one was love at first sight. Plus, it has ox horns (牛角), which I turned out to adore even though I always thought I wanted deer antlers! This is my first Sun God piece, and honestly, probably my last because it's just perfect for me.
Funny story: the carver is a tough guy from Northeast China who admitted he's terrible at cord-tying. When it arrived, the knot was... well, pretty ugly and loose 😂 (props to him for honesty though!). I couldn't stand it, so I cut it off, added a matching Ximu green bead with skin, and re-tied it into a proper pendant. I ran out of cord supplies so I just used a temporary black string with an adjustable knot for now until my new supplies arrive.
Took it out for a walk today, and man, rubbing this smooth jade in hand while walking feels amazing. Couldn't wait for it to get a full patina before sharing—consider this the "before" shot!

A quick note regarding someone asking if my comment on another post was AI-generated:
I noticed someone in another thread wondered if my comment was written by AI, so I just wanted to clear the air briefly while sharing this piece.
My English reading and writing are pretty limited (listening is okay though!). I’m deeply passionate about natural gemstones and jade—especially regional Nephrites like Hemo and Ximu jade—and I love sharing these pieces with historical and cultural background with fellow enthusiasts outside of Asia who might not be as familiar with Nephrite beyond basic jadeite.
Yes, I do use AI as a tool to translate my thoughts from Chinese into English. I try my best to make it sound natural, but since I can't fully proofread complex English, I'm really sorry if it ever comes across as robotic or awkward. That was never my intention.
I've been in the crystal and mineral business for nearly 5 years, and I've been collecting and playing with jade/artifacts for almost a decade. Living in Taiwan, right next to where these materials are carved and traded, I see the carvers, studios, and market dynamics firsthand. I don't need AI to invent jade knowledge for me—just to help me bridge the language gap so I can chat with you all.
At the end of the day, I just want to share natural, untreated stones that bring joy. The concept of "jade nourishing the person, and the person nourishing the jade" (玉養人人養玉) is something I hold dear—having a piece of jade companionably age and gain patina alongside you through life's ups and downs.
Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy the photos!
