    dear all

    been reading about jade
    https://www.wikihow.com/Tell-if-Jade-Is-Real
    https://www.gia.edu/jade-quality-factor
    ..... but posting here is so much more fun :happy::happy:

    i have no idea whether these are valuable, mum never kept the receipts :rage::rage::facepalm::facepalm::hilarious::hilarious: some older pieces belong to grandma and great grandma e.g. buttons and jade rings. of course mum could have taken some old jade pieces to the jeweller for setting.
    jade spiders are tie pins, right?

    regards

    Hi Phaik,
    You have some really nice pieces there. They are wonderful. I can not tell real jade from fake so just nice pieces.

    Your jade jewelry appears to be what was popular back in the 1960s - 70s. Sorry can't help with the quality of the jade, although it looks to be on the better side. You may need to go to a gemologist.

    This is most likely Peking glass and not stone.

    I agree with time period. Mostly 1960s-1970s.

    tq all!

    yep the ones in the first photo are mum's, so 1960-70s :happy::happy:
    no sure about the bangles but the beads are "young" :hilarious:. the buttons are peranakan, and the 2 rings are old, pre-WWII. some of the bracelets may belong to my grandma, so earlier than 1960s :D

    i will have to take them to the local jewellers as i am planning to part with them ... :(:(
