    I am doing some sorting, and these two necklaces are testing as jadeite. One is longer. I researched white jade/jadeite, I am stumped as to grade/value. Thanks. Clasps are base metal.

    Don't worry about grades. Just list them as a white jadeite jade necklaces, that's fine. Look for similar ones with base metal clasps for comparison.

    Ok, I m showing my true colors here, but how exactly would you test as jade/jadeite?
    -still a novice on some points but curious- :D (I know there are in fact 2 different minerals)

    Hubby bought me one for my birthday a few years ago. It has been well worth it.

    Yep, for me too. First thing I tested turned out not to be a CZ ring, but a diamond :D
