<p>[QUOTE=&quot;northernridge, post: 118017, member: 215&quot;]Here is what (to me) is a very impressive string of jade—or jadeite—beads, purchased at Laurel House Antiques (consignment shop) in Marin County, CA. They measure about 48&quot; long, and weigh an impressive 8.3 ounces, or 234 grams. The problem I&#039;m having is that the vast majority sold on eBay seem to be selling for very little, mostly less than $10. Here is an exception:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-Multicolored-Jadeite-Jade-Bead-Necklace-Bracelet-Lot-6A-/151900256696?hash=item235df5f9b8:g:kFAAAOSwNphWZ0DB" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-Multicolored-Jadeite-Jade-Bead-Necklace-Bracelet-Lot-6A-/151900256696?hash=item235df5f9b8:g:kFAAAOSwNphWZ0DB" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-Multicolored-Jadeite-Jade-Bead-Necklace-Bracelet-Lot-6A-/151900256696?hash=item235df5f9b8:g:kFAAAOSwNphWZ0DB</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are three closeups.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge152/CM%20J%202_zpskcsxzglg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge152/CM%20J%203_zpstkld4zng.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge152/CM%20J%201_zpsctur9ceo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Because there&#039;s such a wide range of sold prices, my suspicion is that most of what&#039;s listed on eBay are not authentic. I know these are, because of both the weight and the fact that they are cold, in a warm house.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice you can give me will so appreciated. Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
