[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 570114, member: 2844"]The pendant looks like so-called serpentine jade, serpentine which looks a bit like jade but isn't. The colour is difficult to see against that yellow towel, but from your description it is a celadon colour, very pale green. With that coin in the centre, it is probably meant to promote wealth. I'm with komo, given the quality of the necklace, jade is not likely anyway. On these necklaces beads like the ovoid and small round ones are usually calcite. There is a slight possibility that the donut beads are jade but their value would be negligible. The brownish bead rings could be carnelian. They are a nice touch.[/QUOTE]
