    Cool video. Thanks for mentioning our Wyoming Jade Fest.
    I appreciate that. My wife and I are the folks that put on the Wyoming Jade Fest.

    So many beautiful works of art, as well as some mind-boggling roughs from around the world.
    Seeing this video is inspiring for me as an amateur jade carver.
    I seem to be the only one (that I know of in Southern Ontario) who has taken on the task to carve jade. It has a nice "centering" for me...
    I want to learn more about techniques so I can improve my carvings (like most other jade carvers, it seems we are all self taught).
    Hopefully I can source some jade rough not just from BC. Very interested in how other types of jade are to work with.
    Thanks for posting this JOTT.

    Thanks for including a brief image of my pendant in the carving competition. I received a silver for this Big Sur jade. The design is my own. I only carve pieces of my own design. I can only carve a few pieces a year. So, I am not well known.

    Anyone thinking of going defs should, the downtown strip and pier right next to this plaza had amazing food (crab, fried artichoke, turkish coffee) and beautiful nature just up the street, everyone at the show was super zen.
    It was such a great show, I bought those maw sitsit beads, and one of the pipes at the start. Great seeing you and your husband too!

      @JewelsoftheTrade  Год назад +1

      That’s gonna be a stellar piece! Shane is great. We’ve bought multiple pieces from him, but my husband’s favorite is a nephrite bead bracelet featuring various origins of jade. Indonesian, Khotan, Siberian and more! It’s truly one of a kind.

    Why are people shining lights into and through jade? Is it to check for translucence?

    • @JewelsoftheTrade
      @JewelsoftheTrade  Год назад +3

      Jade shoppers / sellers will often shine a penlight through cabochons, bangles, and rough to check for internal fractures, but it also demonstrates translucence and may give a closer-to-accurate display of what hue/color the jade will be once it’s cut.

      ​@JewelsoftheTrade Hi, anybody whom you know would buy some rough jaideite and nephrite jades? I am from the Philippines and we have collections of Hugh quality jaideite and nephrite jade's. Some boulders weigh almost 40 kilos. Please, if you have some contacts of legit buyers kindly refer me for possible negotiations. Thank you.

    All jade in there are real right? There is no fake one in this kind of show?

    • @JewelsoftheTrade
      @JewelsoftheTrade  Год назад +1

      Hi there! I am not entirely sure. There were a lot of vendors and a lot of product. If anyone is selling treated jade or a jade simulant there, it’s probably not intentional. But most companies don’t have internal testing services to guarantee their product like Mason-Kay does. If you’re interested in buying a piece from one of these sellers, you might asked them where they sourced it and how they can guarantee it’s authenticity. 😊 My husband and I have bought pieces from Yax Tun, Mayan Mountain, Freshwater Jade and Just In Jade (featured at MBFF) with confidence that their jade is genuine / natural. Hope that helps!
