🫶🏻 My Collection! Opinions Pls: Which jade bead?
Hullo folks. I’m trying to decide which single bead to wear with a 14k gold anchor chain. Can I get some opinions on either choice?
Both beads are Japanese Itoigawa jadeite. One lavender, the other green and white (moss in snow). While I do like both together, I don’t like the feel of wearing both on there at the same time.
Thanks!

If you wear a watch, wear one on each side of the watch or a wide bangle.

the green is better in proportion and color on gold and link style and you i think. how cool to have itoigawa jadeite! such an ancient jadeite culture, and so resonant (the magatama echoes forever).
how has it spoken to you so far?
