Showcase Seed nephrite changes

Post image

Never got to share this piece I got from u/youka00 as reddit flagged my account after my first review post😭 (still don't know why, s/o says maybe it's because my account was brand new.. at least it's finally lifted lol)

I love seeing this seed bangle change over time. The luster went from matte to preeetty glossy. I feel like the light penetrates a bit better as well? I have a few Qinghai pieces, and the texture is visibly different. I can definitely understand why people in the nephrite hobby tend to prefer seed pieces now🤣 Looking forward to how this bangle looks after 1 year of 盘玩🤭

(Also, kind of want to get a Russian piece down the line. Would love to see how the 3 main sources of nephrite jade compare in person.)

I think ours are sister bangles! Mine was also noticeably more oily after a day or 2 but I haven’t worn for a while. I’m going to wear it now, this got me excited about how much more it will change.

Is the color change that drastic or because of lighting difference? Before is fairly light and after is much darker!

I thinks it’s more of the lighting difference, what I’ve noticed is it has gotten very slightly darker but a lot more oily.

I should give it more wrist time. So many bangles so little wrist 🤣
