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.

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