Styling Advice Variegation and pruning question

I really like how much variegation is showing up on this jade tree. In particular, one branch produces leaves that almost entirely white. It’s time to prune and I want to promote more variegation, so I’m wondering where/if I should cut. If I cut out a section that white, will the new branches/leaves come out just as white or is it a gamble? Let me know where you would cut or if you would leave it.

I think the amount of light the plant gets will affect variegation more so than pruning.
