“Pink/Oufen” Hetian Jade
I bought a “pink/oufen” Hetian jade bracelet, but after restringing it from pink string to white string, it suddenly looked like a dull creamy/off-white color instead.
This is actually the second time this happened to me with “pink” Hetian jade beads.
The first bracelet I bought turned out to just be white beads with pink string, but this one seems different in person.
I’m wondering:
- Is this actually nephrite/Hetian jade?
- If yes, what color category would this be called? Is this considered cream, yellowish white, or something else?
- How is the quality of the stones?
The seller marketed it as “pink Hetian jade,” but under neutral lighting and white string it looks more like a creamy yellow-white color to me.
