BECAUSE OF THIS BLOG, I KEEP AN EYE ON JADE PRICES ACROSS THE NET AND HAVE NOTICED THAT OF LATE THERE IS A SLIGHT DROP IN JADE PRICES. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS SEASONAL, OR HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH AN INCREASE IN SUPPLY COMING OUT OF THE FAR EAST. AT ANY RATE, IT SEEMS TO BE A GOOD TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LOWER PRICES IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT INVESTING IN JADE OR JUST BUYING THAT UNIQUE GIFT FOR THAT SPECIAL PERSON IN YOUR LIFE. THE PRICES I'VE BEEN WATCHING ARE COMING FROM THOSE OUTLETS ON THE WEST COAST ESPECIALLY CALIFORNIA AND ARE NOT REFLECTED ACROSS THE NATION AS A WHOLE. AT ANY RATE JUST CHECK AROUND BEFORE BUYING THAT JADE NECKLACE OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF JADE JEWELRY.
