Naomi Shen

Naomi Shen is Editor-in-Chief at Jadeship, running the testing bench and writing most of its identification explainers. Coverage includes jadeite and nephrite identification, treatment disclosures and retail price comparisons, beginning with orders Naomi places personally. Magnified and fibre-optic inspection, refractive index, hydrostatic specific gravity, UV response and colour comparison under fixed north light form the bench record. Each bangle is worn for 30 days before scoring, and asking prices at three retailers are checked again on scoring day, bringing the tests, wear observations and current prices into the same review.

How I test

Naomi places every order personally. On arrival, the full bench sequence covers loupe and fibre-optic inspection at 10x and 30x, refractive index, hydrostatic specific gravity, long-wave and short-wave UV, and side-by-side colour comparison under fixed north light. Each bangle is worn for 30 days before its score is set, with asking prices at three retailers rechecked on scoring day.
