Thank you for taking time to reply my silly question. I had forgotten that this is an international site and people in different countries will get theirs certified in different places.
I thought so too. I went in and placed a bid at $120 (instead of $220). The bid was accepted and I will wait to receive it. I do hope it is really Hetian Jade. I looked at the seller reviews and they were good.
These are So prettty! Do you always wear them together? I would have put them separately on each hand but I really like this look better!
You’re in Singapore right? Get it certified at Nanyang Gem Institute in Far East Plaza. The gemologist Mr Zeng has a good reputation. Ultimate Jadeite, Yokdee, All About Jade send their jade to him. The report costs $80, the verbal analysis costs $30 (wait an hour and you will be told if it’s grade A or not, no report).
If you bought your jade pieces in Singapore, the seller should get your items certified for you. It’s slightly cheaper at $70 as they have a trade discount.
Oh and it’s not a silly question. Always test your jade unless you buy from a reputable seller that you trust!
This is my favorite nephrite Hetian bangle. It is very high density and white close to mutton fat nephrite.
The green beads are Russian Siberian nephrite.

Your Hetian bangle is to die for. I adore the chunkiness of the princess. It’s beautiful on you. And those beads are delicious

JadeLeaf - just curious, so did you purchase this bangle? If you're still thinking about it and have questions, I would get in touch with the seller and see how much detail you can find out about the item, including where the source material is from. But it's very pretty, though - I hope all goes well
Edit: Sorry, I didn't see your later post that you did purchase it - don't forget to send a pic! Would love to see how lovely it looks on you!
