Has anybody had any experience with Bofung Jewelry on Etsy? https://www.etsy.com/shop/BofungJewelry?ref=l2-shopheader-name
Hi Dingobeast I have not personally. They have some jade watches that looked interesting. Are you thinking of getting something from their site?
Hi, 2Boys_Jademommy. I am not sure, everything looks almost too good, and there aren't many reviews. It makes me nervous.
At a quick glance some pieces do look a little too good to be true for the price. Also to me it looks like there is a mix of treated and non treated jade so I would be careful. You may find a good deal in a true gem but it could go the other way. If you are nervous I would not buy from them unless you plan on getting the jade tested and if the seller agrees to a full refund if found to be treated.
Happy New Year Jadies!! [emoji8]
Aloha my fellow jadies! Mele Kalikimaka! I hope your Christmases are overflowing with friends, family, good cheer, and lots of jade!
Jade earrings from me to me for Christmas, and I gave my MIL one of my larger carved bangles to replace one that broke on her.

Recently I noticed in nephrite market, there are more so called “cat-eye” nephrite. I have two of them. I personally think most of the cat-eye efforts are due to the cutting of the cabochons. A good “cat-eye” is mobile, like the ring I have, well a “bad” (still look beautiful though) is not mobile and the lighted line only stays in the middle, like the pendant I have here.
