Hi Bernie,
Hahah. Guess we were all shocked to learn about this color polish thing. I'm so glad that UJ kept to her guarantee on her website and refunded me the money in full. Makes me more assured to buy other bangles from her. :)

Congrats... Congrats. This carved bangle is so dainty. Me too. I'm afraid of carved bangles that look OTT. They are so elaborate and overly done that it ends up looking messy & gaudy instead of elegant & refined. But yours is perfect. Actually I like the beading on the side. Can imagine all the painstaking work the carver put in to get them all looking just right. A testament to his skill. Enjoy your new bangle. Just in time to show her off during CNY.

Yes I think the amount of work done on carved ones are painstaking :) anyways. Thanks for sharing about color polish ! We learn something new everyday ...
 
Heartening that 2nd purchase works out fine for u ....both are beautiful .. Love it that both are of thicker width. A lot more jade to enjoy ...




She's been really generous with me but this ones coming from my pocket. Hope u are better now. Get well really soon!

$1249 usd ?

Maybe can try 1/2 to 2/3 of the price to see what she says . Is it a china seller . For personal reselling , most sellers would not lower much , but for big time jade business on ebay i feel they jack up the price alot ... like how DT willing to accept half the price for some of their bangles ...

Anyway no harm trying see if she will counter offer .

I got my for 460 usd .. 588 sgd ( mil bargain it down from 800 sgd about 4000 hkd ) ... but the one in your picture is of a much thicker width and more jade ;)

3jems, thanks for sharing about color polish. Wow, your teacher at NGI is on the cutting edge of his trade. I'd love to meet him and ask some questions, especially about this polish thing.

Today I went for a manicure wearing my first lavender-green bangle. I asked if they could let me put it under the light for a few seconds. During the nail drying process, I'd seen how my nails were neon blue, if you can imagine that. A bit like glow in the dark kind of effect. When I put the bangle in, there was nothing like that. It just looked like a bangle put under light. So I guess it's probably an A?

If so, it is a fine-grained A bangle, like what Storm Spirit mentioned before. My penlight shows tiny fly wing crystals and a somewhat dense structure, some natural pits but not spider-webby. So maybe i got lucky and got an A for my first bangle. It's just strange that for a fine grained, it doesn't look very luminous or moist on my wrist.

I really must make a trip down to NGI when I am in town and get myself educated.

Here's a pic of my bangle. The light is flattering here.

This is beautiful, druzy!!
 
It is flu season, everyone is getting sick here.

These past 2 days have been wet, windy, colder...so not fun Hawaii weather. I wish I had stayed home today, I think I would be happier. This thread has been the only thing to make me smile today... besides my jade bangles and my DS.

I wanted to zap lasers out of my eyes at everyone today. Same questions all the time on things I had repeated a million times. *deep breath* lol Time for some meditation.
 
Faithgrace- loving your new pinky Oliver and the miss green patch .

[/IturtleB]- seems like carved bangles are de riguer now :) . I concur with the other jadeite sistas here that the one you bought from gege has a very strong presence ! I love the hk purchases by your mommy . It's difficult not to get tempted when go go hk yes?

Druzy- yes I agree with Claire that your lavender is 46?!#€>> Awesome. Love the soft. Dreamy lavender shade. Will u wear this over cny or are you sticking to mossy :)

Dynasty!!! I dunno what to say except Omg when u saw your bangle... It's beautiful ... Love that it is thick and the violet glow and translucence is to die for . Your baby girl is so cute ... What a neat idea to put a bangle on her ... Is she enthralled and using it as a teether!

breadngem Re hi babe. Am very curious which one will adorn your wrist for cny!! I. Supposed u are still besotted with mh .

Jadelover i m looking forward to yours and tiffins re ws pics in Yukon snow... If Allan decides to resume work soon I m actually very tempted.need to rein myself in and it's do difficult seeing u ladies with so many new gorgeous acquisitions !!!!


Bernie, im probably stuck with the lavender bangle fr mh for now. I accidentally cut my hand couple of days back - nothing serious but the wound is still pretty sore..and i can't bear to push a bangle over my hand at the moment...unless it heals before cny :(:rolleyes:
 
3gems- I m quite shocked at your finding about the color polish thing and frankly I think I agree on your decision to get a refund despite it being grade A . We buy bangles based in how it looks at point of purchase do no point buying it and feeling uncomfortable about how it should look if the color fades etc. Does this color polishing things usually apply just to oil green bangles or bluish tones ones.... I was interested in a bluish bangle mil has earlier... Now this is so e good for thought after u have a major discovery on this color polishing issue. But u can keep your $$$ for more drool worthy things u are sure about in near future yes!!!



Mil got off morning flight and brought back this carved bangle from hk .. Actually I tried this bangle on during dec Xmas trip. It is. Very small only about 50 mm, that's why it's still un sold ... So I told her to get it .

To be honest ... I m averse to carved jade bangles with too many things ruyis plus peaches plus dragons plus Phoenix ... Throw in a couple of clouds too . But somehow this one has very minimal carving which appeal to me. Just a peach and ruyi on one side and a ruyi on the other side . I would have like it alittle better if it wasn't decorated by the beaded border.. But that doesn't bother me too much because I kinda find the peach and ruyi carving dainty enough ..

I m bringing my son for a soak in the pool now so might as well snap a modelled shot....

Very pretty! Lol..another green in white :D
 
I tried Jojo one more time but did not contact Jeff. I bought inexpensive pieces though and they came out decent. Just got home almost 11pm here so can't see in proper lighting.

They came pretty fast though with free shipping, having bought them on 1/17 and 1/21

One is $300, the other $99

Anyone know how to pull up photos of bought items on Jojo? The links are dead.
