LOL...it's too dangerous to lay them on my counter..... I broke one of my lavender bangle when I dropped it on my bathroom counterIt's weird...my fingers somehow just slipped and it felt..my heart dropped when I heard the sound as it hit the countertop....
But...it might look really nice if I place them all on the island...hehe....
I can see the gumminess in that green bangle in the light but I really like that peach. If it were cheap, I'd be suspiscious. If it were priced correctly, I wouldn't be able to afford it. If I could afford it, I'd have send it in to get checked at a lab. so hopefully I'm safe from fake imperial jade. lol
As we can see with the cheaper stuff that may or may not be spot treated jade, I am not so smart.
He quoted me about a 3-4 weeks because he said there were other orders ahead of mine! lol I'm thinking that makes it closer to valentine's day, but I am definitely looking forward to it. I asked for a princess round, so there will be lots of pictures.
Speaking of princesses...here are my latest UJ small princess bangles. The smaller one is 51.5 and her name is Baby Jade. I will call her Baby. The other one is 53.2 and has that lip on the inside, so her name is Lippy.
They match each other and look good with biggest sister Princess. They are so much lighter than Princess, and so much thinner. I'm worried about cracking them because I'm so clumsy.
Hi sisters, my hubby's grandma who is in her 90s joined us for CNY lunch yesterday. She was wearing a jade bangle that looked like a type B or C to me. My mil bought it for her fr a nearby market, and it looked totally dry and dull. Told my mil that I wld get a type A bangle for her mum so this morning, I went to UJ and got this baby. It's inexpensive; I paid SGD 190. What do you all think? Grandma is quite poor thing actually. She wanted to live in a home after the granddaughter whom she cared for since birth passed away at the age of 13 a few years ago. Since then, she hasn't been keen on any form of celebrations, birthdays/CNY. Hope this wld cheer her up!
I love moonstone, it has a mystical feeling...for some reason, when I see moonstone, it makes me think of unicorn...lol..don't ask me why 
?Okay ladies, I took my photos. The seller is gojade on e_bay.
Here is the bangle. I liked the color and liked the spot and it seemed like they had okay feedback, except for things being cracked or broken or not quite what was pictured.
It's thinner than I had thought it would be and lighter, even for the size. Just touching it feels different. Not quite fuzzy, but when you run your fingernail over it, you feel the little cracks, etc. My other jade feels smoother, more glassy except where there are actual surface flaws.
When you look at the surface, it is easy to see lines/pits all over the surface of the bangle, inside and out. The chime sounds duller and shorter.
So I louped with my 10x loupe plus camera phone.
Zoom.
This one is going back to the vendor.

This thread is a treasure with all the info and pictures to learn about jade qualities. I love it.
Thanks for the site link Faithgrace7! I wish I could see jade like this everyday.
Modeling pictures of Baby and Lippy! Conditions are outdoors, overcast, sun going down. I really like the look of the two thin bangles together. Not as pretty sounding as 2 of my thicker jades, but this is a very, very feminine look and a good balance for me since I'm so short with short forearms.
I can see where this would look absolutely divine with better color/grain/translucent jade.
Oh no...how awful for u! I hope u went out and bought a beautiful bangle to replace it!
But that one that I broke...I worn it for less than a week...maybe it's meant not to be with me
