3jems, you can go to the colored stone forum on Pricescope. They have lists of recommended vendors, they can help you understand ideal cuts, find precision cutters, understand hue, tone, tint, secondary color valuation and saturation and all of that gem jargon. They know who is doing what in the industry. You can post pics of gems and jewelry that you are thinking of and give you extremely professional opinions before you buy that other sales people will not tell you. Great, great resource when you are ready to venture into those waters.


Thanks so much for sharing all these Claire. Appreciate it so so much. ;)

And yes. All these gem jargon & terminology makes it hard for laypeople like me to fully grasp & understand gemology. So much factors to consider and there is no standard pricing for gems. Which makes comparison of stones & jewelry pieces even more complex. Will definitely find time to do some reading on Pricescope before venturing. I do not want to get con (again). Not after my 1st Jade fiasco. If I can find recommended sellers based locally, that will be even better. Gives me more piece of mind. :)
 
Oooh.... thanks goodness I didn't trade in my green bean bangle :p Thanks for the info Faithgrace!

Thank you for sharing in my excitement, ladies!!

Clairejune I got it from Jojo. I decided to chance it once more after my last bad experience where Jeff was rude. I had asked for more photos of this one when I was returning the other and he refused. After a few months, it was still there so I thought maybe it was meant to be mine. I scaled back expectations too and assumed the color would be more muted than the photos, which they are in real life but I still like it.

NYC princess, GORGEOUS!!! She's just beautiful! I can see that she's blue, but like so many blue jades can morph into green and lavender shades given the light. Ugh, i just LOVE that bangle!!!

Thanks, Silver Mom!


Definitely BLUE and Beautiful, NYC P.


NYCprincess, I just can't get over how pretty your bangle is! I would have chosen that one over many, many other bangles too. May I ask where you got it? Sorry if you already posted that.

Beautiful :loveeyes:

It's definitely blue babe. A very gorgeous sky blue Jade bangle. ;)

If you got it from JoJo it is for sure Grade A. What a bargain price for such a beautiful piece. So very happy for you.
 
More photos of the greyish green bangle, this time in natural light. Haven't really worn this one yet.

This was the $99 bangle, definitely very opaque but I think it looks very interesting with the green/gray swirls. Industrial almost.

Think I'm getting a little photo happy in this thread ha!

NYC princess, I'm glad you got it and gave jojo another chance. We all have different opinions about them, but I am glad they are available and think they have lovely things. That is a superb bangle, and the price is just incredible! Great buy!!

Wow, the other one is gorgeous too!!! What great colors! Love your pretty manicure, btw. Silver Mom is right, they are definitely grade A's.

So pretty. Is this from JoJo too? Another great price. I see your blue bangle peeking out in the corner. I really love that one.

Yep they're both from Jojo! I got them a week apart and they got to me at the same time on Wednesday I think. Pretty fast because I ordered on 1/17 and 1/21 or so, with standard free shipping.


You guys are so sweet! Especially Silver Mom with your intense blue bangle!!


Clairejune's one is more blue than mine too. Where did you get yours again?


Glad to know they are Grade A.


Thanks about my manicure! Although I'm overdue for an appointment for a new manicure haha! My manicure salon gets booked 3-4 weeks out; my appointment fell on the first rehearsal of a non profit choir I'm part of, and I wanted to honor my commitment to that.
 
NYCprincess, you did so well. The colors really are TDF. The more opaque one reminds me of a Monet painting! The colors are happy, poetic, like a summer garden. I can imagine it with a floral print summer dress! And the big blue one is so luminous....like a summer sky. Wow, you must be really happy. I bet they would look great worn together or one one each wrist.

If I am not mistaken clairejune got hers from JOJO. She also got a great buy because it is so gorgeous too. You both are so lucky.
