Lol...this is the reason why i always pick my own gifts. Reduces the "surprise/shock" factor

Yah. So nowadays I prefer to choose my own gifts too. All he needs to do is make payment. Heheh.

Very pretty!

Hello everyone,

I just received my bangle back with its identification report! As promised, I have included the pictures below with some modeling shots.
This is the bangle that I bought from jojo, $750 USD, lowered down from $920USD.

Very lovely. A good price too.

U always look so nice, Daisy.

One of the things i miss about working in an office is the ability or rather, need, to dress up everyday.

I work from home and i am forever in shorts & t shirts, which i double up as pjs too. : (

That's good that you are happy with the quality from SC. According to Sophia, "this one doesn't have good photos to see details so I can't give common on it. However I looked through this seller's store and found some treated jade bangle described as untreated jade. You may verify with seller before purchase to make sure the one you are purchasing is untreated A grade."


I tried asking SC for more photos and general quality questions about her bangle, and no response. I had many back and forth emails with Sophia and she was also very responsive and took more photos for me.

NYC P- This is the problem i faced with SC too! She replied my initial email, which was why i bought from her. But after that, it became so hard getting responses from her. Terribly frustrating!

I ended up buying this oval white bangle from Sophia.

She says this one has a slight tinge of lavender, and she also took photos of a round white with a slight tinge of green.

She says the oval's grain was 8.5 of 10 and better color but has some patches which brings the price down, and the round is more pure but the grain is 6.5 of 10.

I'm a free thinker but when I see the beauty of the jade today, I was like wow! So I bought it.

A really unusual pendant. Could you share how much you paid for this?

Hi 3jems! Here's a photo of my earring. Bought it as a market. Was told it's made of silver. No idea about the stone. Could be glass for all I know...
