I agree with C Rose and Bernie. You should go to the store and either exchange for another bangle or ask what they can do to make you happy.
While translucency is a huge factor in pricing, colour is also a big factor and yours does have some nice greens in there. With jade pricing the addition of translucency, colour, texture adds to the price but stone lines, cracks, mottling reduces the price. Ultimately it comes down to these factors plus how much you love the bangle and how strong a connection to it you feel when it’s on your wrist. Good luck with your decision. [emoji4]
This is very trendy and young . Looks good with the shiny silver bangles !
Thanks everyone! All your advice have been very useful. I spoke to the staff, and she concurred they are minor scratches. They’re not major, but I would have liked to be informed of their existence before I bought. Like Ultimate Jadeite store will mention if there are any surface scratches etc.
I’ll go back to the main store later this week to see if there’s anything else that catches my eyes.

Thanks dearest Uli! A very good friend of mine came up with the name and showed me the bangle, I’m very grateful for that [emoji16]
The carvings are painstakingly done and quite lot of details . Is this nephrite ?
Hi berniechocolate! Yes it is nephrite, I keep going back to nephrite. I am stalking a jadeite bangle at the moment though [emoji4]
CR, Fleur is so graceful. Cherry blossoms? I love the green color and both sides of flowers.
Wearing Belle today. She is jadeite and hinged, made this way, not broken and banded. Fits much closer to my wrist so I can type and do other stuff without banging around much at all.

Thanks JB! Plum blossoms? [emoji4] Your hinged bangle it’s TDF! I had one a long time ago and never wore it. It seems like they are really in now. Hmmm [emoji6]
Fleur Est magnifique. [emoji6] I love love love the flower carvings - intricate and just lovely and the colour is an art of nature. So happy for you CRose [emoji4][emoji7]
Belle is a beauty and you definitely get a closer fit with the hinge. Looks gorgeous on you. [emoji7]
Gosh both your and C Rose’s bangle make me want a carved one.
