Lol! He is swaying my mind from a yes to a no now... I like it a lot, but again, like Icyjade said, it is a lot of money for something with a defect.Tough choice indeed. No need to settle for one that does not feel right for you. Perfect, well that's another matter altogether.... Your husband is just is trying to make sure you are happy with *your* decision.Gotta read into what your gut is telling you about it, your husband will be fine with whichever one you choose. So sweet of him trying to be helpful.

Oh wow, I don’t think we were clear on the fact that the scratch wasn’t disclosed to you.
Oh yeah I’ve forgotten to mention that, the seller said it was perfect, and insisted it was perfect before she sent it to me via courier. But then when filmed it on video with 10x magnification, she then said she might have missed the small scratch. And at the very beginning she said I can return it if I am not happy with anything.
Thankfully you can get a refund, so you can get a bangle you will be happy with and wear it for the next 20+ years

I am so torn in between choices....
I’m gonna give it a few more hours before I make up my mind.
I’ll need to dig for the contacts...
In the meantime I think typically Ultimate Jadeite discloses such defects and the bangles are accordingly discounted. If you are paying a premium for a perfect bangle, then I’ll say no. If the price is really good (you know how bangles starts with tens of thousands for icy ones), then I think is fine.
Yess... That is what I was thinking, I know this is a great buy IF it was a perfect bangle, but then with a small scratch, it isn’t a bad price either, like you said, icy ones starts with tens of thousands, and this one is quite affordable compared to the rest I’ve seen so far.
These are the ones I recall:
- Angus Jewellery Ltd
- DeJade Jewellery
- Gransky Jewellery Limited
That is absolutely stunning! Both ring and bangle!! If you don’t mind, may I ask how much is the bangle? Or can privately message the price range? Thanks so much
Mrsblue this bangle is gorgeous and very icy. I’ve been reading the posts about this bangle and I agree the seller should have mentioned this but at least you k ow you can return it for a refund. It sounds like the bangle had been discounted due to the scratch. If the scratch is not noticeable and knowing that it is a good price for such an icy bangle I would probably keep it. It looks pretty under the different lighting you’ve shown us. By the way does your bangle look less icy and more “milky” for lack of a better description under certain lighting? This bangle of mine is fairly icy but more stone like in this pic
Wow these are stunning pieces Icyjade! I love how the imperial green jade cabs surround the clear cab. It’s a classic design but the pops of green are certainly not just setting stones here. It’s beautiful.
Hi 2boys, thank you! I’ve decided to keep it!!!
Been wearing it for almost a day now and the scratch doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would, and I was asking another jade seller about this “scratch”, she told me it is just minor unevenly polished, it is not really a scratch, and it could be polished away, however doing that might slightly alter the shape of the bangle, which I prefer not to.The seller of this bangle is still very nice and helpful, and I kinda prefer to believe that it was an honest mistake on her part to have missed the minor scratch when checking the bangle. It makes me feel more at peace that way.
(It floats my boat)And my bangle is not milky, under indoor fluorescence light at night, this is how it looks like.
