Hi Everyone,

I was hoping to get your opinion on something, I purchased this piece from a very reputable seller so I'm not super concerned but just wanted to figure out why there is a glowing dot on this bangle when under UV light. The dot is actually where there is a small chip and on the chip there is some sort of impurity so I think it's natural but I have other bangles that have small chips too which do not glow like that. This is my most expensive piece yet so wanted to see if anyone knows what it could be?

Many Thanks!View attachment 4871244
I actually have had this happen in one of my jade carving as well! This what I assume to be wax covering the area or possibly the mineral inclusion having a reaction towards the UV light.
 
I do not think UJ is THAT overpriced given what looks like to be higher quality jade. There are a lot of factors to look out for when pricing jade. Based on my experience buying locally and from China, I think her prices are slightly premium, but NOT THAT high.

I have the privilege of staying in Singapore and am planning to arrange for an in-person consultation soon. I’ll report back here once that happens.

In the meantime, sharing my latest acquisition!View attachment 4870707
Love that green and translucence

Beautiful and mesmerizing!

Would you consider putting a buffer bracelet in between your beautiful watch and bangle to protect both?

Thank you! This bangle has been with me for a few years. It’s icy with slight tinge of green. Certified type A.

Actually, I stopped wearing watches shortly after I got used to wearing jadeite bangles 24/7... too scary to wear both together plus with hp don’t really need watches to tell time. Happened across the watch when I was looking for other stuff and thought to take some pics.

But can you pls share if you have any recommended buffer bracelet? TIA!

I've heard jadies would wear those telephone cord bracelet as a buffer bracelet and they seem to do wonders, there are others who wore those silicone beaded bracelet as well and I think those seem to work better since it's firmer compared to the telephone cord bracelet but both will do it's job very well either way. :P
