Both of these sellers GoJade and JadeiteRoom are from HK, both of them have same items from time to time. I wonder if they buy from the same supplier, so that means JadeiteRoom is severely overpriced, these earrings seen are selling for $135 while the one pendant seen from GoJade auction sold for $0.06 cents!
So are these Jadeite items fake or what? One seller has them for very cheap while the other one is very high priced.
Not sure if any other sellers get from same supplier but so far these two sellers seem to have similarities. Also most of their jadeite is definitely CNC machined.

Most of the time buyers have to top up to get it certified at NGI. Unless its an expensive piece then the seller may absorb the cost.
I think there are many factors involved when it comes to pricing of jade. The items they sell may be similar but we need to consider factors like stone lines and cracks and the quality of jade. And there is always this saying that gold has a price but jade doesn't.
Most importantly, get something you like
I had the orange jadeite donut I bought earlier set into a “ kumquat” (mini mandarin orange style ) , with a tiny green leaf & diamond “stem” .
What a great idea. The leaf is so delicate. So beautifully done. Thanks for sharing
Ohmygosh! I love the color on that little orange! I love the leaf and the stem. Itʻs so cute, and still has that jadeite sophistication. Iʻm envious!
Thanks! I love your rainbow color jade bracelet too . Recently in bright happy colors because this year has been rather gloomy !
Thank u dear Junkenpo . I shall wear this for Chinese New Year next year . It’s our Chinese tradition to exchange mandarin oranges over where I m . Haha
I recently sold away some of my bangles . I m not sure if it’s piling on that couple of pounds during this covid season , food being a source of comfort or age . But I can’t put some on some of my smaller bangles on with ease anymore . But I have a new fetish now . Jadeite beads . When strung on elastic threads , they are fairly easy to put on and don’t give me bruises . These were strung for my parents sometime ago . I read some articles about some positive health effects with the movement of beads on the accuppoints of the wrist ,and my parents seemed to enjoy wearing them . Sharing them before I delete the pictures .
Love this - the vibrant orange, the dreamy green, just the whole concept
Also love all your colourful harmonious beads
