What do think of this bangle Jadies? I hope the link works. I found it on Suzanne's corner. It is the second bangle on her site. I like it and the price is good but it says it is pre owned. Not sure how I feel about that. Also doesn't say if it is A grade jade untreated. I think it's pretty.

Almost positive this is treated, jademommy, but very pretty. Her untreated bangles are always posted for significantly more than this, though she is open to best offers in my experience, even for items where 'best offer' isn't listed.

Thanks Cross - how can you tell or is it based in price? I think it's pretty but I am not comfortable with the pre owned aspect. And if it is treated all the more so not to get it. Thanks for your insight - I appreciate it :)

Because Suzanne's pics are so poor, it's based on price and my experience with her. I've bought 5 bangles from her and while I think all are nice, only one was translucent and really fine grained and that one was in the top four of my bangles in terms of price. Translucence and a pretty even color are closely related to price in grade a jade. It's hard, because a treated bangle CAN look like high quality grade a at a distance or in a not so great pic. So price is usually a good clue. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is!

Good point. She does have good reviews but I don't want a treated bangle:)

Hi jadies!

I do think Suzanne's corner is an easy to work with seller. She took an offer from me on a bangle even though it wasn't listed as a BIN, and then when it didn't work for me, made a return easy. Others have said when asked she'll confirm a bangle is treated or untreated.

But here is something... The bangles in the following pic are gorgy but out of my price range.. What I really want to know is where I can get a box like that!
