Hi ladies! I've been reading your jade threads the last couple of days and and been admiring your lovely pieces!! I want to dip my toes in and get my first Jade bangle! But would love your advice if possible!?



I don't have paypal any longer, so etsy is out? I do have eBay, but havent used my acct in like 15 yrs haha!!

So I've found a seller on Amazon. Does parma77 look reputable? Or has anyone bought anything from them? The other problem is my wrists are tiny. I have 5.5 inch wrists, and they're the only ones I can find with small enough bangles. Thank you thank you for your help!

When the colors are bright like that and the price is very low, the chance it is treated is high. Like lots love mentioned, dyes, polymers, bleaching, most likely.

If you are located looking for smaller sizes, it might be worth it to check out & contact Ultimate Jadeite on etsy or ebay. She has customers who don't use either platforms and probably could work out something with you.

Jeanek, that bangle is dyed. There is a seller on Etsy workingforanangel who doesn't take Paypal (I wish she did), and several of us have had good experiences with her.
 
Thank you so much you guys for steering me away from wasting my money. I'm so glad I asked! I had no idea I could buy on etsy with just cc. I still have PayPal hooked to an old email address to an old closed bank acct but I have no desire to open up something I'd never use again. so excited!

Runs to etsy...
 
Hey jade lovers!

My new bangle arrived yesterday from Suzanne Corner, and I'm super pleased with it. She's a creamy colour and that green spot turned out to be just as intense as in the eBay pictures.

I gave the silver sections a huge polish this morning, removing what was likely years of tarnish and exposing the lovely silver, which I think softens the overall effect of the bangle, I'm in love! I also gave the Jade itself a nice rub down with olive oil.

Also found out that 54 is pretty close to my smallest possible bangle size, had to use soap to get this one on.

So without further ado, here she is. Now I just need a name.

Congrats, she's yummy looking, like salted caramel ice cream with a piece of mint leaf.

Very nice Trekkie! I'm glad you are happy with your purchase - I'm waiting in a bangle from suzannes corner too:)
I love the spots of bright green on your bangle.
As for how to flatten the silver hinges I'm not sure but I would take it to a jewleller.
 
Congrats on everyone's new jade! Been traveling with Zelena (my most bright green BC nephrite) and a couple others. Will try to catch up when I'm back.
