Ooh, I love a good yellow, and the orange makes it that much better!
Wearing one of the bangles I got from a seller who advertises pieces as certified grade A, but I have serious doubts. It didn't beat up my wallet too much, so that's good. Maybe I'll get it tested professionally someday, but for now, I do enjoy the colors and will absolutely wear it.
So, so, so, so pretty!
This is such a bright, cheery bangle. I bet it brings out smiles from everyone.
It can be such a letdown to find out that a seller might not be honest, or might not know their own product that well. If you like it, don't stress too much. It does have great colors.
And for my own bit of good news!
My husband is so nice to me. He detailed my car today and he found the heart & pearl pendant I lost earlier in the year. I'm so happy. I haven't taken any new photos of it, but here's a repost to see how nicely it matched with the necklace. I won't wear them together anymore, it falls off the hook too easily now!

Does anyone know the credibility of this lab? http://zjcmtc.com/
I'm looking to buy from Etsy seller YolandaJewelryShop (https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/YolandaJewelryShop) and she said her certificates come from there. She also said she will give full refund if the jade doesn't test as grade-A.
What do people think? Should I trust her?

Ah! love the hearts, i like the 3d-ness of them, and the lavender is such a calming color. How encouraging to have some weight loss... I haven't done a good job of reducing my intake, so no weight loss for me yet. sigh.
Does the QR code go to the bangle? I haven't purchased from the shop before, but nothing sets off my alarms looking at the wares, though it is hard to make judgments from photos. As long as she has a good refund policy, then only you can decide if it is worth the chance. If you do make a purchase, please post your experience in the reliable jade sellers thread. It will be helpful to let others know how it goes.
Here's a close-up of my recovered pendant. I'm wearing it on a regular chain, so I don't have to worry about losing it. There is a pearl and curlicue on the other side, so it can flip and still look the same.
Can someone tell me or identify this Jade? The necklace was recently inherited & no one knows anything about the piece within the family. The necklace is very cool & heavy but I know nothing about jade. I thought you could better see the beads with the light from underneath since the light from above just gave way to many reflections. Each bead is about 13mm+/- in size & there is around 47-50 beads. I just want to know if further research is even worth my time.
Thanks to all that read &/or reply!

Hi nicrob28, from the pictures you posted, it is impossible for us to tell with any certainty what kind of beads you have. What do they look like under natural sunlight? They could be glass, nephrite, aventurine, serpentine, jadeite or dyed quartz. If you live in the USA, then you could send them in to GIA or Mason-Kay for testing.
One quick thing you might do is to place the beads under UV light (blacklight). If the beads glow, then they're probably not jadeite or are possibly treated jadeite, or still, might be some other stone.
