Hi Hepdog, I have also had good experience with Yokdee. I also had a certificate made for this leaf (Nan Yang), so I am sure about this seller.

And I am drooling here! The jade combo in your earrings is called the interlock. As lifted from the description of another pair of interlock earrings on a website, "The circles are a symbol of eternity, with no beginning or end." Interlocks like this are magnificent because each interlock is carved from a single piece of jadeite. Congrats on a beautiful find!!!
Thanks and thank you for the explanation. You never stop learning. I was wondering how they do it, the two rings hanging inside each other. Well, that justifies the price a little!And I am drooling here! The jade combo in your earrings is called the interlock.

They have entire bracelets and necklaces like that too. Here is mine:

Dendrites for a splash of variety. I polished this one with zam yesterday and it came out perfect. I don’t like super shiny or dull, especially for nephrite bangles. So I’m happy

Very pretty! I love green and gold together. The froggies and coins and gems look great in the rich gold.Sharing hub late grandma jade bracelet gifted to me.

Here's my new-to-me necklace. Nephrite beads and 14k yellow gold links... it's not quite my style with the longer bars in between the twisty loops, but I thought it would make a nice match for my bracelets. The nephrite is on par quality-wise with the pearl/nephrite bracelet, but still not as green-glassy-clear as the larger Gump's beads.

I know I said I wouldn’t buy any more D shaped bangles until I got my chubby princess round cut….. but I couldn’t help myself, especially at the price… I have no regrets! This is an oval bangle, at the widest is 51, and the narrowest is 47mm, and the seller (allaboutjadecanada) said it amounted to a 49mm round. I took a risk because the smallest I had worn before was a 50mm with a lot of struggle but with some lotion this bangle slid on fairly easily. The texture is amazing! There’s not a single scratch, chip, crack, or roughness. The color is amazing, and it fits so nicely on my wrist. It’s the closest fit I have. And other than my slim princess bangles, it is the most comfortable. I see now why so many say D cut is so comfortable. I think I was just wearing sizes that were slightly too big for me. I bought another one (my first carved bangle) as well, but I did not wear it today.
Congrats, beautiful bangle. It looks great on you. AAJC is so nice. I really like this seller
I’m finally home and can post my other newest bangle. I got it from the same seller as my oval. It is a 52 mm circular d shape. Additionally, it is my first carved bangle. I was not expecting to love the carving so much! It feels so good against the fingers. It’s got a darker and a lighter side, which is nice since it allows for a variety of pendants to be worn alongside it. The only thing that worries me about this bangle is the amount of hairlines in it. The seller disclosed them beforehand, but said they could not be felt. I can definitely feel some of them. I don’t mind with the price point, but I just worry about durability. Now, they don’t look like cracks, they seem healed some how? But one goes through the width of the bangle in a slant. This one cannot be felt, but still worries me. I’ll try to post the best possible pictures so it can be seen. Should I be worried with daily wear? I have another that has many hairlines too and I don’t really worry and it’s been ok thus far. The one I circled is the one that worries me, since it can also be seen from the back (also circled)
I absolutely know how you feel. My most recently purchased bangle has a crack all the way through. I posted it a few days ago. I love a bangle with Dendrites and so I had to purchase it. The crack doesn’t worry me at all. I wear it a lot a lot
I will eventually band it myself. Idk why but I think I can do it. Here is my big ole all the way through crack.
