Oh I’m sorry. I got your bangles mixed up. Matcha is very beautiful and watery, especially in Target lighting. Mine isn’t any special colour either, just plain green, but I feel its calming and healing presence.

You should ask her if it affects the durability of the bangle. It looks like a surface crack only from the picture. I wouldn’t worry about the crack. I have favorited some bangles from her shop and others with minor cracks and reduced prices. My current bangle was sold as no cracks but there is a healed fracture and some hairlines that are natural.From singjade. I just can’t believe the price. It is not as translucent as my other bangles, but the polish is amazing.

But I also want another one, more expensive from ultimate jadeite. Around 220 US. More expensive, but it’s translucent and pink and green. The only downside is that it has an unfeelable crack line according to Nandar. It’s a top grade bangle, and the only reason it’s that price is because of the “crack”

No problem! I get my bangles mixed up, and they’re mine
You should ask Singjade for a picture of the QR code on the certificate. I don’t trust the certificates coming out of China because a lot of them are fakes. Scan the QR code and see if it takes you to the lab website. You can also post here if you like. Most likely it will be in Chinese (I don’t know if you can read it, but I can do it for you if you like, and also check Google translate).From singjade. I just can’t believe the price.

It’s an opaque bangle with no water and typical oily look of jadeite. It might be so inexpensive due to this and also because it’s so small. Hard to sell small bangles like that and of course, less material used.
@Alex B I looked up the certificate number on the Singjade bangle and it says no such certificate found. Here is the screen shot. It could still be real jadeite, which I think it is, but the seller doesn’t want to spend the extra to get a legitimate certificate. I wouldn’t buy it even if it was real jadeite because of the seller’s dishonesty. The bangle won’t give off good intentions, imho.
Out of curiosity, I checked a certificate of a bangle I favourited and inquired about from AllaboutjadeCanada. It doesn’t check out. I think this is still jadeite but the seller doesn’t want to spend the money to get the certificate. Regardless, I won’t be buying from them and I’m glad you asked about Singjade as it piqued my interest to go down this rabbit hole!

Mine just came in from there, I’ll check the certificate when I get home. 
Oh no, that worries me now. Some of my fav bangles are from allaboutjadecanada. Can I post the certificates I have from those bangles? Can you check them? I can’t understand what they say, but many people on here buy from them. I’m so worried now.Out of curiosity, I checked a certificate of a bangle I favourited and inquired about from AllaboutjadeCanada. It doesn’t check out.

Don’t worry, Alex. Their jade is unlikely to be fake from the pictures. The seller probably does not want to spend the money for a legitimate certificate so they either slapped a certificate together or someone gave them a fake certificate, BUT as a seller they should have checked. I don’t think another person gave them that certificate. It speaks volumes about their dishonesty and that is a total turn off, no matter the quality of their jade pieces. Know what I mean?
Many people buy from them and because of that, someone is likely to catch a fake if they aren’t genuine jadeite. It’s just the shortcut some of these sellers decide to take to keep their prices low. Not a good business practice. Should be like UJ and have the buyer opt for a certificate for a fee, if they choose.
