No, and I won’t buy from her. It is not “old mine” jadeite as she says, plus she’s gotten a lot of complaints if you do a search online. She operates under several different names, such as Yingyu Jade, etc, so beware. Her descriptions and posts are all the same style of writing so you can easily tell it’s the same person.
I love the colours. Two toned but interwoven seamlessly. Have you thought of a name? I didn’t know naming bangles was a thing until I came to this community. I think Gaia is a fitting name. She is the Greek goddess of earth, and your bangle reminds me very much of that.
Those listings seem to all be taken from Gojade (the original seller on ebay responsible for those listing pictures) which I'm suspecting it's another reseller after purchasing large stocks of jades from Gojade since they have lots of jades up for auction. Especially with this type of quality, I think the price is fine, maybe overpriced given the type of jade but I think it's still worth a shot if you REALLY want it.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”

I don’t think the price is overly cheap either, given the quality and it’s not an icy type. Depends what you like, Alex. I know you’re after a lavender bangle but choose one you really like and just get that one. Makes it extra special and more room in your collection for other colours if you like. Just my thought.
Glad to hear it. Now that Crabapple mentioned who she is, I recognize the story. No good.
I do like his homogenous, uniform fine grain bangles that sometimes come up, although opaque. I bought one once, but it was too small (I was still learning). It was hard to part with. Not my bangle, I just borrowed the image. I am still watching for one to replace the one too small.
What is your bangle size? Are you looking for an opaque bangle with a lavender hue? I can keep an eye out if you like.
I wear a 59.5 to 62. It is so kind of you to keep me in mind as you look. However, I am not going to buy again for a while - this one will be my next purchase from the jadefund. When my pockets have recovered a bit in the spring I will be most appreciative of help! I am saving for this one....soon soon my pretty! It is translucent with snow clouds inside on part of the bangle. I can't wait! (Seller's photo). Since photos are not mine, I won't post too many. But I can't wait!
I didn't know about names either, until I saw this is a common thing. Gaia is very fitting. I agree there is a strong earth element to this bangle, and a wildness. I tried to shine a flashlight through and only patches had any translucence at all. It is an odd dense jade.
No deposit yet, but this seller and I have had business in the past and I have committed to buy. She is a lovely person to deal with and I trust her. She is on Loupetroop as Burmesedaze. I am not sure if she is more a collector or a seller. For me, she wears my size, so we have an affinity and I have no problem picking up anything she no longer wants
She has a great eye. Not sure if you go on there often, but I can tell you she is a reputable person to deal with. I did have a bangle I bought from her tested. She has an icy Wuji black that is in a 52 - to die for.Thanks for the tip! I have never heard of Loupetroop but I will check it out.No deposit yet, but this seller and I have had business in the past and I have committed to buy.
