From singjade. I just can’t believe the price. It is not as translucent as my other bangles, but the polish is amazing.

Small Certified Hand Carved Green Lavender 100% Natural - Etsy

This Bangles item by Singjade has 9 favorites from Etsy shoppers. Ships from El Monte, CA. Listed on Sep 2, 2023

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 have purchased a bangle from gojade. The bangle is really pretty but is too small. I still have it as I am horrible at returns. It looks like legit Jadeite to me, so I am sure one of my nieces will get it at some point. I also purchased a hetian bangle from yukeyhouse on Etsy and it turned out to be fake. I paid a lot for it $400 something I think and that one was returned. A lot of Jadies here have purchased Jadeite from there and were very happy with their purchases. Unfortunately, my weakness is nephrite and ended up with a dud.

Oh, I was inquiring about a bangle from Yukeyhouse. Thanks for letting us know the nephrite was a dud.

@Alex B don’t buy that lavender bangle from Yukeyhouse. We can find one elsewhere. Even if that lavender one is genuine, I don’t like that Cyanide Rose ended up with a dud. As I’ve said before, probably best to not have a bangle born from dishonesty.

I will definitely not be buying from there. I am happy that we are able to orient ourselves through this forum, as I’ve avoided scams by listening to advice from here.

Dan Hurd is a channel I watch on YouTube and he is a teacher by profession. I have learned so much about gems and rocks from him, so I left a comment to ask about our jadeite bangles. Thought I would share here if you’d like.

Our jade is supposed to protect us. So let’s wear our pieces and should fate have it that it breaks for whatever reason, it’s protected us and a worse outcome.

I tried to wear mine at night, but sometimes it travels down my arm and pinches circulation, so I stopped trying at night. I wear many bangles.

You are very brave but I will be wearing more than one in the future. I recently bought a rose quartz bracelet on elastic cord so I can keep the bangle from sliding down all the time. It’s a little big but it doesn’t risk falling off. I also bought some smaller silicone spacers (the gold Buddhist rush bracelets) to keep them from hitting each other or my watch. Do you wear any on your dominant hand?
