How much did u end up paying for a custom bangle? I’m willing to pay around a thousand.
I think it really depends on the colour, translucency, etc. I can’t wait to see which one you pick!
It really depends on the material and size you're choosing. Mine from Allan (JadeDiver) was quite similar to this in size, material, and price https://www.etsy.com/listing/107354...how_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details
I wanted an olmec blue one with healed fractures like this one.
Unless you're choosing one of his ultra premium rare jades in a huge size, I would guess that you can definitely get a custom bangle from him in that price range. You should really look through his current and past listings on etsy and just message him with what you're looking for. He should be able to let you know if he has suitable material and the cost, no problem.
I can try for some pictures tomorrow. It changes color a lot with lighting, so it's hard to capture.
I’ve been trying to photograph my slim cut blue green bangle and imperial green cuff in sunlight but it’s been raining here so much. So this is the best I can do with limited sunlight for the slim cut bangle and indoor lighting for the cuff
Your bracelets are beautiful. I love the look of the bangle especially. Just very pretty and elegant on your wrist. I love the color.
awww bummer. I asked Allan about this butterscotch bangle in a different size and he doesn’t have any more of the material.

It’s so gorgeous. I asked him to send me some pictures of an alternative he suggested.

I have this one that perplexes me. It was sold as grade A. It came from China with a fake certificate. When I checked was a porn site. Under UV the black spots and clouds glow in places. It looks like wax but had gone inside of the bangle in the rough spots. I was refunded and told to keep the bangle. It sounds like a grade A with chime. I think it is wax impregnated in the rough spots. The surface has normal jadeite look with tiny divots and texture.
I am glad you got your money refunded but I’m not sure about wearing that bangle. I don’t want to scare you but we don’t know what chemicals or bleach was used to treat this bangle and it could make us very sick in the long run because those chemicals are being absorbed into our bloodstream via the skin.
I didn't wear it for a long time. I do have a BC bright emerald green bangle that sounds like plastic and no clear voice when you tap for sound. This bangle sounds fine and clear. The surface texture looks like normal jade. I think this is normal jade that was treated with wax on the bad spots. I'll send to Mason Kay for an evaluation. If it was B or B C jade, they didn't bleach the black spots.
You know more about this than I do. How much would Mason Kay charge for an assessment? Have you banged this bangle on a hard surface before? It would be very brittle and fragile if it were bleached I think.
