Your pendants are beautiful, Alex! The last one must be heavy. Is it clear or does it have a hint of lavender?

There are small spots of fine texture but Lila is mostly medium texture I would say. She is a lot more sugary than Skye. Skye is half medium and half fine texture. The half of Skye that is fine texture is absolutely divine.

I purchased this pendant from Jade Rabbit Gems on Etsy. It was advertised as “no visible stone vein and no rough surface”. However, the pendant has a crack in it so I will be returning this to the seller and have asked them to cover the return shipping costs as this is misrepresented. Two for two in terms of buying from new shops and that’s it. I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll just stick to UJ and Allan from now on.

Can’t recommend this shop due to lack of flaws disclosure.

The seller replied back and said this is a “colour transition part of the jadeite” but it looks like a stone line to me. Either way, she agreed to a return and reimburse for shipping. I have to pay taxes to return it though.

Oh spring is so pretty! It’s like a creamy green. I like the band. I was hoping to look through UJ jadeite but I noticed that she’s in vacation. Here are some of my pendants. I didn’t take a picture of all of them because I’m too tired. These are the ones I wear the most.

I got this one from UJ, w/ a twisted gold bail. It’s a pretty Chonky pendant. I love wearing it. It looks greener in some lighting. It’s got great texture. My favorite jadeite pendant.

I also got this one from ultimate jadeite. I got it because it looked like a cucumber lol. I also thought the green was super pretty. Like a gold green. The texture is good, but not as good as my leaf pendant.

I got this one from Mason Kay Jade. It’s a carved dragon. I really like it, but there are some areas that are not polished as well. I didn’t mind that, but one day I dropped it, and I got the feeling it got scratched in one corner. I thought I could file down the roughness; I was wrong. Now I kinda messed up a corner of it. I don’t wear it as much anymore because of that. I can’t believe i did that to it, ugh. And again, I don’t want to send it to get polished due to mail being unreliable.

She will be back on Jan 20, Singapore time!

No. And I probably won’t. She says it was verbally authenticated in San Francisco. She has no documentation to come along with that bangle. I’m wary of buying it.

Oh not that one supposedly from Ming/Qing dynasty. I was referring to the white carved snake bangle that you had on hold until the 15th. The one to satisfy your Slytherin heart as you said, lol.
