The Turkish purple jadeite beaded bracelet came today. Beautiful rich purple colour and strung on good quality elastic. I think it’ll go nicely with Lila. Need to think of a name. Maybe Violet.

I think you can´t go wrong with the dragon one...
Thank you!Yukon bangle with Pietersite bangle
I am just now learning about Pietersite. It’s stunning with your Yukon piece!
What does everyone use to clean their jade pieces? Last year, I stumbled upon a YouTube channel of a very sick girl but she also loved jade. She used a lamb skin cloth to wipe her jade jewelry and said it makes the jade glow. I think it’s because chamois is treated with fish oil.
I purchased one (lamb skin chamois for cars) and I can attest to that. I cleaned it with a ph balanced soap (I used Cetaphil, which is what I use for my face) and rinsed in lukewarm water until it ran clear. Hung to dry. I should have taken a picture of Puddle before and after but the cloth made a big difference. Better lighting so not exactly apples to apples.

I guess I might be the only one who has had a negative experience with UJ. As soon as I showed an interest in a few Jade rings and asked for more photos, the price of one of those rings has gone up, from €172 to €240. I am so disappointed.
I’m so sorry that you had a bad experience. Did you message Nandar about it?
Thank you! I did message Nandar about it. Basically, I couldn’t choose between the two rings I liked, and UJ actually offered me a very attractive price if I buy both ($318 whilst each ring was $180) but then at the same time, Nandar went and increased the price tag on one of those rings, the icy jade one, to $250. When I asked her about it, she told me that as she was taking photos for me, she realized the price was set too low because this icy jade ring turned out to be of a higher quality. After this, I told her I won’t be making a purchase if the original price has changed so dramatically so she offered me to buy this ring at its original price, $180. I am now very confused and don’t know if I should go for it or not make any purchases from this seller. It could be an honest mistake but it still seems sketchy to me. I’d really appreciate any advice
I think it was an honest mistake but don’t buy it if you’re not comfortable. She should have informed you though. It’s good that you messaged her about it. She offered you the original price and if you really like it, I’d say go for it. Maybe message her back and tell her you’d appreciate it if she let you know the price changed due to an error. I’m sure everything can be cleared up with some communication.Thank you! I did message Nandar about it.

I think if she was sketchy, she wouldn’t offer you the original price at all and just pretend she doesn’t know what you’re talking about imho.Thank you! I did message Nandar about it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. That’s a good point…
The icy jade ring is the one on the bottom. They both are so pretty in their own ways
