No, the seller stated it’s a flawless piece. I think that’s my qualm about this. When I received the bangle and asked him about it, he said it’s a natural cotton or inclusion that’s close to the surface so it couldn’t really be polished out. However small, I feel like it should’ve been disclosed. He then further went to say oh even bangles double the price may still have such flaws, etc. in real life it looks like a dot that’s a different color in the patch.
My take is I don’t need to be educated that “oh even bangles double the price may still have such flaws, etc.”. That’s not the point. Since you mentioned “seller stated it’s a flawless piece.”, then “ even bangles double the price may still have such flaws” as per his words would contradict that, doesn’t it?

I cannot stand not truthful seller. Doesn’t matter the product is $1 or multiple zeros after.

Agreed. Unfortunately, I can’t return the bangle as I’m overseas.

Can you feel the spot with your finger like it was a chip or a rough spot? Or is it under the surface? Regardless, I would think that flawless meant flawless. But I am curious as to whether this is an internal spot or a polishing flaw. For me personally I would be less pleased if it was a chip or rough spot than if it was an internal spot.

I can feel it when I run my fingernail over it. The chip itself is around 1mm, so smaller than the surface area of that dot, but the coloring makes it seem bigger than it is.
 
Hi, do you mind linking me to the website you used?
Here you go: http://hkkjjl.com/en/check-certificate/

The chip might feel only 1mm but with all the residue wax trap around that area, the bangle could be a lot rougher than it looks. Is it possible to ask for a partial refund?

All said, I do think it's a lovely bangle! The subtle green flowers are so pretty. I've been hunting for the a blue-ish bangle for myself for some time - hopefully I find that dream bangle soon!
 
Hi everyone, does this certificate look legit? I tried inputting the certificate number and weight into the website but I get an error message. The seller is firm that the bangle and grade A and testing was done at the lab with receipts. Could it be that the HK lab website is just wonky or I inputted the wrong thing?

Is this seller by any chance oga.hk on IG? Asking because I thought I recognize that towel and table setup. I considered buying a “flawless” bangle from him but thought his price was a bit high.

Thank you! I was on another website and couldn’t get it to work. Overall, I do like the bangle but I just wish this was disclosed upfront.

Sorry to hear it’s not going your way at this point.

I’m not sure what it entails ; I’ve read there’s some kind of buyer protection (PayPal, etc), if you plan to go there.

Despite that, it’s a pretty piece. Sometimes it’s all about making peace and enjoy what comes :smile:
Thank you, I think I’ll make peace with it and probably stick to other sellers I’ve bought from before.


And thanks to everyone else who gave their opinions and checking the certificate!

Here’s a pic of the bangle in action. :smile:
