Hi, I got a bangle. My husband thinks it is crazy how much Jade costs. I'm Asian and my folks are from China and my mom thinks Jade at a couple of $K is very not too much to pay for Jade. She's old school and sees Jade as very important and valued. She wishes she had bought more in the 70s. Btw, a question for anyone...one the the English translation for a certificate said "emerald" instead of "Jade". What is it? Does that mean it's not Jade? Thank you.

I would recommend you go online looks about Jadeite.on u tube there's is video of how to tell good Jade quality from fake .more information u have the smart you are at buying. i would do my homework on Jadeite, before u buying jadeite.one thing i will say emerald Jadeite cost hundreds sometimes even million dollars. so u can't buy emerald Jadeite for five hundred it's fake .[emoji724]buyers beware

I do believe there is a perfect bangle for everyone at a given moment. However, within our lives as we develop, grow and adjust to different stimuli, our lifestyle and desires change as well creating the need for different attributes in our jade. I think every jade piece has a divergent energy or spirit to it and we are then drawn to that piece that we desire to full fill at that given moment.

I don't have personal experience on such changes to my own jades. But I'd seen a shop owner's bangle looking more moist as compared with another sister bangle cut from the same stone that she was selling. The bangle that was being sold wasn't worn before.

Also this is my aunt's bangle (the green one) that she's worn for over 30 yrs. She said the colours are more intense now[/ o
Oh how sweet the pictures of the two [emoji7]

Just checked the canada post update and my bangle is estimated to be arriving on the 17th. If this is the case I won't get it before my trip. Does anyone know if they deliver in the mailbox? I'm assuming it will be delivered there and not left on my porch. I hope they don't just leave it there. Or maybe it will require signature. Anyone know ?

Whenever I go traveling I place my mail "on hold" so they dont deliver it until I get back. You can go online (at least in the states you can) and fill out the dates you will be gone so the post office can hold your mail and not deliver until you return.

Thank you Designergoods I never used that service before. I went on the canada post site and they need three days notice before start of service which may or may not help me. I'm thinking most likely they would not leave it in my porch. It should be small and so I think they will place in my mailbox which is locked. I know when I order clothes online they mostly arrive in my mailbox. The order doesn't indicate if signature required. It should be okay. Who knows maybe it will arrive tomorrow

Toad is from orientalart off ebay. A wonderful seller at fantastic prices. It is a fun piece that I will pass on to my DS. I enjoy wearing it and like the substantial size to it and details of Toad's skin :smile1:
