very pretty bangles! sorry can't help you with the one you are considering to buy.. apparently even experts have a hard time telling grade A Jade from grade B/C just by sight. you can try asking the seller for a money back guarantee? like if you get it checked and it's not grade A, you want to be able to return it for a refund.

Good gosh I have so much to catch up on!



Very unique! I'm curious, how high do these type of Jade bangles fetch? or maybe the right question is.. what's the average price? Curious because where I'm from in Asia we hardly see these types of Jade bangles.

They can go for quite a bit, especially if it can be verified as being from a source like Ming's, Gump's, or Mason-Kay. It's not easy to find jadeite in the USA and gold is often more valued. Before I started collecting jade myself, I had no idea that unhinged bangles were more valued than hinged bangles. The gold and the uniqueness of the design of the bracing combined with the coloring of the jade will push the cost up.

I like the gold edging! What a great combo of precious metal & stone.

I really dig the way the lighting affects how "grey" the grey parts of Opeapea are. Depending on which way it's shining, you can see that those areas are more translucent and can look yellow-white or more clear. I noticed this due to the carved portions being more raised, so the light could shine through it. I wonder if I would have noticed as much if it had been a smooth bangle.
