Hello Jadies and jade sisters!!!
Life has been hectic!!!!!
My kids were sick for the past week and we ve bee trying to get ready for Halloween as well. I found out my youngest son, my baby who's 7 might have to get his tonsils removed. They are going to try to shrink them with steroids as a last ditch effort.
AND a lot of my pelvic pain Is slowly subsiding!!!!???? I have been faithfully wearing my dark green hetian, it's a snug fit at 58mm--my regular bangle size is a 61mm!! So this baby is on for the long haul.
I can see WHY all u jadies be talkin about Hetian this, hetian that, Hetians! !! They are buttery smooth!!!! The feel...I just sit there feeling my bangle like a weirdo LOL!!!!
I HAVE TO SAY, it HAS helped a lot..... Jade as medicine??? You better believe it!!!!

Glad to hear the bangle has been helping you feel better. It's a gorgeous bangle too 😉
Hopefully your little guy won't have to have his tonsils removed.
I've been sick with a bad cold too. Must be the time of year. Hopefully it won't be too cold Halloween night.

Welcome back! Glad to hear it's helping! YAY! :D

As Junkenpo has said, there are many factors that affect the price of jade. For bangles, colour & translucency have the biggest impact on price. In general the higher the translucency, the more expensive the bangle will be, and intense coloured bangles usually fetch higher prices than those with soft colours. Stone lines don't affect price as much as cracks.

As long as the seller has a good returns policy, is willing to answer questions and provide detailed photos from multiple angles, buying online is absolutely fine. Problem with jade is that it's near impossible to photograph accurately, so the real thing almost always looks slightly different to what you may have expected, but if you can accept this, you'll find much better deals online than in store :smile1:
Thank you dear for your feedback! :) I'm gonna try my luck online now. hehe :)

@babydarling---
There is a nice looking smoky gray bangle on ebay right now....it's less then $100 I think.
Then there's this one for $39
I ve got some nice opaques from this seller for inexpensive prices. Once in awhile this seller auctions off super nice looking translucents starting at $1 and let's it go from there. I almost won a nice one for $2.75 bit a sniper got me last second (literally! ) I ve also seen their dollar auctions go as high as $1000 for beautiful purple-y lavenders that were oh so Beautiful!!!!
Eep!! Can you PM me the seller name? :D I've been going through the list on the "reputable jade sellers" thread and working my way from there.

That's a hard one....I think so much is in play with this. I was buying out a seller who didn't really have an idea how much jade was worth!! LOL!!!! I bought soo many nice bangles for $10, $15, $20 bucks and then I resold lots of them from so much more. Lol, they caught on and now I see those same bangles I was buying for pennies on the dollar priced at $250 on up!! It depends for sure. BUT I think regular opaques that HAVE some ok color(s, seem To Be GOING FOR $39 TO $120 right now.... THE TranslucenT ones seem to be starting at $250 on up....and all those starting prices are the ones that are just so-so but still can be beautiful :-)
hahahaha they've caught on! :laugh: I'm perfectly fine with opaque for now, translucent ones are in my future goals. Thanks so much for the feedback! :)

Hello Jadies and jade sisters!!!

I can see WHY all u jadies be talkin about Hetian this, hetian that, Hetians! !! They are buttery smooth!!!! The feel...I just sit there feeling my bangle like a weirdo LOL!!!!
I HAVE TO SAY, it HAS helped a lot..... Jade as medicine??? You better believe it!!!!

I guess it must be the season for illness, my DS has the worst chest cold/cough, at least the fever is gone now. I hope you and your baby heal up, too.

Your hetian is lovely. I am in love with nephrite, too.

Maybe a better question to ask is, if you don't mind sharing, what's a price range you feel comfortable paying for a grade A bangle when purchasing online? :)

For Grade A bangles, I have paid as little as US$11 ($3 bangle plus $8 shipping) and high as low four figures.
