I just bought this bangle and feel super excited. I had one really similar and just send it to my mom. I miss it so much! I can't wait to put this on since my mom is always wearing the other one!
I usually buy 55, this is 52 so hope it goes in.

I love it - so fresh! I have a smilimar one:)

If you can get 55 on without soap then 52 mm should be ok with soap but it may be a bit painful. I have a low pain threshold though.
I'm sure it will look great on you because it will be a snug fit.

Very happy for you 😊

I just think the mixed colour carvings are incredible. The vision the carvers must have before they begin... amazing skill.

Are we allowed to discuss eBay sellers on here? Only there's a seller on eBay with some affordable pendants that are listed as:

"The gemstone is natural jade, non-enhanced, non-dyed, 100% natural in color, Sold as seen."

They also list lots of bangles that are really cheap and really translucent and vivid purples and greens and describe those as:

" A beautiful piece of natural light purple and green jade bangle. Sold as seen."

So they're not declaring any treatments, but they're not declaring those pieces are UN-treated. So, would you think it's safe to say their pendants are legitimately grade A? Only there's a lovely one that matches Fatty's subtle tones so nicely :)

I think in the cases where sellers say "natural jade" without specifying treatments, it's important for the buyer to ask about treatment. I know at least one seller who states "natural jade" to mean that the jade is untreated, but most are trying to skirt the treatment issue. Treated jade is still "natural jade" because the stone is jade in origin, and not glass, agate, serpentine, etc.

With the pendants they specify no enhancement or dying. So because they don't try to pass off their obviously treated bangles as not enhanced or dyed, do you think I can trust them that their pendants are what they say they are?

Jade4Me and all the other Jadies here are a couple more pics of my beads. I've had them for a long time but not sure what they are. Could they be nephrite? They are from my moms aunt in Hong Kong and have sat in my jewellery box for over a decade.

Even if the listing says untreated, I ask again and specifically about polymers and bleaching and color polish. Color polish doesn't affect the jade, so it's still "untreated"... but the polish fades like makeup.
