PurseNut, your name might well be Ripka Nut!!! Love those pieces paired with Jade.
Everyone's jade is really stunning...
As for UJ being pricey, I have compared pricing on the east coast USA and I have yet to find jade as beautiful...price compares, but the quality does not (when you can even find jadeite.) I look at it this way: Nandar is picking out the best of the crop, and I am happy to pay a slight premium for that service. I usually tell her my budget, and my desire and she shows me several options and answers my numerous questions!! I'm sure if I could get to Singapore, I might find lesser expensive shops...but since I'm not likely to get there, this is a great option for me.

I'm in Markham (Canadian here:) and we do have some Jade stores selling grade A jadeite and nephrite too. It's hard to compare prices with UJ but I would say UJ's prices seem fair and competitive to the price I see in the stores.
JoJo has a huge range of price points for bangles. I was wondering if you were to compare the bangles that are around the $800.00-$1200.00 that JoJo sells vs the $800.00 - $1200.00 ones that UJ sells would the quality be similar? I am not sure if my question is appropriate to ask but I was just curious and the only reason I chose these two sites is because many Jadies have bought from them and they are both known to be very reputable sellers. Please disregard my question if it is not appropriate to ask on the thread.

I haven't purchased from JoJo, so I really cannot speak to the question...but I do think it's a valid one to ask. JoJo appears to be a more high volume dealer of different types of jades. UJ seems more narrow in their inventory.

I agree JOJO has more variety and range. From what I can see the quality seems better for the money but then again their pics are under very bright lighting and they do not have pics indoor and outdoor the way UJ has. Also they may be able to offer more for slightly less because they are a huge company so perhaps not a fair comparison.

All you Jadies in here check this out. I have the Google Translator (free app) on my iPhone and I was playing around with it and it translates the Chinese on the Jade certifications!! It was easy too.
I don't know if anyone else has tried it or not. I was like Wow this is cool!

Good to see you Ixorajade :smile: What a spectacular view and your traveling bangle looks so perfect on your wrist.
Sorry to hear about your necklace and pendant. Other than that I'm sure you had a fantastic time:)
