Hey JadedJae I'm glad you got your refund and happy that you found another bangle! It's lovely - a very nice sage green that looks minty with the light shining on it. Good luck with this one as I hope it's a keeper:smile:

It's a good sign that the seller says she will pay certification costs. Very pretty. So happy for you. Glad you got the other two refunded.:smile:

Your new bangle is really pretty! I love the soft green color. I think you made the right call to look elsewhere. And so glad the original vendor gave you a refund.

Thanks all! A very valuable lesson learnt and i'm glad for all the advice i've got from you :flowers:

This one has a minty half and a greyish darker half to it which looks oily under daylight:

Still, not sure how the seller got her pic this bluish-green unless she used another bangle for the item profile, haha:

JadedJae- I'm glad that you got a full refund on your previous purchase. This new bangle is lovely too. Seems this seller will be reliable since offering to cover the testing costs too.
Different types of cameras will affect color as well. To my eye and from personal experience, it seems clear natural daylight gives truest colors based on pics listed and comparing the item I received.
Are you going to give her a name?

I'm gonna give it a try (I'm Singaporean Chinese but most of my Mandarin's quite rusty haha):

The top row identifies four different general jade classifications from left to right namely the glassy type (玻璃种), icy type (冰种), waxy type (糯种), and bean type (豆种).

The middle row basically describes the texture from very fine to coarse (grain from <0.1mm to >1mm).

The bottom row is per what Henry James has decribed, far right describes the "foreign particles" seeping in to visually affect the colour of the jade (绺有明显的外部侵入形成杂色). The second one is describing how cracks severely affects the quality of the jade (裂 , 翡翠较为严重的瑕疵 ). The third box refers to veins or patterns that affect the outward appearance of the jade (颜色或结构上的差异影响美观). The last box described the natural occurring inner cotton threads / cloudy inclusions as a characteristic (原生内部特征棉线棉絮状).

I'm thinking about getting this UJ bangle. What do you think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/222337789212

It's nice - bold looking and modern. UJ is good about disclosing all flaws. Do you like the look of the bangle and is there room in your rotation for this bangle? It may sound silly but that's how I approach my jewellery buying decisions. I think about whether or not it would be used as an everyday piece or occasionally, is it casual or dressy and can it be both. Is it versatile or more of a statement piece. Let us know what you decide to do:)
