My kind fellow jadies, I've got to stay away from the thread, lol! You all are spiking my fever again! While, out of boredom. was looking for carved sources for JKP and Ms Loka today, I came across this lovely. The cert checked out and the price was right (on sale, so less than the carved onyx hinged one I just returned! I do love a 'bargain'!), so I couldn't resist! Hope it will be as pretty as the pics and home testing checks out. Will post pics when it arrives.

I know SM, but there gets a point where it is truly kind of ridiculous, even as a bargain hunter. Sadly, I only have two arms, two ears and one neck, lol! Oh well, I guess there are worse addictions [emoji6] At least with you all supporting (enabling?) me, I think I've made more educated choices!

Hahahaha when you said one neck, i didn't immediately think of pendants / necklaces but instead my first image was of someone wearing a HUGE bangle across the neck!! [emoji23]

speaking of huge bangles, the seller i bought a few pieces from brought along a HUGEEE bangle that was AT LEAST a whopping 85-90mm in inner diameter to show me and i was wondering where you could wear that.. (concluded either as a upper arm band, as a showpiece or maybe a tiara? Hahaa) should have taken a picture to share here, let me see if i can get her to send me one!

Loving seeing everyone's new and old jade!!
I haven't taken Granny off since I got her and still wearing Malaysia everyday since I got her. I'm so in love with the feel of a chubby Princess! Here is a photo of both on one arm for the photo. I always wear Malaysia on left and Granny on right. My other bangles are being terribly neglected. :sad:
Gorgeous bangles. I especially love Malaysia. So bold in colour but it looks like a calming bangle if that makes sense. They both look great. I like to wear a bangle on each wrist too :)

Hi jadies!

Has anyone ever purchased from BillyTheTree on ebay? Their jade looks like Mason Kay styles and descriptions say their stuff has MK certificates. It looks overpriced, but some of the carved bangles look delish! I'm tempted, but broke. lol

Hi JKP, I have not purchased from Billy The Tree but I have purchased from Mason Kay. I bought a pendant from them and it came with a certificate. The Mason Kay certificate is very different from the GIA certificate because I think the Mason Kay one is an in house certificate. I will post an example of both of the certificates so you can get an idea of what I mean. I remember though that when I asked Danny Mason from Mason Kay if they would certify some of my already acquired jades pieces he recommended that I go to GIA because they have the most up to date and accurate machines for testing. Here are the two certificates. The GIA one is of my lavender bangle and the Mason Kay one is of my carved red pendant. Hope this is helpful. fullsizeoutput_1c9a.jpegfullsizeoutput_1c97.jpeg
