Wearing my favorite bangle 'Lila' today to celebrate CNY. What are you ladies wearing? 
I'm wearing my gold and jade ring and my jade rat (as I'm a rat)
Happy new year jadies! May this new year bring you health, joy, and wealth.
Can I get your opinion on this bangle? It's from an eBay seller called vintagejewelry2012tue. Does it look grade A? I really like the color combination but I'm not sure if it's too good to be true.
There is a certification but I'm unfamiliar with the different companies that certify.
Thank you!

I bought a swarovski crystal bangle that I intended to use as a bumper or wear alone with a bangle (It's the one in the middle). Do you think it looks too much? Can't decide if I like it or not. What do you guys think? Do you think jade looks better all by itself? Thanks for your opinion.
Hi E
hi Silver Mom I think it would depend on what you are wearing. If you are dressed very casually then perhaps the crystal bangle is too blingy. I'm not a stacker myself so I would wear the lavender on one wrist and the green on the other
But if you do like to stack I would say this bumper is super pretty

It is very hard to tell whether any piece of jade is Grade A because even the experts are fooled sometimes. I for one definitely am not an expert but your piece looks quite nice to me. I looked up the certifying lab on your certificate and they seem like they are valid. I guess all we non experts can only depend on what the labs say so it is important to choose a reputable one. Your bangle is very beautiful.
Thanks so much 2 boys, I am not a stacker but wanted to try. That is why I am having such a hard time deciding. Decisions, decisions LOL. Thanks again for your opinion.Hi E

I would keep the crystal bangle. This way you can stack and see if you like it. If not you can always wear it on its own. It may also look pretty with your Black Edwards bangle. I bet the gorgeous black Jade would look amazing beside the black crystals.
My advice is ask a lot of questions if you only want grade a. I looked at the seller's other items and based on the vibrancy of the colors and the prices and my own learning experiences, I suspect they might be dyed and not grade a. The pics of the certificates are too far away to read a determination. Jadeite can be certified and sold as 'natural' without being grade a.
Hi SM! Your jade is superlative and so gorgeous on it's own. Let it take center stage. My 2 cents is one at a time, maybe combined with gold or diamonds if you want more.
Happy New Year Dster1 and all the Jadies!!
I like this colour combo too. Very fresh and lively
Thanks crosso. Like your advice too.
I will give it a few more days to decide. LOL so hard.
OMG....so sorry to hear this. Scary that they had a cert too. I guess we can only trust the most reputable certification labs now a days. Glad you found out before it was too late. Will you be able to get your money back?
