Great design. I love rose gold. It warms the stone up if that makes sense.
I love rose gold too! I have other pieces
But it can be finicky and turn yellow like my Cartier love bracelet.

Ha you made me laugh out loud! I purchased the cab from UJ and told her what setting I wanted and she worked with her goldsmith. Still looking for a good lavender bangle, so got a ring in the meantime ha.
Do you know if the bangles that Maithong sells are grade A? The prices seem cheap for the colors they sell.
Hi, Piosavsfan! I don't know for certain. I did message the shop owner and ask if she guarantees grade A and she said yes. She also offered a certificate (I assume from Thai lab) for an additional $40.
Hello everyone
I went to a show where they were using those black lights or UV lights and was wearing 2 bangles one changed color the other one didn't I am very interested to know your thought about if they are grade A or B?? I thought otherwise were A but not so sure now. I am sending both without the black light and with photos. Thank you

Hi readkoi! both bangles look very pretty in the first pic, but I would be concerned to discover a bangle that changed colored or glowed under blacklight. If you loupe it, are there spiderwebby cracks? Is the specific gravity okay? Is this one that changes color from a trusted source? a recent purchase that can be returned if you get it tested?
my jades for the day... my 3 favorite bead bracelets.
Hi Redkoi, here is a good article from GIA about UV testing and treated jadeite that you may find helpful:

Hello and thank you for your reply. I bought the one that turned kind of glowing lavander from a big crystal crystal shop that is pretty well known here, not so recent that could be returned . I will buy a loupe to check for spider webs. Do you know how to test gravity, I have read many of you are pretty good about that . The very green princess I bought if from a very old Chinese lady not a business she was selling it because she bought is 15 years ago loving the color hoping one day would fit and never did.
I feel stupid for asking but which bangle changed colour? The slim princess or the wider one as I can not tell from the pics. They are both green but under that lighting in the second pic look like different shades of lavender. I'm hoping you find out that they are both untreated Jade. Please keep us posted.
