I purchased a bangle and pendant, they both came with certificates. Like SmokieDragon, I haven't had them tested because they look good. I did not have any issues with my purchases.

I had trouble with gojade. I’ve purchased several pieces from her before, one being a green and lavender donut that fluoresced. I had posted it in one of the jade threads somewhere. The consensus was that it was a color enhancing wax treatment, so for that item I gave gojade a neutral review and stated why. The other items checked out ok and I gave her positive reviews.
That was months ago and yesterday I saw another item I liked and decided to give her another shot. It was then I discovered she blocked me from purchasing anything from her. All for a neutral review. There was no rebuttal to the review or any kind of issue with me like payment or anything. Oh well!

I had that happen to me once on eBay from a seller who sent a $20 item (not jade) that had an issue. I asked to exchange it for another, he exchanged it, I was happy, left him positive feedback, with no mention of the problem. One year later, when a friend said she wanted one too, I decided to buy one for her for Christmas. I then discovered I was blocked by the guy. Had to get someone else to make the purchase for me. So even with a positive feedback, some sellers are just that way. I find it interesting that on Etsy, even if a seller has received less than a 5 star feedback from a few customers, their main page always shows them as a 5 Star seller. I am not the only person who has noticed this. I guess we should read all jade-related feedback on Etsy before buying, just to be sure.
Just bought a bangle from Jasmine Jadeite. She posts the pieces on Facebook then you can message her and buy from the website. Prices were good, the bangle seems good quality, her communication was excellent and shipping fast and free.
Oh right, I’ve mentioned you about it too! I believe the member also said it was either color enhancing wax, OR excess wax that was there to fill in the pits, and cracks which is usually always noticeable. As for gojade themself I trust them and their certificate lab checks out, jades I got from them also fluoresces but is easily regarded as just wax. Regardless I’m sorry to hear that they blocked you out of a neutral review.
Jasmine Jadeite reminds me so much like another seller as they are a couple named Barbara Shimoda, and Dori Shimoda who runs a page named Jade Gem Hunter that also hunts and gets jades of any preferred choices and other semiprecious stones too! You can even ask them to get your own piece as long as you tell them your budget for it (as they’ll hunt and take pics of some pieces you ask in Mandalay)
They’ve been there for a while but have always been very scattered in the internet so I had to search them through their internet names to find their sites.
I have been following her on Facebook for a few months, and although I have yet to purchase from her, I like what I see. The jade looks good, looks Type A, and her prices are pretty good ($300 to $400 range). Lots of nice apple green bangles, and most are mid-sized (55-58mm). I think this is a good seller. Nice to see a comment on her.
I would like to put in a good word for a seller that I bought this icy white jadeite band from in early September, eBay username Esthetic Instincts / estheticinstincts. It is a beautiful band/abacus ring, it is Burmese Type A jadeite, and I get many compliments on it, even from non-jadies, curious about the ring. The seller is in Malaysia, the prices are good, and shipping is free. I think it took about 3 weeks to arrive. Most of her listings are for jade bands, and I will purchase from her again with confidence. The ring passed my UV light test, and the crystals are fine. Icy cold and pretty.
Checking their shop out and it seems like their pricing is rather sporadic, including some items paying for shipping rather than free too. Although their products seem genuinely natural and untreated.
Do you have plans on sending their products to a lab anytime soon, or doing a specific gravity test on it? As I’m quite interested on their rings but don’t know how I feel about it with it’s aforementioned pricing.
My permanent bangle is from this seller and is my heart bangle that I've not taken off in 4 years! This seller also has wonderful communication. Your ring is beatiful.
Hi teagansmum! Thank you. Yes, her communication is excellent. Is the bangle in your profile image the bangle you purchased from her, by chance?... it's gorgeous!
Ajadecent Angle, I don't plan on having the ring tested, and that is all I have purchased from estheticinstincts.
Quick note - for those who would like to follow Jasmine Jadeite on Facebook, this is their page for bangles under $500. They provide a link on the page for bangles priced higher than $500.
Could be hard for some to find, since Jasmine Jadeite is not the title of their Facebook page. They post either a good video of a bangle, or many still photos. All will appear in your News Feed if you follow them.

Thank you Jadegirl. Yes. That is the bangle in my profile and I named her Mylasia. It was his\her first bangles listed when he started as a seller.
I just went to their shop and couldn’t find any listings. Why is this so?
Well, I can see why you never remove the bangle, such lovely colours and pattern! I think the seller is a she, but not sure! Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a city I wish to experience myself; it had been one of my mother's favourite places to be. So at least I have a ring that spent some time there.
