Just a quick look at the cert. I received with my jadeite carved leaf pendent. This verifies that the material is as sold, jadeite, tested for hardness & internal crystal structure by scope. All pricing is negotiable from the seller, one just has to use a little tact in asking for a discount on any item for sale, even buy-it-now items could have a little leway in pricing, just ask-:cool:

Has anyone bought lately from Suzanne's corner? I paid for a bangle a few days ago and I have heard nothing even tho I sent a question. It may be that I am too impatient, but it seems to me that her response was always pretty quick in the past. Hope everything is ok there.
Anyone bought lately?
 
Anyone had any dealings with jadefromchina aka attjade on ebay? I am looking at what looks like a nice piece of jadeite jade, real dark hunter green-black, but something is making me a tad leery. Maybe the rather low, low prices.
 
Hello everyone, here's my experience with 9SJW on Etsy.

At the end of May, I purchased a nephrite ball with 9SJW. I waited and there was no confirmation of purchase or notice of shipping.

No communication initially, until I opened a case in July. There was a long wait between messages with an explanation of travel. They offered to make me another ball and to ship that one. I accepted. I finally got notification of shipping in August and a claim ticket yesterday. I picked up the package today and when I opened it, there was cute packaging and more than one item. Everything was carefully packed and individually wrapped.

I am definitely pleased with the quality of pendant I ordered and the additional stones, and I think I would do business again, but would recommend anyone considering a purchase with them to clarify a timeline of getting the goods beforehand.

I just wanted to add my thoughts on JadeMineCanada, on Etsy. I recently purchased a bangle and beads, which are lovely piece of nephrite jade. The transaction went smoothly and Paul was happy to answer my questions. I know far less about nephrite than jadeite, so I relied on Paul's expertise, which was very helpful. He gave me two options for a bangle (both Canadian AA grade, per the store's grading), and recommended one over the other due to the structure of the stone. He also selected a strand of Siberian nephrite beads that would work well for my needs. I am very pleased with my pieces, and I will definitely be back for more.

I've purchased items from Alohamemoribilia and have had good experiences. I've even bought things on layaway with them. Normally very good communication. They are based on Oahu island in Hawaii, and I'm fairly certain they have a brick and mortar shop there, too... so I would take the time difference and weekend into consideration. I'm pretty sure there was a Collector Expo at the Blaisdell this weekend and they usually go. I wish I could go, lol... I'm on a different island. Hang in there!

Thank you junkenpo! Patience is the way to go hahaaaa I couldn't help to browse through everything in the shop. There are other vintage pearl earrings and rings from estate also catching my eye. So many beauties. They are hard to come by. It's very very hard to find a reputable shop for selling vintage items. So lucky you are in same country with the shop! Would love to go to the show in person too!!

The first store to your left near show window

I bought my jadeite grade a bangle for $280. So the price is very affordable. You don't need to bargain a lot. The owner is very straight forward. You need to ask the owner that you need grade a jadeite bangle and know your size, and check the quality of the bangle. It is hard to exchange for another bangle after you buy it.
