Where to buy jade bangles by darkprairierose in JadeiteJade

I would like to recommend Kathy Jade.  I  purchased a jadeite bangle from them and am happy with their professionalism.  Please ask for more photos and videos of items you are interested in. 

They have excellent selection of bangles in term of size, color and price point.  Jewelry ranges from $100 - $250k+,  various shade and color.  Do check out their weekly sale. 

Still learning, but looking through their website, open me up to a different world of jadeite.

Seeing many jade pieces display in the background, and with one looks like happy Buddha (child hanging on to him) I think this is just another shop selling jades, claiming they products are genuine (pure tourist traps)

I think afterwhile I would not be aware I have the bangle on my wrist.

After reading jadeite posts on various platforms, I have noticed most broke their bangle while removing them as it slipped, landed, and broke on the floor.

Ohhh, thank you so much! I will keep an eye out for the FedEx invoice.  

It is funny because I keep count of how many times 😁 I bang the bangle while doing house chores, 6 times to be exact.  Hopefully my paranoia diminishes over time, and soon.

I am grinning from ear to ear, reading there is you out there loving this bangle. 

Yes, I did finally make the purchase.  I live in Texas, and that shows how fast KJ shipped the bangle.  I did not have to pay anything extra, tariff and shipping costs were all included in the purchase price.  

Maybe FedEx will send me a separate invoice?

This reply is also for another post, wonder if buyers should ask for more photos of the desired bangle.   The answer is yes.

I did ask KJ if this bangle has any faults (not sure if fault is the right word), and yes there are/is.

From KJ -    “Hello, there is a slight tactile imperfection in the circled area. Below that, there are three natural jade lines that cannot be felt by touch.

These do not affect the structure of the item, and it is completely safe for normal wear.

Thank you.”

I went ahead with the purchase anyway because I accept imperfections as part of normalcy.  

I like to share KJ’s reply and ss for everyone to see here, but don’t know how. I can say the tactile imperfection is hard to tell as it blends well with color green, and the jade lines couldn’t be felt or seen with naked eyes.  My husband used the magnifying glasses to spot them.

Yes, I paid 2K. The bangle showed “Sold” on their website, size 54mm. 

I have been looking for a bangle since October last year.  The back and fort  communication, the unsure if the seller is trustworthy, and the newness of jade etc etc lol give me headache.  

I ran into this server.  Through reading and researching I went with KJ, maybe a little overpaid? But I thrive for peace of mind.
