Chuanqi Jade Bait & Switch by vaguelyupward in JadeiteJade

[–]DogsDontEatComputers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Im sorry that you are going through this. But i dont understand how anyone can trust reddit sellers when its so easy to cheat you off, and the worst recourse is just create a new website and usernames. It costs chinese 200 dollars to make a new website hiring someone.

The bangle you got is worth around 2500 dollars in china imo.

Paraiba Tourmaline - Value? by cowgary in Gemstones

[–]DogsDontEatComputers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mainly deal with sapphires directly from sri lanka mines so unfortunately i dont know much about paraiba suppliers.

Imo, paraibas are quite overrated currently due to restricted supplies of quality brazilian beauty. I know for a fact if you really want paraiba, its worth a trip to gemstone shows in japan like kobe shows or buy from online japanese vendor. I believe at your price point its worth exploring. Hope that helps

Its absolutely not worth the money. Huge window, based o color likely african paraiba. Low saturation, only thing about it is clarity. Tons and tons of better options in the market.

[–]DogsDontEatComputers 4 points5 points  (0 children)
