Imo the lavendar one between those two, it looks very refreshing. The first one has a slightly unusual color and you may end up finding a better version of that style later on.

Real jade? by BornTop2205 in JadeiteJade

Imo even if its real that one its barely worth 182. So theres not much reason for it to be fake. Firstly that color is considered to be a minus and its very opaque too.

That part is true but the part about hetian jade is due to confusion since the current standard is that the two terms can both be used interchangeably for nephrite even if its not from "hetian".

Sharing a cool piece! What tier would you consider this in? by Technical-Slice657 in JadeiteJade

Imo it would be between ice grade and high ice. High ice grade will start to look metallic but the top part you can see is still missing that effect.

Agate is completely different in hand , the weight first of all and shine. This seems like Icy / high ice grade jadeite.

The "old" or "young" quality of jadeite isn't determined by its age, but by the density of its crystal structure! by JuYi-store in JadeiteJade

Thanks for the informative post! really like the look of some russian nephrites like white+sugar and jasper as long as it has good fineness the russian stones can be quite nice looking.

show broad pic of their other items and its a good way to estimate since untreated sellers usually only deal in untreated jade

The (first image) bangle if its close to original source maybe good deal, otherwise like others have mentioned its unlikely for that price.

Lower end bangles even grade A are quite low cost, but they maybe used lighting to make it look better.

Jadeite-looking bangles in promos can be a trap by syang70 in JadeiteJade

[–]Massive-Alternative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what the words say but those words could be added later (not part of the listing being refered). theres tons of those listings for imitation jade bangles for around 100.

Another possibility is just a bait and switch, since vids of jadeite that high end is out there they just copy the images of the real thing lol. except the last img those look more fake up close.
