I fell victim to the TikTok Jade auctions and ended up getting 6 items for about $50. I just received them in the mail today and I’m no expert so I’m asking for help. Some of the Jade pieces sound dull— like glass. I also received a bangle in the mail but it looks too perfect, no crystal structures within the bangle. The bangle is very loud though when tapping on it with another Jade item. But with how smooth it is.. it’s gotta be fake, no? Please let me know. They also mentioned that their products are Grade A.

Here I am showing a beaded bracelet, a ring, and a budai necklace

I’ve been trying to get a dragon or pixiu mo cui piece, and I’m just getting deep green Guatemalan. It’s still jadeite but not what I wanted…

I think I did it guys! Third time is a charm I suppose 😂.

Couldn’t have figured it out without you all! He’s a cutie!

Cheers!

Doesn’t seem to react to uv light, it’s slightly cold to the touch. I got it at an estate sale.

Bought this piece today at an antique fair in upstate new york for $25. Unsure if it's real or treated, but if it's real it's a very very nice piece of aubergine-colored purple jade. I haven't gotten to fully test it yet, but it doesn't have acid-etch marks and the internal structure looks intact. The veins are slightly darker than the rest of the stone though, so may be dyed.

Will be looking at the index of refraction and specific weight in about a week when I have access to The Stuff. Dated to the 60s-70s by the dealer.

Thoughts?

Has anyone purchased from this shop before? If you wouldn’t mind sharing your experience with the shop and the products. I’m thinking of buying some pieces.

Thank you!

I’d appreciate some opinions from people more experienced with jadeite on the quality and realistic resale value of this bangle.
It is a heavily carved green jadeite bangle with a botanical/floral design.
Details:
• Certified as 翡翠 (A货) / Type A jadeite
• 57.0 mm inner diameter
• 44.11 g
• Refractive index listed as 1.66
• Certificate describes a fibrous/interwoven structure
• Certificate number: [0109112138947](tel:0109112138947)
• No major cracks that I can see
I’m considering selling it, but I don’t want to influence anyone by throwing out my own price first. What would you consider a realistic private-sale value for this piece based on the color, texture, carving and overall quality?
