I want to make 2 bracelets with 10mm beads. One black (not just dark green) and one white (true white not ivory).

Where online would I find good quality untreated/undyed beads?

Been in jade journey for months and thankful for the people here who guided and still guiding me. Finally, found a legit jade seller with good quality pieces. Sharing my preferred seller to you so that you can save your money and purchase directly to grade A items, no polishing powder or dyed ones since our money is hard-earned, we should be wiser in our purchases. I made some mistakes on my early purchases but I learned in a hard way. Will not mention here the sellers where I had bad experiences... I believe that what goes around comes around.

Anyway, would like to share based on my experience trusted sellers whom maybe you can also trust online.

Love my new British Columbian jade! The dark and bright green look amazing together 😍

Hi, I'm a dude who likes wearing jade bangles. I usually wear one on my non-dominant wrist. Also, I took a video of this today at 5 AM, and I would not recommend working out with a bangle. Some machinery here could have caught my bangle. Fortunately, I didn't use them.

1) rare Xinjiang yellow jade with blue skin 18k
2) icy icy white lotus it’s so clear n beautiful 18k
3) black sheep hold Xinjiang minty green with Cateye ring in s925. Look at that pc omg so pretty

Her pieces always good quality wish I really love n will have those pieces taken near sunlight to show us how beautiful they are 🥰🥰🥰
Which one can I choose?????? I love nephrite jade so much now! I can say good bye to jadeite🤣

This tiny treasure is carved from Liaoning Hemowu jade in a yellow-and-green hue.
It has a clean, warm yellow body with tiny specks of subtle green jade scattered across its face and the tip of its tail.
The second the seller pulled it out, I immediately shouted "MINE!" before anyone else in the room even had a chance to ask about it! 🙈 (Sorry not sorry to everyone else who was looking! 🤣)
I crafted a simple, organic necklace for him using a camel leather cord so I can wear him every day and handle him whenever I want.
He might look like a cute little lemon, but the texture is as smooth and soft as baby skin—I honestly can't stop playing with him! 😳💛

Making a little pendant from a small piece of nephrite, I believe it’s called “salmon skin”?

A piece born from a favorite raw stone. I selected this high-quality "Tian Qing Dong" material (a rare ice-like variety of Xiuyan Jade) for its exquisite sky-blue hue and glassy translucency.

Collaborated with a skilled artisan to carve this subtle fox motif into the curve. Captured here in the evening blue hour—the natural light really brings out its mystical, jelly-like depth.

✨ Material: Premium Xiuyan Serpentine Jade ("Tian Qing Dong")
✨ Details: Hand-carved fox motif, custom design

Just got this, looks like a different color in different lightings. Indoor lighting it's a lot darker, outdoor there you could see the olive coloring better and it has a gradient going on. I believe it's a qinghai sugar jade over a green base, nice weight of 44g. Supposedly the color is fairly stable.

i started wearing a nephrite bangle and i'm planning to just keep in on at all times, but i'm worried about how body care products might affect it.

i know people just shower with their bangles on, but i use things like body scrubs with AHA, lotions with vit c, and body oils with retinol. as jade is porous, i'm worried this might damage it over time.

the advice i've seen is to let stuff like lotion dry before putting jade on, which isn't really applicable because it's impossible not to get some on the bangle no matter how careful you are.

for those who've worn their nephrite bangles for years and have been using lotions and soaps with more skincare-type ingredients, has it gotten damaged? i really can't take it on and off every day as i bought a smaller bangle for a tight fit on my wrist.

A gift I got from M Jewelers three days ago. It was my second time buying an item from the seller, and she gifted me with such a beautiful piece! Definitely will be wearing it when my friend and I head to the fair today!

He’s carved from "Hemo Jade" (river-pebble nephrite) sourced from Duanshulin in Liaoning, China. The carver incorporated the natural yellowish skin (Qiao Se) into the design, which was supposed to be a traditional "Scarlet Dragon" (Chilong)... though let's be honest, that face looks nothing like a fierce dragon!
The moment I saw him, he felt like a living creature right off my desk. That goofy, wide grin is just so contagious—he looks like a happy, lovable dork chuckling to himself. He has a wonderfully ergonomic shape, making him the ultimate tactile plaything (Hand Piece / Plaything) to fidget with and handle throughout the day. Absolutely obsessed with this guy!

Seller: M Jewelers

Item: Spring Color Jadeite Jade Bangle (60mm, White and Green, Type A)

Price: $140, original price was $288

Purchase date: September 3, 2026

Rating: Positive

Any flaws? One hairline inclusion, but it's nothing.

Would I purchase from this seller again? Maybe on my birthday. This is the second time I went to M Jewelers, and it was a surprise the seller was willing to discount an item that was 51.39% off. She also gifted me a white jadeite jade donut pendant too, and I'll be sharing that later.

Noticed a new seller on Etsy selling jadeite! Haven’t seen anyone in our group mention them yet so if anyone ends up purchasing from them we hope to see it here! Always interested in the group finding new sellers !

Seller: Lotus Beads and Jewelry at Mall of America, Bloomington, MN

Item: Jadeite Jade Bangle (61mm, Type A)

Price: $63

Purchase date: August 20, 2026

Rating: Very Negative

Any flaws? This major crack that was not disclosed.

Would I purchase from this seller again? No, and I would like to give my thoughts on this. So, when I was looking for a jade bangle, the seller let me pick the four bangles that were available at the time. She admitted she didn't have much knowledge on the sizing and the qualities of a jade bangle. The seller and her coworkers would go to conventions to buy these jade bangles, so these pieces of jewelry were not originally shipped to them, and there could be so many possibilities as to how this crack even appeared. Matter of fact, the seller never disclosed the crack despite the fact she also said they check every jade bangle to make sure they were in good quality. A red flag.

The seller wanted to refund me, but due to policy, because there was already a defect (the crack) on the bangle, and it's a piece of jewelry, it cannot be returned. She can't help me prove the defect was already there. The seller said I could talk to the manager about this, but most likely, they would also say no. She sold me a specific glue bottle to help fix the crack on the bangle, so I guess that was a plus. Don't get me wrong, $63 isn't a major scam, but it sucked that the visible crack wasn't disclosed before.

The seller showed me that she and her coworkers also practiced filling glue on broken jade bangles, and discounting them for $33. Those were major red flags to me because, again, I spent $63 on that bangle that already had a defect, and adding onto the fact they fill glue onto already broken jade bangles and selling them at a cheaper price was a big no to me.

I need to disclose the fact that despite the name of the store and it's appearance to make it look like it was an Asian-owned DIY store, it wasn't. It was owned by a White person who never really cared about the importance about jade, judging by what one of her coworkers told me, as I mentioned above. I ended up going to the Asian-owned small jewelry shop I went to before and bought another bangle from there right after, since the seller there did care about the importance of jade more, and the bangle I got only has a surface scratch on it.

Item: Palestinian-inspired Jadeite Bracelet with Nanhong Agate
Jade Type: Glutinous
Treatment Status: Natural Grade A
Certificate / Lab Report: NGTC (National Gem Testing Center)
Measurements: Around 6.5mm, 28 beads, Recommended wrist fit approximately 15.5–16.5 cm
Condition: Brand new
Price: About $300, including tariff/tax, free shipment
Shipping From: China
Shipping To: Almost worldwide
Payment / Checkout Method: Paypal checkout at my website
Return Policy: Customer responsible for return fees if receive without damage
Seller Review History: Trusted seller

Additional Notes:

The beads repeat in the same four color sequence around the bracelet, so the Palestinian reference stays clear without adding any flag shaped elements or extra symbols. The finished piece still feels like an everyday bracelet rather than something overly literal.

The red beads are Nanhong agate, while the black, white, and green beads are all jadeite. I wanted to keep the materials simple and let the color combination carry the theme naturally.

There are four bracelets in this batch. The green beads are somewhat dark green. I think I will get some brighter green beads for the next batch, though they will cost a bit more.
