After a nice green jade cabochon

[Burmesedaze]

That's easy. You get a bracelet AND a necklace out of 1 strand!!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Ask her if she has similar texture and on the green side within the same price bracket!

Do I ask her to restring it for me or do it myself?

Yah! She says she'll check the factory for me tomorrow!

 

[Burmesedaze]

She can do it. It's easy.

@mellowyellowgirl

Looky looky.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Closeups on my hand.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

OMG SO PRETTY!!!! How much is the bright green end one?

I am midway through processing a transaction with the lady

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@Burmesedaze come back!!!!!!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Prices for the first and second close ups please!

 

[Burmesedaze]

They are all us$250 each

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

OMG

Are you in a position to mail them if I pay you or is your postage system not so good?

 

[Burmesedaze]

Pls check loupetroop. You can contact Ma Thetmar on Viber. Yes they use that here.

If you really fancy them i can mail them from Singapore but i won't be back till early May.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Who am I looking for on loupetroop?

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

aah ok I worked it out!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Some closeups. I used manual white balance.

Ok i want to focus on my stars now.

Caveat the green one shows up about 2 shades greener on camera.

I personally prefer the more translucent light green.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Thank you my dear!!!!

Go off to your stars!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@Burmesedaze I installed Viber, could not for the life of me get a call through to the person.

Then I thought how would they mail the stuff to me if their postal system is kaput since they are in the same place as you.

So I gave up and bought from FB lady because I liked the colour and texture of that strand even if it was expensive.

I am regretting paying by paypal though! Should have saved $$$ but my bank takes ages to put through a payment (took them 5 days to pay Whiteflash because it was the weekend!) and I kinda wanted payment to clear ASAP so I could get my necklace faster.

I did what you said and asked her to split it into a bracelet and a necklace for me. Little sister will be getting the bracelet as a present. I wanted to buy her something so this worked out well.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Hmm my Viber and whatsapp work fine here. Do you use whatsapp? Works similar.

Yup I won't ship anything here unless via fedex. I get everything shipped to singapore only and for returns I ship out from Singapore, like my Asos purchases.

If you decide to get another, use Viber

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Can I ask you a few questions first! Do these people speak English well? Will these people use Fedex and fill out the forms etc?

I am a Whatsapp addict and it works perfectly when I try to call.

Hmm maybe I missed some international dial out code....

I am excited!!!! I wear my emerald beads sooooooo much! Husband is giving me grief for not wearing my diamond pendant and always in the cheap emerald beads these days!

 

[Burmesedaze]

+95 IS the intl code.

Fedex will be an extra charge based on weight. They can try and check.

I don't speak Burmese so yes they have to speak English to comms with me.

 

[Burmesedaze]

I hope you got FB lady to declare a lower value on the form! If not you might get slapped with a customs charge!

She ships out fast and very very well packed.

The ones at my jeweller's are 10mm beads btw.

If you were always in pink beads, I guess your pink bandit might not complain as much

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Yah I did!

They are going to slap GST (10%) on EVERYTHING starting July. Right now it's on everything over $1,000. I am going to get JD to make my ring soon to avoid the tax on that ring at least.

Makes me seriously debate buying everything I want now but I guess I am kidding myself if I think I'm never going to shop again after I buy a bunch of stuff!

***
On an unrelated note have you tried Dorothy Perkins for clothes? I REALLY like them! Better than ASOS I reckon!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Yikes 10%!!!

Oh I buy mostly non Asos labels, swimwear, sportsbras (Nike) and makeup from Asos.

Not a fan of DP. They don't fit me right for some reason. Warehouse was my to go to many many moons ago!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I love this! Was admiring how beautiful it was when mean hubby brought up Thanos again!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Paging @Burmesedaze would you say this is pink or lavender?

 

[Burmesedaze]

Pink but the photo looks too saturated.

 

[Burmesedaze]

How much is that?

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

How much is that?

$588

Pink bandit likes but it's too soon!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Lol yes very up pink bandit's alley. How big are the beads?
