Jade barrel advice

[jadenewbie]

Hi I'm looking to get myself a jade barrel to use as a pendant. First time to get one, just to celebrate getting through an exam lol.

Just wanted to get some advice on this jade barrel to see if it's worth the price or it looks too good to be true and the like.
Any recommendations welcome

this is around 150usd, eying this but i saw



But after browsing on here people seemed to trust and recommend kathyjade and these caught my eye:

56usd


140usd

Now I'm not entirely sure about my choices.... Do you have any advice?

I think they are all lovely in their own way and decently priced! Buy the one you like.

Kathy Jade I'm confident would sell A grade Jade so that's probably my only contribution. It's a more reputable source as some of our Jade experts have bought from there.

There are SO MANY different opinions about Jade. One person's ugly can be another person's amazing so as long as you love it and you're not being ripped off, it's all good!!!

Thank you! Do you it would just confuse me to ask about the "objective" qualities that increase "objective" desirability? Like apple jade, iciness and translucence?

I think what I'm asking is does my first choice seem overpriced compared to those from kathyjade? Hahaha all this seems like it needs a lot of sleeping on
