Oh dear @ChaiK
Can you track the parcel? Mine had tracking and was signature only.
On another note the pendant is beautiful and the cab on top is green!!!!!
The other two green pendants were sent out on 19 Jan. This one on 24 Jan.
Sick with worry. There has been a recent hike in crimes around my area. Not very normal.
I have never in all my time of buying jewellery, ever lost one through the post. Except for a pair of bangles earlier on.
And last week, we were almost burgled. A video of the burglars that were captured on camera showed them discussed returning again when my daughter would be in alone. It left me terrified, that they would know so much about us, when we would be in, etc.
And, I have noticed on my profile on Pricescope, some odd photocopy flyer person is following me.
These are bad times.
Thank you. Let’s see.
Hello everybody,
Ok, now that I am back from Borneo and fully recovered from the jetlag I can post an update of the bangle I bought from shop 2.
First, let me clarify that contrary to some personal preferences in this thread, my priorities were color first and then translucency, this first jade big buy being a way to relate myself to my birth country - sweet memories of my mother wearing her apple green jade bangle as a full part of her body.
As a summary, you were absolutely right @ChaiK, this bangle was so highly priced because of its color, a vivid green that fills me with happiness as soon as I catch a glimpse of it. It is translucent, but on the glutinous rice side.
Here are the pictures :
> bangle alone, indoor with natural light conditions, on a bright though cloudy day :
> bangle worn on hand, same lighting conditions as above :
> bangle worn, indoor with natural light conditions, on a more cloudy gloomy day :
Sorry I cannot take any proper picture showing its translucency. But I hope that the ones I post here show you how the green is vivid and lively, slightly changing colors depending on the light conditions, the green being even greener as can be, when under incandescent bulb lights. I guess that this is only possible thanks to its translucency.
All in all, if you are after colored jade, go for real real, even exaggerated tone of the color you are after, because the color in real life will be some tones lighter than the pictures they post in their WeChat feed.
Here below as a reminder, the picture they used on WeChat :
I am so happy this was the option I chose - and I cannot thank you enough@ChaiK for your detailed feedback and help on this, some weeks ago.
Oh Chaik, It's awful that you are afraid. I've noticed you are posting less and I'm guessing that's why. I'm sad, because I really enjoy your laughter. As an aside, how do you know who is following you on PS? I looked, and all I could see was those that I follow (only one, Phoenix, cause I luv her...). I'd actually forgotten there was such a feature.
Anyway, your pendant is neat, all of the carving looks so delicate. I'm sure the others will show up soon, if not then Main lady will have to refund, no? Plus, f**k those evil burglers. I hope they go to jail forever. Me, I live in Texas, the land of big dogs and big guns...no fear here. Come visit. I've already asked Seaglow, now I need to include ALL of my PS friends.
Omg @ChaiK that's terrible. Hope everything works out.
@suzanne2 you live where Whiteflash is!!!! I'm jelly! I live in a rough looking street but the people have a heart of gold. The bloke across the road sees EVERYTHING!
Once my son asked me to punch him in the stomach on the front lawn to demonstrate his tough belly (6yo with abs) and I was like "Umm not with all the neighbours on their front porches kiddo"
@Duyen it's beautiful!!!! Omg the colour is divine!!!!! I was going to buy a cheap but after that colour I think I'll just peace out and not bother with a bangle at all if it's going to be insipid.

Thank you, Suzanne. Anytime you are in London, do come round.
I just checked my profile and it said I had a follower called flatratephotocopier. So I clicked on ignore and now, upon checking, I can see that he/she is no longer a member. After the attempted burglary.
Anyhow, we have a new alarm system that pulls out all the bells and whistles and I hope it will make everything better. It is the alarm system by Verisure. Not sure if it is good but we did shop around for one. And we thought it looked the best. Fingers crossed.
I hope the pendants arrive in the next few days. Will post pictures then.

Mellow, get that one big really green expensive item! You will never. Ever. Regret buying that. Never.
Plenty of small stuff you likely will. You can get small stuff anytime but not good big green things that are running scarce!
Oh, I just saw that. She was on LS.
And haha, the seller kept speaking dialect. I understood! My dialect. Good to hear it spoken.
@ChaiK Do your sceneries from YY come with collection certificates by the carver? 3 of the ones I've bought on LS will come with them.
The first one that arrived yesterday came with it.
The other two yet to arrive. I don't know why but they are still stuck in Coventry customs. And that is how I lost a pair of bangles. At customs, someone stole it and the UK post office was supposed to investigate. To date, I have not heard from the post office regarding the investigation of those lost /stolen items. An unimportant petty crime so I suppose it gets swept under the carpet since insurers will pay out.

He said if he sold it to you at that price, he would be beaten to death by...his wife? He didn't say.
Oh. Fierce. But he made me laugh. First time I laughed these few weeks.
