Oh hey I know that seller! I personally never bought from them before, but some fellow jade collectors I know have bought Ming's jade piece from them and don't have doubts that what they're selling is untreated jade pieces.Thanks a lot for contributing. I don’t know what to think, the user below is saying it doesn’t look natural lol.
I have 2 other pieces I ordered online, the most expensive one comes with certificates but the other 2 are $150 & $300 pieces without certificates.
I’d be really broken to get attached to any of my pieces and later find out it’s bleached when I thought it was natural grade A jade
This is the other piece coming in the mail that has no certificates. Any thoughts?
Yeah, it's best you tread with caution regarding pieces that don't come with certification and costs more than a pretty penny (unless you know that seller is trusted to sell natural pieces). Also the more I look at the ring, the more I'm not sure if it's bleached or not. So do keep us updated if you do decide to send it for certification!
No prob! Although one thing to note is one fellow buyer of theirs has said that they may come off brusque should you ask them more in-depth about their items, so do keep in mind should you want to ask lots of questions.Thanks for your feedback again
I actually found that seller through this forum and this forum through a Google search. Someone had commented that they sell natural jade pieces. I had messaged the seller and was told it’s natural Jade. They told me they have no certificates however as they are estate pieces they receive from an agent of theirs and sell as is.
The reviews were really good tho so that gave me some peace of mind.
After what I’ve read here I’ve decided to stop wearing it for now. No more money spending for a while. I went on a little soil myself jade shopping spree buying this ring and 2 pendants.
How does the pendant included look in terms of bleaching or now clear enough?
Which I would use Google Translate myself to even have a chance to understand what's being written.
The pendant from how I see it, has more than enough signs that says it's untreated, where there's alot of dark brown colors next to the green with some of it being hidden through the carving, with the green veins itself looking natural. The texture of the jade piece itself can be categorized as waxy or waxy ice at best (蜡质冰 in Chinese) which that itself becomes 蜡质冰翡翠 (Waxy Ice Jadeite in English)
If you wish to learn more in-depth about jadeite jade and nephrite jade. I think GIA, Mason Kay, Ultimate Jadeite has articles describing it's history and explaining jade treatments to you, but I personally think the Chinese side of the internet explains this more if you know what they're saying.
), and challenging to collect natural ones but I truly believe that you can get yourself a piece you'll treasure forever and more that you can give away to your loved ones if you wish. So best of luck on your venture!
No prob! I myself gotten into jade probably 2 and half years ago now. It's definitely pricier to collect these type of stones (let's be honest.. any gemstone collecting is pricy
P.S. If you'd like my personal recommendations for sellers. Mats_alice/songsong0104, gojade/antijade, Watercrystal Jade, Ultimate_Jadeite, Yokdee Jewellery, 3Jade, Allan Spehar of Jade Diver, ChatoyantGem2626, gegegems, MayanMountain, jal_9021 are all sellers I recommend and have bought from once or many times with very favorable experience. Some of them will have premium prices though but if you can stomach it, then please do go for it, you won't be disappointed at all.
Too helpful I tell you
I’m going to save these shops until my birthday next year. I ordered a custom pendant from Yokdee set to arrive in about 3 weeks. She’s getting a bail put on the pendant for me. After I’ll be happy with these 2 pendants for now when I get them and sometime next year I’ll buy a ring from one of the sellers you recommended.
The customer service and relationship from Yokdee is outstanding. There definitely a premium but Irene really makes you feel at ease. That’s the only jade piece I’ll have certificates for. As you told me the lead pendant looks authentic I’ll rest easy for now. I think 2 pendants in rotation isn’t too bad.
That's wonderful to hear! Also that pendant is a beauty for sure, love that mottled green look.
I really hope you enjoy your purchases!

Hello!
You may like to browse this seller as well. I know people who have bought from her, she can provide the reputable Hong Kong certificates and she's really nice to deal with. I haven't bought from her but have made enquiries and she's lovely.

On another note you make me think of my nine year old son. He loves precious/semi precious stones. He's in love with my purple bangle and I'm to donate it to his collection one day. He's fascinated by the purple smooth rock!
Thank you, fingers crossed. I plan to get it certified later this year or early next year.
I have a side question. I’m a guy, but I really loved the pendant for some reason it just spoke to me. Does it look feminine? I’m considering gifting it to my mom and wearing the dragon pendant for me.
When I message the seller about the ring which I suspected may be bleached. This was the message sent to me.
