Jade Bangle

Telling new from old seems difficult but wonder about the price tag. That NG gives any clue about the retailer?

 

Vietnam is my guess; a lot of Vietnamese surnames start with that combination, they value jade, and use the Latin alphabet.

 

Do they use USD in Vietnam or more like US based Vietnamese?

 

I think I've got it. Hong Kong. They use dollars, and this article popped up on search about Hong Kong jeweler Estella Ng.

Hong Kong make sense. However, the name of the company is Tse Sui Luen Jewellery and NG is a deputy chairman.
Anyway, at least I know it’s not from the cheapest jade out there but not a high end either. Unless the piece was bought some time ago as jade prices are way up now.

 

It's not the absolute top grade, but it does look pale lavender from here and that's always a good thing.

 

I noticed that but it’s a reflection. Mosly white with about 1/4 being very pale green.

 

Oh well. White's good too.

 

Advice needed. If I ebay it, should I show or hide the tag?

 

Show it if you're starting lower.

 

Well, I bought it for $50, so if it sells for 100-150,I’ll be happy.
Showing the price tag may create physiological barrier and people may not want to bid over that price.
I think I’ll start at $99. If it does not sell, I’ll show the tag when relist it

 

By the way, it’s the all round bangle, which is the traditional old shape, as opposed the one that are flat on the inside. I know the flat back are more recent but I guess the round one are still made today.

 

I'd not show the tag, it's only $70 ish US.

 

Exactly.

It is very pretty, by the way, and I hope you make more than HK$ 550.

 

The round ones are made just as much as the D cross-section ones.
