Beware of experts

I came across an in-depth article giving advice on ‘How to buy a jade bangle bracelet today. The headline itself should have been enough to warn me the person writing it might have limited knowledge of the stone of heaven. I know what a bangle is. I know what a bracelet is. I have no idea what a ‘bangle bracelet’ is. The second red flag was the phot of a bangle that accompanied the article. While it is always difficult to tell from a photo I am pretty sure it wasn’t jade. On the plus side it is good to see more and more interest and coverage in the media about jade. You can read the article yourself by clicking HERE. Let let me know what you think. And for those who want to see real jade bangles I have provided a photo below.
