Priya Ramanathan runs the wear-test side of Jadeship and logs every box, pouch and customs slip arriving at the bench. Packaging is photographed before opening, and pieces are weighed and checked for chips, wax residue, stringing slack and odour on arrival. Pendants are worn for 14 days and bangles for 30, with rotation, hairline inspection and the finish's response to hand soap, sunscreen and ordinary knocks tracked. On scoring day, current prices at three retailers are recorded with shipping costs and return terms, placing wear observations alongside the conditions of purchase.

Before opening a parcel, Priya photographs the packaging, then weighs the piece on arrival and records chips, wax residue, stringing slack or odour. Each pendant is worn for 14 days and each bangle for 30, tracking rotation, hairline inspection and how the finish withstands hand soap, sunscreen and ordinary knocks. Current prices at three retailers, shipping costs and return terms are recorded on scoring day.
