Update on the bangle I wanted - it's on its way to my auntie! Ended up asking another auntie since the original one wasn't keen on the idea at all.
Once it arrives she'll take it for an appraisal to double check, then it'll be brought to the UK by my cousin at the end of September

Bangles with flat inner rims are more comfortable to wear because it lies flush against your wrist, and look nicer irl due to bigger outer surface area -> more on display. Rounded bangles tend to be more photogenic, have higher investment value, and are preferred by collectors. However if you're buying one to wear, it comes down to personal preference and the size/shape of your wrist.
I went for flat inner rim because I've tried both types - my fake bangle is flat, sister's is all round - and didn't like the latter as much.
As for size, apparently the all round bangles run bigger. For example, if you normally need at least 57mm in flat bangles, you could also wear a 55mm round one.

The lavender stole my heart !
For those of you who have jade bangles, do you have the rounded ones like the one above or the flat inner bangles ? How do you choose which bangle and why ?

I'll definitely post pics when I get it.
