I saw lots of amber in Hong Kong, I wonder if they're real? They go for like $50 for a bracelet

You have some GORGEOUS necklaces. I especially love the RQ! The colour is mesmerising!

So, the lapis bangle I bought for my sis turned out to be dyed. Boo! But the seller was very nice and refunded my money, so I bought this chrysoprase bracelet. (Thanks for the tip on Vanesspan, Millicat!)
And I think my rose quartz will arrive tomorrow! Yay!

New Madagascar rose quartz bangle from reikocrystalbeads - love it! Perfect baby pink color and pretty even. Nice and thick too, so hopefully not too fragile. Happy, happy!

Hi fan, yes it is 8mm thick, 20mm wide. At least that is what seller had listed, I have not measured yet. It seems thicker than 8mm, especially on the high point of the dome.

Very pretty pairing, they are each lovely, but complement each other so well!! I'm wearing agate today too, with Guatemalan black jadeite.

Very nice! Aren't you worried about the agate? Mine feels too glassy and when it touches anything hard it feels like it will break!

Glad to hear that about durability - I was not sure about how tough or fragile rose quartz is as compared to jade or agate. I do love it, but am way to fickle for a permanent bangle of any kind😉, I change bangles daily. I don't stack stone bangles together often, being concerned about damage, but also because I can't have them clinking around while at work. The pics I post with them together are not how I usually wear, I usually have just one per wrist.
Would you show yours again? Would love to see it! RQ is so soft and feminine, I love it!
