Can´t recommend the seller but maybe the description helps....

Thanks, Uli! The ring is labrodite, but goes nicely with a few of my bangles for a casual look, I think.
Re the dragon, better not - I have to start being good sometimes! I've been on a bead binge lately 😈

Oh yes, I remember....
I especially like the one with the carved bead!!

Thanks!

I have read through that and measured my knuckle area, palm and wrist and even though the true measurement as described in this article is 2 3/8", when that size is on my wrist, it's too big and bangs around which is what Im trying to avoid. If I need to use soap or lotion to get the bracelet on and off I can do that, just not sure how much smaller I can go to fit properly on my wrist and still be able to get it on over my hand.

ETA: I also believe the equivalent measurements of chain bracelets on that site to be incorrect as a 49-52mm bangle is much smaller than the diameter of any of my 6" bracelets.

2 3/8 inches is 60 mm, so 58,2 mm might be perfect....

At the moment I often wear Courage , "the travelling bangle":

If your bracelets are 6" in length then that estimate is approximately correct. My 51mm inner diameter D-shape bangle has a 6" circumference and for me is the perfect balance of snug w/enough movement. I also have a 50.5mm inner diameter princess-shape bangle that fits me well. Both of these I wear on the left only.

Caveat: your knuckles must be flexible and your palm not too fleshy. I made the mistake of forcing the 51mm onto my right hand once & was stuck wearing before I was ready to commit to 24/7 non-removal. I pinched some nerves getting her off and it took months to heal.

What does that mean????????????????????

 

[udalrike]

Can anyone tell me what happened?

 

[udalrike]

I ABSOLUTELY don´t deserve this. I was always kind to anyone.

I once lost a friend (a jade sister) because she did not write anymore although I went with her through thick and thin. (I REALLY don´t know why she did this).
Then I was afraid to lose another one because I had the feeling she did not react anymore and told her that yesterday.
And THIS is the result????
Someone who calls herself "Lots Love" writes something like that (obiously because another sister told her to do).
IS THAT FAIR?????

The saffron color is gorgeous. It looks great stacked with your rose quartz bangle.

thanks, fluffypants

With a little bit of help from Crosso I was able to buy a carved bead necklace to wear with my bangle and quartz carved bracelet.

I don't know anything about the type of jade or the colors- but I know that I love my bangle and my new necklace

zooba, congrats on your new necklace. so pretty and unique

Ok, not jade related, but have to share. This is nothing to some of you ladies, but this is A LOT (about 6", I think) of snow for where I live!!! Was hoping for my jade peony necklace to arrive. Not today!
