I've become addicted to these jadeite beads and have had trouble finding a way to string them without the elastic Knott sticking out. This type of elastic is great as it does hold the Knott tight, but as you can see in the photo, it sticks out. :sad:
E-6000 glue is the best as it stays flexible unlike crazy glue or such. It's pretty cheap on eBay and really holds the Knott for extra strength.

Very pretty but I love your bracelet!

This is my first post on this thread and well - I gotta ask - how do you get your bracelets on? I bought a beautiful jade bracelet but I cannot get it on (60mm), so I bought another 3mm bigger and I can barely get it on (and I'm afraid to keep it on because I'm afraid I won't be able to get it off), but once it's on, it looks a little big/loose.
Is there a trick? A hint you can give me?

Hi Cookiefiend and welcome to the Jade Thread. I don’t know if this will help you any with getting bangles on and it might’ve been mentioned, as well as using some form of lubricant I slide the bangle over the pointed finger knuckle first, then the pinky finger knuckle, lastly the knuckle at the base of my thumb which is kept bent to the palm of the hand while sliding on the bangle. Using this method I’ve been able to get smaller diameters on. I don’t think I’ll go smaller than 56 as there’s not a lot of wiggle room once it’s on my wrist.
