I remember this and Bernie’s black facet bangle. Very chic :)
So many gorgeous pieces here. [emoji3]
By the way BnG was it you who has that beautiful slim orange bangle? I remember a Jadie here had a whitish bangle with a beautiful bright patch of orange....I’ve been having orange jade on my mind lately. [emoji6]

Are you referring to this, 2Boys?

I hope it's ok I share these, they're recent pieces from my FIL's collection. He's been collecting and selling jadeite for a loooong time (longer than I've been alive!), and doesn't have a website for the pics he takes! Which is a shame, because there's some really fun stuff here:

I actually helped him design this necklace, hehe. He designs a lot of his own stuff as well.

Not sure if this is even jadeite but the color... drool.

He mostly sells from his brick and mortar shop, or directly to his loyal clientele (mostly Chinese/Hong Kong). I've been thinking of setting up a website for him to reach customers outside Asia, as he already takes nice photos of the pieces he gets. However I'm not so great with websites myself, and will have to do a bit of studying... Haven't had time lately though. If I set up the website for him, I can also keep an eye on his inventory and get dibs on my favorites! ...Just kidding... sorta. :angel:

Got to thinking about jadeite again since I'm browsing bangles, and the discussion here is really helpful.

How do you guys figure out what bangle size is best fit? I do have a 51mm d-shaped bangle that fits fairly easily, and I feel I could go smaller but not sure by how much. Really don't want to risk bruising my hands! Are there any tips and tricks for figuring this out?

I wear the smallest size that can go over my knuckles, I like them to fit as close as possible. Maybe you can try 49mm and see how it fits? I can wear 57-60mm comfortably on my left and 59-62 on my right.
