Hi hi! I've been lurking more than posting recently (nothing new to share) but I can reshare this:

Hi JKP I missed you and your beautiful pieces here! Thought of you when I read about the volcano eruptions in Hawaii. Hope you and your family are safe.

Hello lovely jadie ladies! I finally found a pierced Hetian nephrite bangle that I adore! Have been looking at them for years, but always passed as either I didn't like the carving that well or the color was not the pure ivory 'mutton fat' color I prefer. This one is just perfect for me - I love the even creaminess of it and the feminine, curvy lotus carving! Her name, obviously, is Lakshmi, for the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity whose symbol is the lotus - since I could certainly always use more good fortune :)

The carving is so gorgeous . Scrumptious too , do it find it heavy . Will be so lovely in summer with a floral sundress .

Bernie, I'm Caucasian and during the winter I will wear one on each wrist. Now that summers here and no need for sweaters, I'll double up on each wrist. This is my left wrist. I always wear wood bead spacers in between jade or thin plastic spacers.

Very beautiful stack !

I guess Asians are generally not adventurous to experiment with the stacked looked . But I have been getting too naughty with shopping with not enough hands to go around lol .

I m taking a leaf from u folks . Wearing one jade bangle on left and right . With some light trinkets !

Crosso congrats on your new bangle. It’s really lovely, beautifully carved. It’s so special when you finally find that special one you’ve waited and waited to find. Definitely well worth the wait. Very cool name too.

Ladies may I ask if u ladies adorn both wrist with bangles . As in wear jade bangles on both left and right hand ?

I feel that Caucasian ladies in general cN get away with chunky jewelery look but Asians are more petite hence too much jade might overwhelm us .

Usually I would do no more than 2 /3 jade items at a time .

I like the idea of one jade bangle on each hand with some light trinkets

Bernie I personally don’t think it matters what one’s ethnicity is. To me it’s more of a matter of attitude. I love bold. I’m only 5’3” and I pretty much always have a bangle on each wrist 24/7. I love to stack them when I’m in the mood or to dress up a wrist depending on how I’m dressed with gold or silver and even gemstone bracelets. This is what I do for work too. I love jewelry so I’m not bashful about wearing it. I don’t go too over the top, I only do that when I’m home. Sometimes I put on a bunch cause I love to see them. Lol. Don’t wear them for long though cause I usually have stuff to do...

Regularly I just wear a bangle on one wrist which I rotate as well as a necklace which may or may not be jade. I’m starting to stack but it might be on weekends; even then, I just started and it does get used to. Mind you I am not petite (5’6” here) and I love chunky bangles on nights out but on a regular basis I often go for something daintier and less ‘loud’ due to work.
