Hi all!

I'm short, but not really petite anymore.. haha, too much food and not enough exercise. Hubby and I started working on it again though last week.

Thank you for the compliments on my pendant and charms. The flowers I actually got at Macy's before ours stopped carrying 18k gold. The diamonds aren't the best quality, but sparkly. The heart used to be an earring that I lost the mate.

I decided to go petite today and rotated my "dainty" bangles in. Narrow, thin. They are just about the same size, so I shove them up as high as they go and they stay put, so they don't bang into each other and I don't need a bumper. Love them!

Good to hear from you JKP - was thinking of you and those in Hawaii.
Love these bangles especially Shrimp - that’s her name right?

Ladies this newbie here is wondering if I could ask for an opinion on what this may be? Does it look like jadeite or nephrite? Hope it’s ok to ask [emoji5]View attachment 4059526

Hey Miznina the colour is more typical of nephrite but when I look at the texture and qualities of the stone my guess would be jadeite. I’m far from knowledgeable and I’m curious what others think.

Thank you! Yes... the greenish one is Shrimp. I can't remember if I named the small black one yet.

The vog has thickened where I live on Maui, no danger to us on the other islands. I do have classmates that live on the big island and some in the puna area. The Hawaiian Goddess of the volcano is Pele... she can be fractious in her moods.

Well I hope everyone stays safe.
I love Shrimp as she also reminds me of these Asian shrimp chip snacks - it’s the ridges:) [emoji6]

at first, I thought it was clear like a jadeite.....but those darker kinda black marks seem to be more on xiu or nephrite bangles it seems like????
I also want to see what everyone else says about this bangle.... I think it's a xiu or a neph... but pics are hard judge sometimes.
no matter that-- it is a beauty tho!!!
I would love wearing it no matter what!! i just love that color of green!!! if it was me, i would be getting it anyway @miznina !!!!

I thought about you these past few wks. I am glad you are safe and I do hope you continue to be safe as this volcano settles. maybe someone needs to leave her an offering and ask her to settle down..... lol!!(thats my native way of thinking of things )
 
Joke of the day .

I like the shine of icy LH and black jadeite bangles I have so much , worn one on each hand . Similar shapes and style , but they keep reminding me of this Taoist ying yang sign lol.View attachment 4057858View attachment 4057859View attachment 4057860

Will keep wearing but not going to join Wu Dang anytime soon lol

those are BEAUTIFUL @berniechocolate !!!!! wow!!! and I LOVE your saints bracelet!!! one of the most pretty I have ever seen!!!! you have such beauties bernie!!!

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

I am native american and I am also thinking the same-- I tend to wear thinner more petite bangles even tho I am not petite at all!!! lol!!! far from it!
I have a ot of thicker bangles but don't seem to wear them as much. but I ALWAYS have one bangle on each wrist and I make sure anything I stack them with is also thin.... I don't think I can get away with chunky bangles and bracelets ol!!!
