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 :smile:

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!

This is very pretty! I like how white and pure it looks. most white nephrite has a light green tinge but yours is pure white. And the carvings are so delicate.

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...

I think you are right that it’s about attitude. I tried wearing a bangle on each wrist but maybe I’m not adventurous enough so I don’t think I carry it off well. Then recently, a jade seller suggested that I stack 2 thin bangles together but the sound of them hitting each other makes me cringe.

Maybe I need some practice [emoji16]
