BreadnGem I can see why this is your favourite lavender [emoji7] Translucent, gorgeous soft pink colour, fits you perfectly and it’s a princess!
Thanks, 2Boys! Yes, this one is a true princess, lol
This came today - it’s slightly smaller than my Mountain Dew (and tbh I like it more) - progress thanks to you all!
@BreadnGem -- I love how stacked bangles look but every time they chime, it always kinda scares me.... it's a pretty sound but internally-- I cringe bcuz of micro cracks and cracks you can see lol!!! once I was clapping and my jadeite bangle demolished my xiu/serpentine bangle it was at a graduation and I wasn' clapping hard-- but the jade must've hit the xiu just right and BAM!! no mas xiu bangle
ooh I love your bangle @BreadnGem !!!!! it's soo pretty!!! love the color
iam looking for something similar but I've noticed that some of the quality isn't the same as even a couple yrs ago and if it is, man! does it cost a lot more now!!... so i don't think i ll get something this good ever lol!! but I love looking at everyone's bangles!!!!
while ago.... I got this safety donut, but I never wore it because the hole in the center was to small for my chains.... so it just sat.
Since it was just sitting I decided to bead around it and make it into a beaded medallion, I was thinking of putting it at the end of a hair stick, but it doesn't look like something on a hairstick to me
made with vintage Cheyenne Pink beads & 24k gold cut beads.

I've already shipped them back to the seller. This was the auction:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Bl...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
They had an appraisal from a jeweler for over $2K but as soon as I felt them I knew they weren't gold nor were they nephrite. Felt like plastic, they were way too light. I put them under a black light and there were some scratches on the back which glowed, but that could have been polish. So I called their jeweler who said they stood behind their appraisal but couldn't tell me how they decided if they were nephrite /-: And then told me they felt different because they were higher grade nephrite than my bangle /-: So I took them to a jeweler and he went back and forth and then looked under a microscope etc . . . said the edges of the stones were red and that the "gold" setting wasn't. Thankfully the seller will refund my money . . . of course she says she paid $2K and is upset at her loss . . . I suggested sending them to GIA or Mason Kay and then going after Ralph Lauren's Estate to get her money back . . .
Sooo many pretties! I am crazy busy this week but hopefully will be back to my morning coffee time next week (-;
In case anyone was thinking about buying the bangle case . . . it came today. I will just say it will do the job but I'm not thrilled with it. It's made of cardboard with pleather covering and was shipped with only a layer of styrofoam over it, no box, so one of the corners is dented )-:
