Hi Jadies,
This is my first post here after lurking for so long in this thread. Lol Feel like home here!
I got my jade addiction since lat year and here is part of my collection. The bangle and the beaded bracelet are everyday staple. The lavender ring I had Churk custom make it but somehow I feel it’s too thick (4.5mm thick). Let me know what you think. Does it look too chunky?
Thank you in advance for your input!

Silverstar, i do not think your ring is too chunky. Jade ring bands like this should have a nice thickness for durability. If too thin, it may crack very easily since the entire ring is jade with no gold or silver to protect it. I have several similar rings but with carvings, and i love that they are not too thin to break easily.

I love your bangle it’s very pretty. As for the ring it doesn’t look too chunky but is it comfortable? It looks great and I agree the thickness helps with the durability. [emoji3]

Thank you, 2boys_jademommy! I guess it will take a while for me to get used to the thick band. It’s ok for me to wear during the day; I just have to take it off at night otherwise it will be really uncomfortable.
I got my bangle from UJ. Here is another picture of it, taken by Nandar.

It’s gorgeous! This is the same bangle as the one you are wearing? In this photo it’s more bluish and in yours it’s greenish. What a difference lighting makes! Beautiful bangle [emoji7]

Thank you 2boys_jademommy, Junkenpo and jadeitebear! I've loved looking at all of your jades reading this thread and can only hope to have pieces like the ones you all own one day. Will definitely post photos of the new bangles when they arrive! :smile: I have a very small wrist but sizing guides for bangles were a little all over the place, so I was careful and decided to buy a larger size for my first few purchases. Hoping everything goes well with my next purchases--pretty sure the one from Churk at 52.8mm will fit, but am a little worried the unijade 51mm might be a bit too tight.

And thanks Silverstar147! Your bangle is so icy and perfect for any outfit. I think going on a green kick next is a great idea so you can share more beauties here! :P Love the ring Churk made for you as well - it isn't too chunky in my opinion, but I do love wearing tons of rings at once haha

I've been very bad and purchased this hello kitty pendant from Yokdee this week as well lol:il_1588xN.1856349297_d3oq.jpg
The yellow color was really sweet and I couldn't resist. Gonna try not to make any new purchases until fall... My grandma actually got me into jade initially and this reminded me of her as her first gifts to me were jade and a hello kitty plushie lol. Gave me a white saddle ring when I was a kid (that I might have lost, sadly), and passed down an imperial green and 24k gold necklace, ring, and earrings to my mom that I will inherit one day. Next time I'm at my mom's place I will try to take pictures to share here!

Siopinuni, your Hello Kitty is so cute and lovely! I love its translucency and the carvings as well. Thanks for sharing the story about your grandma, and I can’t wait to view more jade items from your family. They’re always like candies to my eyes. :)

2boys_jademommy, I love those bangles with two sides of colors! Have always dreamed of getting one for myself. How precious it is!

Thank you Silverstar147! Jade is such a beautiful gemstone so I understand why a lot of the other ladies in this thread got so addicted haha. Can't wait to see more photos of your jade pieces as well! (both current and upcoming) :smile:

2boys_jademommy, I love both your new purchase and the lavender bangle! Was eyeing it when reading earlier in the thread because its just such a beautiful color and very icy! The yellow spot makes the new bangle especially unique in my eyes :heart: And thank you for showing me the difference in sizing!

Just received my bangle from unijade and thought I'd share some photos:

At 51mm, it fits a lot better than I thought (on my right hand too!) and I got it on with minimal effort using a produce bag. Its my cheapest bangle, but I love how light it is and the fit. Might even be able to go a bit smaller?

For comparison, here are some pics of my UJ bangle (56.3mm):

Thanks for letting me share~
