My new near colorless bangle. Just wanna share. [emoji4]
Lovely jade, ladies! It’s been a while since I’m here, so thought I’d post a couple of pics of what I’ve been wearing most lately. A light lavender one and a princess light green. The light green one has some icy lavender patches.
I still feel self conscious wearing a bangle on each wrist. Do you think it’s too much? The green one is a little difficult to remove.

Hi, BreadnGem,
Your bangles look wonderful and sooo dreamy.
I love princess cuts.
Wearing my only (not hinged) princess cut bangle
It is a beloved gift.
And don't ask me if 2 bangles are too much...
I am wearing 5 right now.

Quick question ladies, what does it mean if your bangle changes color? So i had one from when i was in highschool, sometime around 2004-ish that was purchased from china when we did a tour there. I wore it for so many years but the color changed. It was a light lavender without veining, it looked a bit translucent. We had to break it off last year because it was too tight and it became a light green shade. We couldn’t get it off no matter what so we had to break it by force. I did get a replacement from my husband.
One of the asian ladies we see at the market told me that it was ‘fake’ because it changed color. I honestly have no idea and it was bought as a gift while we were on tour many years ago. I never took it off until last year.

Hi dster1 I agree with JKP that the thinness of B is comfortable and it is also very sturdy. I have a thin bangle I used to wear and had no issues. However in terms of my favourite of the 3 i like A and B best. I love A for the gorgeous violet shade. It’s fairly even in tone throughout and I like the broken ice texture. It has a sweetness to it. I love C for its translucence and dreamy swirls. It has more personality and energy. Personally I would choose C because that is the type of bangle I feel would suit me right now but you have to go with your heart. Sizing is also a factor. Which would fit you best?
Good luck and let us know what you choose.
Regarding your question re sizing 2 mm can be a big difference depending on how “picky” you are. My bangles are 50 mm - 52.8 mm and I will not go bigger because it feels really clunky and the gap is huge as I have small wrists. I can go smaller than 50 but don’t wont because I like to remove my bangles easily. So if I loved a bangle but it is 54 I wouldn’t get it it nor would I get a 48mm. All this to say 2 mm can be a lot.
Jessicakoh this is breathtakingly beautiful. Where did you find this one?
So sorry your bangle broke. I’m sure that was heartbreaking.
I’ve read that scientifically jade does not change colour but many people have experienced colour change including my dad’s pendant which he has worn for decades. Personally I feel my bangles become ever so slightly more luminous with wear but I’ve never had colour change.
Would love to see your replacement bangle from your husband
So many posts and beautiful pics to catch up. Good to see you Jadies! [emoji847] Hope you all have a lovely day. [emoji4]

We tried breaking it twice actually. In 2012 because my job back on the floor (medical) then did not allow any jewelry but I was excused because i could not get it off. Second was during my pregnancy in 2015 because I was so swollen. Still was not able to break it off.
Here is the new one. I honestly miss my first one but my replacement is so much easier to wear. I can take it off easily and not have to worry so much.
Thank you everyone for you input regarding the three bangles. I ended up with B, the thin one because I just keep going back to it and sizing wise, was most perfect for me. It just shipped from Singapore and should arrive in the states in two weeks. Will update with pics later on!
It’s beautiful! I also prefer bangles that I can take on and off easily. I want to be able to wear different bangles and the thought of having a bangle stuck would bother me.
I’m happy you found such a pretty replacement even though I understand you miss your old bangle. One forms a bond with jade prices. [emoji4]
Thank you! Yes and i was afraid of ‘losing’ it because i felt protected with it on. So if i had no replacement, i felt like i would get hit by something tragic. Lol. A little overactive imagination going on.
