Thank you 2boys and CR. Plum Fleur, for sure! Have a nice day, Jadies 
Very lucky indeed it’s a beauty. [emoji6]
For me I have the issue of needing a small size and also to be honest I tend to like floral carvings and not so much animal ones. They look great on others but not for me and I haven’t been able to find a small floral carving at a decent price.
I'm so glad to hear that there is a solution! I hope you find something that catches your eye. Do please share with us!
Fleur looks so peacful and tranquil! Do you find that nephrite and jadeite feel different when you wear them?
Belle looks amazing, jadeitebear! I would love a hinged bangle for the very reason that it will be more snug on my wrist. Did you have this custom made, or happened upon it by chance?
Ooh so pretty! Love the blossom carvings!
Very ethereal and dreamy!
By the way, I think it is so cute that you jadies name your bangles!
Now I’m on the lookout. Carved, 51 or 50... got it [emoji106][emoji16] I know I’m an enabler [emoji6]
Lol enabler [emoji8]And don’t forget - only flowers [emoji259] [emoji257][emoji255][emoji258][emoji6]
[QUOTE="essiedub, post: 33066999, member: 351962"I think it is so cute bangles!
[/QUOTE]Thanks so much iiturtle [emoji5] Yes, IMHO nephrite feels completely different from jadeite. To me nephrite just feels so creamy and soothing. Jade it’s strong and powerful to me lol. I just love the way nephrite feels. This bangle is different, in that it hits pressure points in my wrist that I’m not used to yet and it’s edges are wavy. I usually wear bangles that are bigger, some are much bigger since I’ve lost weight but I really do like the tighter fit [emoji16]
Hi essiedub! Thank you hun! I definitely name my favorites for sure [emoji5]
Some sad news, I just heard about the mudslide in a jade mine in Myanmar. More than 50 jade miners are believed to be dead. It’s heartbreaking that the discovery of such beauty can come at such an unimaginable cost. I pray for the miners and their families.
Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. I pray for them and their family. So sad.
That is terrible news. Sending prayers to the miners and their families. So devastating a cost.
Thank you, essiedub and iiturtle for the kind words.
I did not have Belle carved for me, but she fits so right, it feels like it and I am lucky that she found me. I had been looking for a carved peach bangle for a long time! Another flower / fruit / plant only gal here.
Those look much like mine in one of my bangles. They aren't cracks. Can yours be felt with a finger nail? Mine are smooth and don't bother me at all. I actually purchased it because of those lines as they remind me of cracked ice. Hard to photograph, but this is mine.

Hello Jadies! I have been secretly admiring all your beautiful collections..always unsure whether a bangle will be suitable for me...thought it might look old..Thank you for the pictures and knowledge sharing.. i started looking around for my first bangle months ago, going around almost all the jade shops. Too many sellers out there and really have to find one that is trustworthy and comfortable with. Finally i found it ! I was mesmerized by the bright green colour, though it's only a small section...i have a flat wrist so this oval shaped bangle fits well for me.. here it is "Evergreen".. I feel so zen just by looking at it. I guess this is what you meant by connection..

The “clouds” do look similar! Your bangle looks translucent in the last pic, very pretty.
