Hi Jadies, hope all of you having a great day so far.
Would love for a suggestion, recently one of my jade seller from China recommended this bangle to me. I’m contemplating if I should take the leap and get it. However because I am only able to view it through videos and photos I’m afraid it might look different from the pics. I’ve always wanted a vivid / emerald ish green bangle, however the seller has informed me that this contains patches of yellow hints within the green, but for Jade culture yellow symbolizes money & prosperity so I don’t really mind the yellow hint.

Should I take the leap of faith?

This is a beautiful bangle, I am partial to yellow jade. If you like it go for it [emoji4]

Beautiful collection [emoji4]Have you decided when you will attempt to put Iroh on yet? I love its golden colour.
Junkenpo, the carved princes looks elegant and delicate, and I love Iroh 's gold honey color, too bad it's small for you right now.

Speaking of putting on tight bangles, how many mm smaller would you ladies attempt to put on below your usual size?

There is a bangle I have been stalking. It is 20mm wide and 2mm less than what I can put on. (That is, what I can slide on with a thin shopping bag, no pain and like 16mm wide.) Unfortunately, the bangle is not near me so I can try it on before purchase. It is not an expensive one at all, but should I buy and keep trying to put on later? I am not sure my wrist is likely to get smaller... Or have you experienced that wrists can change by that much?

I have tried using paper circles of the smaller size but the paper circle bends and I am afraid I will tear it and the test is not very accurate anyway. What would be your advice?

If you like it I say go for it [emoji6] I don’t see much yellow in the bangle and I personally like yellow and as your seller mentioned it’s just a hint. I think most greens lean yellow or blue and perhaps this one is more yellow...
It’s very pretty in my opinion.

If you can get 16mm wide bangle on with “no pain” then perhaps you can get 20 mm with pain. Not sure but that’s my guess. Wider bangles are a bit harder to put on due to more surface area. I find using soap more effective then the bag method. Also oil olive.

This is a great question! I am in the same boat as you. I purchased a white nephrite bangle with dendritic pattern and it’s a 57. I have worn a 58 that is 18 millimeters with a tiny struggle but I haven’t used soap or anything. This bangle coming is 14 millimeters wide and a princess shape. I must say I couldn’t always get a 58 on. I have lost about 13 pounds. My sons getting married in September and I refuse to be heavy in the pictures. Plus I heard there has to be a mother son dance??!!!

Anywho, I digress.. I went for it. It wasn’t cheap but it didn’t break the bank, so I’m hoping it fits. I love chunky and wide bangles. I will definitely share my experience when I do receive the bangle [emoji4]
