The JADE thread!

[2boys_jademommy]

I recently got a new oval princess and I’m very happy with it. I do prefer round bangles but this one has such a lovely texture and is different from what I have in my collection that I decided to go for it. I’ve taken a few pics over the weekend under different lighting. Colour ranges from near colourless to pale mint green.

I love how the white jadeite bracelet turned out Well done on both bracelets!

Thanks SmokieDragon! I actually love both so much I couldn’t take them off my wrists.

Silverstar, I love your bracelets!
Actually I had the same idea yesterday. To combine stone beads with silver ones. Mine are from Fairy beads and Trollbeads.
And I want to introduce "Tang" (Chinese for pond; at least Google says so).
I got her with the help of a friend. I am very thankful. Tang is a chubby green Hetian princess. I love her sooo much.

Hi Udalrike! The idea of combining stone beads with silver ones is fantastic! I love that we can add our very own touch to the bracelet and it’s so satisfying.
Tang is beautiful!! I find that even though sometimes this shade of green is hard to “get” on camera, in real life it’s very lovely.

Silverstar I love how you added your own touch in those beautiful white beads. The pop of colour and the Pandora charm adds a unique touch. Your beads from Allen are gorgeous! So happy your project turned out perfect

Thank you so much for your kind words, 2boys_jdemommy!

Your oval princess is TDF, have you been able to take your eyes off it? I wouldn’t be able to. I love the color range, the “flowers” inside and the texture. How are you feeling about wearing the oval shape? I heard people say it’s more comfortable than the traditional round princess since the shape fits your wrist better. Is that true? I haven’t owned a princess or an oval one so I’m pretty curious. Obviously thinking about getting one of them...

Hi Smokie! Your bangle looks similar to my first one. It’s very lovely, and I love the lavender touch (big fan of lavender here!). I think when you sleep OK with it, that’s a sign that it’s meant to be for you.

2boys, she's gorgeous! She looks as if she was made specifically for you. How did you determine the size for an oval bangle?

Thank you Silverstar! The oval shape is very comfortable to wear and clunks around less. In terms of the look I think the round and the ovals look good but I like the idea of a round princess more and I don’t know why lol! Mine is quite slim and so it’s very light. I definitely would recommend a princess bangle as they have a different beauty from d shapes but as for whether you should go for a round or oval that comes down to personal preference. And please share if you get one

Thank you Tea! Regarding the size I remember the Jadies here said to go up around 2 mm from your round size. I like to wear 50-51 mm rounds and this oval is 52.9mm x 46.7mm. I could have sized down more but I like a looser fit for easy removal.

Thank you 2boys! I've always been drawn to oval bangles but afraid to take the plunge in case of wrong sizing. You have me thinking twice now.

Beautiful! It looks great on you 2BJM! I love the floating flowers. Just gorgeous!

What a perfect color match Cy! You always find the coolest browns in Hetian.

Here is another pic of this bracelet with some sun shining on it!
