Think if you wear the rubber loops quite loosely should is ok, but just a reminder to be careful I guess.

Sounds like she knows what caused it, but the paper wants to play up the "oh no!" headline.
I went through a period where I was having RSI symptoms and my doctor wanted me to keep my arms straight as much as possible. I type a lot for work, and I had a bad habit of resting my forearms on the edge of the desk. Pinched nerves... I would get zaps up my arms and pins-and-needles in my pinkies. I can still feel it when I'm not careful about my form. That includes resting on my jade or when I wear a watch.

Thanks but I don't understand Chinese. Really don't think I've seen those bracelets here though. BTW, love your profile picture
Thank you.
Hi! *waves like the new kid*
First time posting! And I’m sure the question I have has been posted about before but 1,304 pages is a lot to go through!
But how do we go about sizing an oval bangle? I’m usually a 58mm (with a plastic bag) in round bangles. But I’ve heard you should size up, but not sure if I made that up in my head.
Any advice?

It's supposed to be 2mm up. So that would be a 60mm oval for you. However, ovals rarely come in such sizes - the biggest size I've seen so far is 58mm which is meant for a 56mm round-bangle wearer.
I'm quite a newbie too, only been wearing bangles since May this year. I always thought I'd never be able to get an oval since I like my bangles loose and usually wear a 57.5-58.5mm but when I visited a jade shop last month, the owner managed to get an oval on me, surprisingly! I ended up buying the bangle and it's my forever bangle on my left hand now while I change the bangles on my right hand every few days. I don't know the size of this oval in mm but as mentioned earlier, my round bangles are loose (cos I like to change them every few days).
Is there a jade shop near you? You should go try ovals there. I never thought an oval could fit me until I visited that jade shop
Hi!
I asked a seller about sizing and they recommended 2mm extra for oval bangles too!One question I am wondering about now... do people prefer to use the same size for all round bangles (accounting for occasionally *maybe* sizing up for an unusually wide bangle or down for a whisper thin one) or do you have different preferences in fit for flat/d-shape vs. princess?
Normally life is not so perfect ie sizing up for wider and size down for thinner because most of the time, I think I'm just glad to see something in a size that works well for me which looks like 57.5mm thereabouts. I also think that if the bangle is too thin, it may require more care and if it's too wide, like say anything above 16mm, it's no thanks for me. As for princess, from my experience at the jade shop I visited, it hurts a little more when taking off cos all that pressure is not evenly distributed unlike a D-shape. Thankfully, the only princess I have is 58.0mm, and it doesn't hurt when I take it off as that extra 0.5mm makes a difference, I believe

For thinner bangles, I have princess cuts, but if they’re the more substantial sized bangles, then I get the d-shaped.
I actually get different sizes (all knowing that I can get them on with a plastic bag). The smallest size I have gotten on was 55mm on my left, and that was painful even with the bag, so I stay away from 55-56mm. Having said that, I can’t get 57mm on my right hand even with a bag, probably because I’m right handed.
But all of my bangles are different sizes ranging from 57 to 60mm. It’s because I like a staggered look when I wear multiple.

I do have lots of jade shops near me. I live in the SF Bay Area, so the Asian communities are prevalent and jade shops are short drives away. The shop closest to me that I trust to have genuine jadeite is very, VERY expensive. I actually found my holy grail bangle (icy lavender in d/flat cut). But it was a whopping $16,000. Didn’t even try it on because my biggest fear is that it’ll break and I have to cough up 16K!!!
Hi and Welcome
I have heard 2MM as well. I have never tried on an oval but I’d like to. Have you heard about the lady that tried on a $20,000 bangle, thinking it was $1000 bangle in price and dropped it on the tile floor? The jeweler told her she had just broken a $20,000 bangle and she passed out in the store. It was all over the internet when it happened. I felt so bad for her because the last I heard they told her she had to pay for it, although I would think they would have insurance for that sort of thing. I like you would not have tried it on either

My bangles are range from 56 to 60. I didn’t realize I could fit a 56 until I gave away or sold all of my smaller bangles. I just started trying on bangles in smaller sizes with soap and realized I could fit a smaller size. Duh right? IDK what I was thinking. I liked my bangles big until I tried on a smaller size which doesn’t hit my wrist bone and is more comfortable. It is a princess cut and painful at times to get off much more so than putting it on. I do really like the idea of a permanent bangle, but I have to be able to get it off or it would start to feel like a handcuff to me. I am still searching for an oval though
Do any of you keep your bangles on at all times? Like a real forever bangle. There is that Chinese belief that jade protects you, therefore always wear it.
But I’m curious how the bangle wears in the shower + sleeping. Anyone?

Hello and welcome. I always wear a bangle shower + zzz but switch the bangle from time to time. That is until my HG bangle is found and price is not a deal breaker
I am wearing an oval forever bangle on my left hand now. It’s ok for shower and sleeping. The only problem I have with sleeping is that sometimes it will hit against the one on my right hand cos apparently I like to cross my arms in my sleep haha. Then the clanging sound wakes me up at that moment and off to sleep I go again
