The JADE thread!

Love the gold and yellow!

So, immediately after my last post, I went and tried removing the bangle again, using coconut oil this time and guess what? It worked! I still think it's mainly psychological, because this time, I sat comfortably on the couch and tried not to think about the possible pain too much. Had to work it around the base of my palm a few times, and it eventually slipped off with only a little pain - which leads me to think that I was too tense before.

Also, I don't think coconut oil is much more slippery than olive oil, so I suppose relaxation is the key. Perhaps you may wish to try again, or wait till the weather is cooler. Anyway, summer is almost over!

I'm glad you were able to take it off, breadngem!

The first and smallest jade bangle I ever put on was a 54 x 49 oval. Removing it required lotion and a moment of anxiety getting it back over my hand, though I can't say it was actually painful. Still, it stressed me out enough that I returned it and got a 57 round the next time. My latest bangle is a 58 which feels a bit too clanky to be perfect, but I hope to go shopping in person sometime so I can feel out what the smallest comfortable, not-scary size would actually be.

Hi Silver Mom!

I’m very sorry to hear you broke your beautiful lavender bangle. I’m glad you could get it repaired and wear it again.

May I know how the jeweler repaired it? You mentioned you designed the repair. Could you show us some pictures?

Hi BnG, I had it set with gold and diamonds. My jeweler sent it to hong kong and had them set it with a laser machine. Here is a picture of the finished job. It took me months and months to think of a design and I am happy with it. Thank you for your kind thoughts. I do think that relaxing really does work in getting the bangle on and off because it works for me.

It’s so pretty and very you Silver Mom. Im very happy that your design turned out beautifully.

I don’t know how to multi quote but I like using soap to remove bangles. I just wash my hands in cold weather and lather soap all around my hand and it works like a charm. No mess with the locations and oils to clean.

Oh Silver Mom! So sorry to hear about the cracking of your lavender. The new bling on it is lovely!

I know. I was in shock. I didn't think I would ever be able to fix it but now I think it looks even better than before. All my bangles are just so plain so in a way this one is really different. Thank you Junkenpo. I think I really love this one the best now.

My No. 1 method too! For putting on as well

Thank you so much Smokie. I learned that things can happen but you just can't let it get you down. God must have been blessing me. I had always thought that I wanted one of my bangles to have more bling and God helped me decide whick one it should be.
