Gorgeous bangle!

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.View attachment 4522477

Thanks for the eye candy Berniechocolate! Beautiful beads and bangles SilverStar and Smokie, thanks for sharing! The beads from UJ look very peaceful indeed and Smokie, you have a two in one with the two sided bangle, great choice!

I am considering one of those twisted bangles and I have a question about sizing since I can't see it in person.

If you have worn one of these, do you need to go up or down a size? The carving looks like it has extra room on the inside so maybe go smaller, but it is also somewhat pointy so it could be more painful to put on. Should I go larger, smaller or exact size as my normal round bangle? I can't decide.
I saw lots of these twist bangles on eBay. Some were sold for around $100 and some are listed for around $1000 (still not sold). I actually recognize this very bangle in your photo, listed on eBay and Poshmark for $900 something by a US seller. Anyway, you can see close up photos of this type of bangle from a current listing on eBay; search item number “183929368560”
Based on the photo, the little gap between each twist knot is about 1mm indent. It will probably fits 1 mm smaller than the measured diameter. It won’t matter much unless the size you are looking at is very close to the smallest possible size you can slip on.

Thank you, Vicky! It is good to know about all these bangles and the difference in prices. I'll look close to my size then.

I have seen such beautiful jade pieces here lately I am really craving one of those really translucent bangles. Wanted to share an amazing finding, remember las November one of my favorite bangles broke and I was so sad since it was an oval mixed deep green and lavender. Yesterday I found a sister of that one and my hubby got it for me!!! I am in love with the colors and fit!!! Feel so lucky to have found one so similar and even more colorful! 883DB9E5-8B40-4148-B420-A43F5EB29F94.jpeg 71EB352D-4B10-4937-8918-F429D5EE69B2.jpeg 32660FB6-1005-4127-A64B-8AF95D94BEC7.jpeg AF9922CE-BE9D-4C2D-A2CC-C759E99A83EC.jpeg
