I love every bracelet in your pictures! Gorgeous! I need some bead bracelets like yours.
Has anyone bought from Yukeyhouse on Etsy? I didn't see them mentioned in the jade seller thread.
I love the bangle! Those lovely grey lines, the lavande, the white... it's one of those "Wow, how unusual!" bangles. If you don't want it, I'll take it, lol.
JK."...used evoo, plastic bag, lotion, waiting until the winter when the summer swell is over........and it looks like it’s staying? It’s beautiful, and I love it, it would be a real shame to break it off."
I wear 57mm, have thin wrists and arms but that big bone at the base of my thumb... I even own a 56mm bangle (all mine are semi-cylindrical "D" cut), and YES, colder weather is your friend, but here is how I put on or take off my small bangles anytime of year. I soak and bathe for awhile in a warm bathtub, allow my skin to absorb the water for a bit, then I coat the inside of the bangle with a clear shampoo, coat my had with it as well, relax, aim downward toward the water, and with LOTS less effort than oil or a plastic bag would require, I am able to push the bangles off or on, keeping the replacements nearby the tub, and do the same thing to put on different bangles. Just soak in that tub (a little prayer doesn't hurt either, lol), and make sure I'm relaxed. I'm not saying there isn't a bit of pain, but I have never gotten a bruise or scraped skin, never had to struggle or push, and the bangles come off FAST, and I catch them in the water, before they hit bottom. My knuckle measurements are 59mm across, so having an easy time with a 56 or 57mm bangle, the bathtub does it for me with minimal suffering. Also, avoid salt for a few days, or take an over the counter water pill like Diurex the day before.

I am in love with my new nephrite bead bracelet and this Jadeite ring recently. Just want to share here
That ring is amazing, Alice! So unique!
I love it!
Yes. Thank you! I love it so much and it became my favorite ring immediately after I received itThat ring is amazing, Alice! So unique!
Sorry piosavsfan, I’ve never used them before. If you do use them , please let us know how it went.
I have a bangle on the way so I will post when it arrives!
I know I’m pretty late, but I wanted to say thank you for the kinds words about my son getting married. It really was a beautiful ceremony
Been wearing this for the last couple days. I hope all the Jadies are doing well
Congratulations C Rose! I’m sure it was a beautiful celebration. What jade pieces did you end up wearing and did you do the mother and son dance?
Thanks so much my dear friend I wore my white hetian bangle and a lavender hetian bangle given to me by another dear friend. I wore vintage diamond earrings and pendant, I had to bling a little
We did do the dance and I picked “A simple man” the acoustic version by shinedown. It’s one of my favorite songs, so when I found it on a list of mother/ son dance songs, I had to pick it. I didn’t realize it was so long, but it was one of the best 5 minute and 30 seconds ever! My kid is so grown up...OMG!!!
Then my birthday was the following week and I treated myself to more hetian. I need to take pictures of the necklace, but here is the bracelet and pendant. I ❤️ them

That is a beautiful song and the words are just perfect. I’m happy you had such special moment with your son
I love your new Hetian pieces! Happy Belated Birthday C Rose Hugs
Thank you so much, the words really were perfect
Thanks so much for your kindness and wishing me a Happy Birthday. It was a nice quiet day at home..... shopping online. I think my hubby forgot he had gotten me a gift already. I’m not sure I would have gotten all three pieces had he remembered, but I’m not complaining at all
