CR, those holes look profesh! Very nice placement too. I love the white slab with green spots. Super cool asymmetrical pendant shapes!Thanks so much essiedub! My hubby purchased me a dremel and I have smoothed out some rough areas on a few bangles and polished some stuff too. Then JB sent me the YouTube video and I gave it a try. Here are some of the slabs I turned into pendants but it took a longgggg time to do
Ok wow. Like how many hours per piece to get them shiny? You polished some bangles?! I would like a dremel!Thanks so much essiedub!

Thanks SD! This is one of the first bangles I purchased when I started my jade obsession
I like your Jadeite ring. You have such a good collection of Jadeite jade as well. And your nephrite bangle is just gorgeous in the sunshineFor a while I collected jadeite slabs, so I decided to make them into pendants with my dremel. I wore this one today and and some silver bangles
I'm wearing my oval lavender on my left wrist and my square light green on my right wrist
Love your pendants! They are all unique pieces
Ideally you would want to as stacking jade bangles/bead bracelets are ill-advised unless you have something to keep them from banging onto each other (silicone bead bracelets for example). Imho wearing a bangle on each wrist isn't necessary if you don't wanna as it can have quite a weight strain on your wrists in the long run lol.
They can be very addictive, there are so many uses for them
You have to use water and take breaks so they don’t get too hot, but I would say about an hour with all that. It is pretty fun though, if your a tinker like me
Thanks so much SD! I do love the look of wearing a bangle on each wrist! I am a klutz though. I hit my hetian bangle on my pendants a lot and I still can’t figure out how, it like they are magnets for each other or something. I have hit bangles together a few times when wearing one on each wrist, but I think I was wearing my bangles too big. I may just give it another shot. I will wear beads on one wrist and bangles on the other and haven’t had that issueI'm wearing my oval lavender on my left wrist and my square light green on my right wrist

Thanks you so much mats_alice! Unfortunately, my rings are too big now and my favorite jeweler moved
I really need new settings. My nephrite bangle is my fave everyday accessory for sure
I’m so jelly you can go and shop jade in person. It must be a pretty cool experience! You found some more pretty nice pieces, I love the pendants
BTW, I love your new doughnut pendant - love the lavender-green in it Thanks so much SD! I do love the look of wearing a bangle on each wrist! I am a klutz though.

About hitting bangles together when wearing one on each wrist, that has happened to me too cos I carelessly bring my arms too close together and also when I'm too excited! So once again, be more careful and don't get too excited
Happens to me when I sleep with bangles on both wrists, LOL somehow they bang and I had to stop wearing one off my right wrist for now. I like the look of bangle and beads though either one on each wrist or together with some spacer.Yes, I do wear one on each wrist all the time, since end-July this year. The only time I took a break was for 2-3 days when I went to Singapore on holiday with an empty right wrist so that I could go bangle shopping. As it turned out, I found my square bangle to wear on my right wrist on my 2nd day there hehe
What's most important is to do what feels comfortable for you. To me, it doesn't look too much as I feel like I'm a late starter so I'd better make up for lost time
I think my bangles are quite light in terms of weight so it should be ok
This hitting of bangle on pendant has happened to me too and I've figured out it happens when putting on earrings and when I'm holding my umbrella with 2 hands due to strong winds. So the moral of the story is, we have to be more careful and mindful of our pendants
