Oh! Hopefully your bangle and beads arrives safely and pristine! As for buffer bracelets, I've seen jadies wear silicone rubber "bead" bracelets, wood bead bracelets, telephone cord bands, and scrunchies to separate the bangles. Now for shipping time, I'd say now's definitely the good time to order something as lord only knows how many delays will happen this month since Christmas is coming before you expect it, personally for me, it takes somewhere around 2 1/2 - 3 weeks for it to arrive to the US.
I myself which fits perfectly between my two is my loki bracelet .plus it's goes towards good cause when I buy one .I'm want to wish HAPPY holidays and I can't wait to see them .I wear my shape first followed by princess cut .I posted picture so u can see.

Omg so much nice jade in the last few pages. Cute marble-like pixiu, icy bangles and vibrant donut bracelets, glossy laughing buddhas, and an adorable jade teapot set (!!!) and more! Wow!


ChloeBB, if you can't return it, I hope you warm up to your bangle. FWIW, I think it has a fresh, spring-like gradation of colors! It reminds me of blooming lilacs.

I had a similar experience when I bought a bangle online earlier this year. It disappointed me as soon as I took it out of the package. It wasn't what I expected, I was actually sad and immediately wished I could find an easy way to sell it. I have mostly come around on it after appreciating it for what it was, and not focusing so much on the features that didn't live up my expectations. I'll be honest and say it's still not my favorite, but I reach for it with some outfits nowadays and surprisingly, it's by far the one that gets the most compliments from people around me. Maybe you will also find the charms in your green and lavender bangle after wearing it more.

I love it look so beautiful on you .love colors too thank you for sharing your story about it .
 
Hi ladies, with a milestone birthday coming up in 2020 and a growing appreciation of jade, I've taken the plunge and ordered a bangle and bead bracelet from the Trusted jade sellers list here.

I'm very excited to receive them, though imagine it'll take a while since they're coming from East Asia and it's the holiday season in the West. That gives me plenty of time to plan how I can wear them!

I wear a watch on my left hand and stack whatever metal I feel like on it, and wear metal cuff on my right hand which I never take off. I think in order to protect the jade, some sort of buffer is needed...

Silicone bracelets are mentioned on this thread - can anyone share photos of what silicone/any other types of buffer bracelets they use in order to stack your jade? Or do you simply stack as you see fit and not care? Or maybe only wear a single piece of jade on each hand and not wear anything else? As a jade newbie, I'm keen to understand the options! :angel:

Some ideas for buffer bracelets. The colourful leather and metal ones are from Les Georgettes while the silver and black metal mesh one is from TOUS.

Love the lavender twist and the mint green! Both are lovely gifts.

Does anyone know or have personal experience if people's preferred bangle size tends to change over time. Excluding the obvious cases of significant weight gain or loss, do people's hands change enough through pregnancy or aging that you need to size up for comfort as you go through life, or does it vary enough by person that there aren't any hard and fast rules?

My 2020 jade wishlist item is going to be a bangle with some vivid green on it, which I imagine will be expensive enough that I'll want a great fit, but not so small that it would accidentally become a forever bangle one day. The smallest bangle I currently have is a 55 round and I can get it on and off without any discomfort or special tricks, but the smallest bangle I've tried on was a 54x49 oval and not gonna lie, I felt nervous and a bit uncomfortable taking it off.
Other than weight gain or loss, time of day also plays a part, I feel, in swelling of hands. Ie. afternoon is more swollen than morning, for example. I think as long as you can lather on some hand lotion and slide the bangle on and off, that should be fine. I'm also a 55mm round, but need a 57mm/50mm oval. Apparently, ovals need to be 1.5-2.5mm wider than what you'd comfortably wear for a round one.
 
So I saw an ebay seller named precious jadeite and she’s selling a watery Guanyin carving that I’m eyeing on due to how picturesque it looks and how my mother has an obsession with Guanyin themed items.
I believe a PF member named Jadedonut has bought their items too and had some success with it. So I’ll need to hear some other jadies’ experiences with them and if their jades are untreated.
Item in question
 
Hi ladies,
Got some more jade at the flea market. Bracelets and necklaces

Decided to do some random flashlighting behind this laughing buddha I got from my gojade haul (it was the smallest one and with the most subtle colors), it was mesmerizing until I saw a stoneline on it’s right (left in our POV) chest. I wasn’t troubled at it at all but looking at the listing photos, it was barely noticeable too so I also contacted them about it but said that it was perfect since they haven’t noted any flaw lines on it. So I suspect they missed the stoneline since it was really only visible when held behind a light. (It’s much more noticeable in the 2nd photo)
