Wow so interesting Lokablue. Thankfully, I have a black nephrite bangle. So glad you told me. Is this something that was passed down from generations? I am chinese so I learned that jade protects you from falls but didn't know it did for anything else.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! I will definitely share this with my friend. I had no idea how amazing black jade is. You are so cute. I love the fact that you talk to your jades. SOOOOO CUTE!
1 of the 4 pictures is a really icy intense lavender color bangle. It’s so pretty. That’s really good value at US$1.3k. A good catch!
Silvermom, i agree with lokablue about black jade. Its super protective. Not only against ghosts but also protect against viruses and bacterias. So please wear your black jade as more protection from this nasty covid-19 bug. Other colors of jade have their own different effect, at least to me. I used to have very bad abdominal colic but after wearing my yellow jade bangle, i no longer have that problem. And i think it doesnt matter if its jadeite or nephrite. Both are effective. Stay safe and stay healthy. Aloha! And please give Sunny a hug for me. Thanks.
Silvermom, i forgot to say this- please wear your black bangle on your right wrist. Black bangle/bracelet should be worn on the right since you are using it as protection.
Awww you are such a sweetheart to remember my Sunny! Thank you. And thank you also for your good advice. I shall wear my black jade on my right hand for sure. Glad to have all you jade sisters to ask.Silvermom, i agree with lokablue about black jade. Its super protective. Not only against ghosts but also protect against viruses and bacterias.

Sometimes I forget this thread exists and that there is a place for me to vent my frustrations where people will understand!
So if anyone recalls, I am the silly one that bought my first jade bangle and it was too small and it got STUCK. I had that beautiful thing on for 6-7 weeks. It went to the UK, France, Vegas, LA with me this summer. At the time I was trying to convince myself it would be fine and I’d love wearing it forever. However, I’m a watch wearer and my left arm (that had the bangle stuck) is where I wear my watch and the bangle was too small to go further up my arm so I basically had to choose between bangle vs. watch, which wasn’t a choice at all because the jade was stuck. Well, I eventually got it off because I lubed up with dish soap and had my friend pry it off me. I honestly thought I was going to break my knuckle.
The point of my post is this! When I finally got my hands on a caliper, I measured the bangle and it was 56mm, not the 58mm that I was told, so no wonder it didn’t come off. I investigated in the first place because I bought a 59mm and thought, this is snug, and it’s a 58mm. “But I thought I couldn’t fit a 58mm, because the other one got stuck.” NOPE,the caliper read 56mm.
I actually returned a couple BEAUTIFUL bangles that I bought from mats_alice because I had gotten 58.5mm but was too scared to try them on for fear they’d get stuck! Now all I want to do is go back and buy all the beautiful jade I’ve seen that’s 58mm, but that I passed on because I thought it was too small! I have a few 60+mm bangles that are beautiful but don’t fit the way I want them to; the way jade fits on our wrists is so important (anyone interested? Haha).
Anyway, if you made it to the end of this, thank you for listening, and DM if you want to see 60+mm bangles! I’ll sell just so I can give them a good home
Thanks for posting. So this is the culprit, eh? So I assume, measure the diameter on the inside? I hope you find the equivalent in your size!Here it is. It's beautiful. 17mm thick & 56.7~mm wide. I search for a replacement in the right size anytime I shop for jade, it's truly my Holy Grail piece. But now I won't try on anything smaller than 58mm and I use the plastic bag method to get it on. 57mm and smaller I know I run too much risk of a repeat
Hi all!
I put my black carved on just about the time we went under quarantine in late March and since then I've gained the "quarantine 15". Normally I have no trouble getting her on & off, but the extra weight = extra bloat = stuck. Ah well, probably better than the alternative.
I usually wear my black bangles when I've felt the need for a "strong" bangle to help ward off negativity. Good to know that includes physical as well as emotional/spiritual. I haven't gotten sick yet! Wish I had put her on sooner.... I had a weird fever in mid-January (high fever, severe fatigue, swollen nodes on the back of my head, no other symptoms) and a super bad cough/congestion in late Feb that lasted 3.5 weeks... and stubborn me did not go to the doctor for either one.
I hope everyone is well.
OH NO....stay well JKP. Your black is as beautiful as ever.
