Last night was so exciting as the live sale i watched regularly was having black friday sales. The bangles were going for 50% for existing customers! I managed to buy 1 . However missed out some really nice ones which she showed later as each customer can only get 1 piece. View attachment 4915893View attachment 4915894View attachment 4915895View attachment 4915896

The bangle being slightly bigger might be a good thing for when you get older. I used to be able to fit a 52mm bangle when I was in my late teens. Now decades (more than I want to count) later I can only fit into a 54.5mm bangle. My hands are not as flexible as they used to be.

Im worried about this too so have been buying bigger bangles. Im already in my 40s. Safe to get my true size instead of bigger ones?

I'm not sure. I just recently took interest again in wearing bangles and I'm in my 50's. I'm assuming I will continue to lose flexibility and will not be able to squeeze into even the 54.5 mm bangle (It's an agate bangle. Still searching for my very own jade one, which is why I'm drooling over every one else's.) when I'm older.

yeah that’s true , so I wear the very slightly bigger ones on my right hand .
It’s true that as we age , hands do get stiffer . Even on my left hand I feel that the bangles that go on easier , ( I used to just put them on without soap ) but now without soap it’s very hard to get them on .

That’s also why I m now quite drawn to beads .Because they are on elastic threads easier to wear them without blue blacks .haha

I’ve been buying slightly bigger bangles since the start of my journey about 1.5 years ago. I knew I’d want to change bangles often and I can’t stand pain, LOL!

I was hoping after taking on and off the 54.5mm bangle for the past 9 months that my hand would be more flexible and perhaps can get into the 52mm bangle. Sadly, that was not the case. It was getting too painful trying to get it on. I was afraid even if I pushed forward and managed to get it on that I might not be able to take it off. The agate has sentimental value and I did not want to risk having to break it to take it off.

Yes, after seeing your beautiful beads I want one too! I want both bangle and beads! I have jadeite fever! The only reason I haven't got one yet is I'm holding out for the 'ONE'. I've been learning and looking for about 9-10 months.
