Yes, it is a princess round. I have bangles that are 14-15mm wide and I love them, but for everyday I prefer a thinner width. Ive spent the most on this bangle that I ever have. It was scary, as I bought it online. But it is my nicest by far. Really moist, translucent, and it glows in all light.

I confess. I've looked at your pictures several times already. I live in the US and my options are limited. So online purchase is my best option, but it's hard to buy without seeing the bangle in person. Often times the additional pictures I get don't look like the pictures on the seller's website. Any tips to share for buying online?

Hi, I live in the US too. Ive spent alot of time reading this thread to see what others have experienced and where they have bought. The best advise is to make sure there is a return policy, if there is a lab report, where the lab report is from, and ask for extra pictures.

Thanks! Yes, have been reading this and other threads as well. Haven't made the plunge in making my first purchase yet - mostly because I haven't found the ONE that calls to me and also at the right price point.

These are pictures of my favorite bangles. The blue one was half the price of the green one. The blue has fine grain and a creamy glow. Really gorgeous, but I would call it glutinous , I think.
The green is so much more translucent, you can see it in the pictures.

Amazing collection! I’m in awe at how many bangles people have. I thought my collection of 4 were already too many. Maybe it’s because I used to see elderly Asian ladies with a jade bangle and assumed people only had one that they never took off.

Thank you. Those bangles are much older ones from when I first started collecting. They are more opaque. The past few years I’ve collected mostly translucent bangles as my taste changed. I find the more translucent, the calmer I feel when wearing them. Can never have too many. Lol

This is a lovely blue color! It may not be translucent, but it's just as beautiful. Hmm, I do feel calmer looking at the translucent green one! Love them both!

Thanks for posting more pictures! May I find out where you bought your green one? I'm supposed to be on a bangle ban so theoretically, I shouldn't be asking, LOL! Thanks!
