Hi. what do you wear between the jade bangle and watch to protect the jade and the jingling sound? Any suggestions better than my hair tie? Thanks.

I have an assortment of silicon bangles (designed for kids to chew on "Juniorbeads chewbeads", but looks like they're discontinuing) and "vsco bracelets" that kind of look like the lokai bracelets. Whether they will work depends on your bangle size, though.

Recently, I have been making beaded memory wire bracelets. Because they fit tighter, I can use them to keep one bangle pushed higher and out of the way.

I use a crystal beaded bracelet as a buffer, but for the Apple Watch specifically, I bought a clear plastic case on amazon. I wear my watch on my right and bangle on left but sometimes I rock a bangle on the right, for funsies. I actually like the tinkling sound of jade against jade but I’m scared of damaging them so I do the crystal buffer. I hear that crystal isn’t as hard so it won’t hurt the jade. The lady at Churk’s workshop even told me jade beaded bracelet is fine to wear too.

You can try a FOPE Flex’it bracelet. They are made of 18k gold and can be worn 24/7. Amazingly comfy. They roll on and off the wrist. No clasps. Here are a couple in my photos, protecting my gold bangle from rolly squashy scenarios. Mine are from the Love Nest (the big one), Eka Tiny and Prima collections

For me, even before I gained actual weight, there is a difference in how well my bangles come on and off depending on how hydrated I am. When I'm on my period, my hands swell. Too much salt, my hands and wrists swell. I have a few different rings to wear, too.

I have to lose another 10lbs to take my bangle off. And then I'd have to lose another 15lbs to comfortably wear the first few bangles in my collection. Larger bangles can be fun to add in, but you do have to be a bit more careful against accidental knocks.

I have the same issues with hand swelling. Lately I have had major swelling in my arms and legs. I cannot comfortably wear my rings sometimes let alone a bangle that is round on the inside. The half round one is okay at my regular size.
Oh cool, I will join the group now.
