Thanks for the tip! I have never heard of Loupetroop but I will check it out.

I also have a passion for jewelry and Loupetroop is a casual trading spot for collectors. Usually just folks swapping jewelry between ourselves/for sale. Sometimes annoying vendors show up, so as in all things - buyer beware. This spot has a close affinity with another online forum with initials PS.

If it was my size, I would have grabbed that quick! I love love love that bangle. If only I was not a thick, big person. The bangles that can be found in smaller sizes melt my heart.

Funny you say that, because I often find bangles that are too big but they are gorgeous! I’m surprised that the selection of smaller bangles under 55mm isn’t more popular. The common size is apparently 57-58mm which is too big for me and they will fall off.

It does make sense that most bangles would be in a medium size if medium has the most buyers. I agree that many are in a 57 or 58, too. Very hard to find a fine quality bigger than 58.5. I watch all the time. It must have frustrating moments for you too.

This one is in my "love" list. I also really, REALLY love this one. However, it would be tight enough it might get stuck:

Has anyone noticed that there are a lot of very thin bangles now? Of course they take less material, but I don’t like the look and question the durability. 0.7cm is the minimum I think is acceptable in terms of look. There are thicker cut ones, but those are not very common.

I have favorited a few bangles from this shop and it’s very likely I will buy from them. I just inquired if all the certificates come from the same lab and also to confirm that it’s a lifetime money back guarantee if it’s tested not to be type A. More of a reassurance, as any of these shops could be fly by night.
This shop looks like it might also do repairs!

This cut is interesting and I’m seeing more of it as I browse endlessly, lol. It’s like a block cut where the outside isn’t tapered. It would look good to wear on its own but maybe not with tapered bangles on the same arm because they won’t match. I like the floral pattern! Like a little leopard.
