The JADE thread!

You are very brave but I will be wearing more than one in the future. I recently bought a rose quartz bracelet on elastic cord so I can keep the bangle from sliding down all the time. It’s a little big but it doesn’t risk falling off. I also bought some smaller silicone spacers (the gold Buddhist rush bracelets) to keep them from hitting each other or my watch. Do you wear any on your dominant hand?
My dominant is my right and I had carpal release surgery years ago. It is so much bigger than my left. I don't bother trying. A great idea for gold silicone spacers. I need something nice for watches and jade.

Don’t risk putting a bangle on your right hand. It would be really bad if you can’t get it off when you need to one day. I love the look of gold with jade. Gives off such a warmth. I shopped around for a long while before I found the Buddhist rush bracelets. I don’t buy them from Shein though, just a vendor on Etsy called DollarDolls.
A watch might take up precious real estate on your wrist if you wear many jade bangles. I bought a watch earlier this year, a Tissot flamingo. It’s a nice dress watch and I’m very happy I got it. Now I don’t have to check the time on my phone all the time.
 
Dan Hurd is a channel I watch on YouTube and he is a teacher by profession. I have learned so much about gems and rocks from him, so I left a comment to ask about our jadeite bangles. Thought I would share here if you’d like.

I can not think of a better word but “graceless” when it comes to me and jewelry. “Dainty” isn’t something my body recognizes in any shape or form. Any bangle I get I bag within minutes of putting it on I kid you not lol. I purchased a qiemo bangle (one of my faves btw) and my husband left a huge cast iron pot on counter. Never even noticed it was there and went to dry my hand and bam, hit it dead on the thick handle sticking out. My bangle is fine. I was shocked so now I just enjoy them and let it be what it will be. I just purchased a grail piece from Kimora Lee Simmons high end hello kitty line and I’m super nervous if that will survive me lol. I took every bracelet off that wrist but a diamond tennis bracelet that is 25 years old. Beat up bad but still looks nice :lol: Pray for my kls bracelet lol
 
Do you take off your bangles at the end of the day? Do you wear any 24/7? Do you have one that you always wear, regardless?
I have couple bangles I only wear to sleep in. They have really good positive energy to me. I have a bangle with healed stonelines that I wear with all my silver bracelets (as much as 30 silver bracelets). It’s a bigger size and it just floats on my wrist with my silver bracelets. It always gets compliments. I have also worn bangles 24/7 for months too. As you get more bangles the special ones start to stand out to me. For a bumper I used sterling silver princess shaped bangles. They seem to work the best for me and I love the sound they all make together. I have a wooden bangle that is just a bit flatter on the sides that works well too. The rush bracelets are gorgeous :tup:

I’ve definitely had to be more mindful as I wasn’t to it in the beginning. I’m a bit better now. So sweet of your husband to leave the cast iron out, lol. If it weren’t for your bangle, it would be your arm and wrist! Please post pics of the new bracelet when you get it!

Can I ask where you bought the bumpers? You have probably posted pics before but would you mind posting pics of your bangles? I love seeing others’ pieces.
 
Yes 24/7. Never a fixed one but typically once I have it on, it stays on for a long time till I decide to change. It’s been this purple one for a few weeks now

Gorgeous! I love your ring too. The colours are mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing! Do you soak your bangles in water if you aren’t going to be wearing them for a long time?

wow! Your stacks are beautiful. I especially like the second picture. Gives me vibrant life vibes because of the leaf charm. How long did it take for you to adjust to the weight of them all?
Thanks so much. Not long at all, maybe a couple days. I love heavy pieces, I call them my hand weights:giggle:
I switch my bracelets up a lot and add jade to them too.
