Just sharing a pic of my flattish carved bangle. Near opaque with splashes of emerald green and white. Looks like a double phoenix / dragon in the clouds. Thanks for looking.

Hi Ladies!
I am new to Jade, read this beautiful thread here and now I want to try a round bangle in a D- shape. Can you recommend any seller or shop, maybe on eBay oder Etsy? I read the thread about the jade sellers but I wonder if these informations are old. And I live in Europe, so maybe there are also trustable sellers in Europe.
Thank you ladies!

I plan to start on non carved bangles and later think about carved. Yours is very pretty and may I ask how does this piece look when worn? Thanks. @ivorydolly
This particular piece is taller than its width. When worn, it depends on the positioning of your arm to visualise the full carvings. Not as comfy as a princess or D but certainly still wearable
Here is me wearing a child’s bangle. A friend ordered two for her six year old and her daughter only wanted the other one, so she just gave this to me instead of shouldering the return.
It is definitely snug (about 50mm) moreso than my oval and yet again I couldn’t believe it fit.
For those who are inclined to know, I find that for me, the ff work: placing bending the elbow so that it the hand is upright, applying thicker lotion, and getting the bangle through one base knuckle at a time while gently squeezing the hand. Thanks to the jade shop owner in HK I met last month. Also, relax And I think it also depends on how flexible the flesh and joints of your hands are.
Thanks for letting me share.

Wow!!! That is very fitted. Thanks for sharing the info regarding technique. I'm tempted to try some smaller bangles now haha. I know I can easily fit a 51mm princess so maybe I could go down to a 50 too 
Yes the jade seller told me there are two points on hand we need to pick either one to go thru first (depends on your hand shape and personal pref). Same method: hand up, elbow on desk, loads of cream and RELAX. 
I am expecting a 51.8 round to arrive soon. Not sure if this is the smallest I can go. I have a small wrist so I sure hope I can fit even smaller size bangle lol.

They arrived. I bought 3 from the same seller. They are inexpensive (but all natural) but I have fallen in love.

I’d love to know your experience if ever you do try the smaller ones. I recall we both are/were going for the bigger sizes for fear of harming our hands and wrists
They all look great! Just like that you now have a collection. Join the jade obsessed club lol.
I will definitely share my experience! Maybe when I can find a smaller sized chubby princess. That would be perfect!!I’d love to know your experience if ever you do try the smaller ones. I recall we both are/were going for the bigger sizes for fear of harming our hands and wrists
On my wrist today. Now on the hunt to find a pendant that suits it.
I really love slim bangles and @Purrsey, I think your flat slim wuji bangle rocks!
Such beautiful colors on your newest bangle @ivorydolly. Enjoy! Which of your carved bangles do you find most comfortable wearing? I’m trying to figure out which shape to get for a carved bangle, and as usual, comfort is tops for me
