My very first jadeite bangle is here. I've tried very hard not to fall in love before everything checks out, but I'm afraid I already have! It took me all of the hr that I've had it. I'm doing a density test tonight, but I'm sure everything will be fine!
I somehow managed to get the right size the first time! Yay! Now I have to get a bangle for my tween dd
How many pictures are too many? Haha. It's hard to photograph the variances because they are so pale
All your help has been wonderful, so if you see anything off, feel free to comment! I'm brand new and am so appreciative of your knowledge
Congratulations on your new Jade bangle [emoji253]
That's so funny!! I want lapis too. I seems the addiction stems to other natural stones than just jade. That bracelet is stunning!
I fear my next bangle will not be as affordable as my first haha! And to think my whole life I've been a diamonds type of gal!! Well I definitely I have room for loving both, but I've been missing out

Jeanek congratulations it's beautiful! I can see why you are in love
and yes it fits you perfectly!Very happy for you 😉
I love how you match your bumpers with your stacks Crosso
I stack my silver or gold bracelets but never jade. Maybe I just need a nice spacer to start stacking..
I forgot to ask if your new bangle has both green and lavender in it - the colour is very soft and it seems to lean a pale green in some pics and a lavender in others. Also wanted to say your diamond ring is stunning!
Those bead bracelets are wonderful and you can coordinate colors with your jade...plus they have a glassy appeal to them similar to jade. I may have to look into these as my usual bumper is a silicone coil wrap type bracelet but I usually wear my bangles individually. Need to gain more of a collection to start stacking
Thank you!
Yes! It's mostly pale green and some even paler green with one light lavender patch. I always turned it towards the lavender patch in the pics because I like it so much. It changes color depending on the light, in low light it looks creamy colored. I can't even imagine what the hundreds of dollars jade pieces do.
The chrysoprase color is something isn't it. I have a ring in that stone that I bought because it reminded me of jade, but now I appreciate it for what it is. There is a pic of it in the semi-precious thread.
Always eyeing - but none I'm hankering for yet!Thank you! I cant decide if I like d-shape or princess better. They both have their qualities to them.
BTW, cant wait to see your new SC addition!!!
You described her to a "T". I lean towards thick, chubby princess bangles too. She measures 11.8 x 53.8mm. I can slip her on my right wrist with soap and water since Seasons stays on my left wrist. I need to be mindful when wearing bangles on both wrists as I am so worried of banging them together!
Have you been eying any new jade lately?
I feel the same way as you! She is so relaxing, soothing to look at and has a positive energy to her. I can send pics your way whenever you need to wind down
Thank you, and had a wonderful , much needed get away. Now need to get back to my exercise and daily chores routine.ush:
I'm so thrilled for you! Your bangle is lovely and looks like a great fit! Do you think you can go smaller? This bangle is a slim D-shape, correct? I personally find I can go about 1mm smaller with princess bangles, but some find the opposite is true for them. Maybe it's because my hands are meatier (even though my wrists are bony thin) that I can tolerate a smaller princess going on??? Having said that maybe I should be hunting for a 52.5-53mm princess bangle!My very first jadeite bangle is here.

Oh goodness I'm not sure what shape it is! That sounds terrible! I will research that next! Haha. Does that last picture help you any? It's slightly flattened on the inside, not round as it is on the outside.
The hardest part to get it on is surprisingly just above the base of my thumb, but I can get it on and off without water or lotion, just wiggling. I suppose I could go down to a 50, especially since I've gained weight and am slowly getting back down to normal. I'm guessing anywhere from 50-52 will be perfect. You should definitely go shopping and post lots of pics!
love that chrysoprase (who's the seller?) & those stacks!

Jackpot! That looks like a really great fit and the colors are soothing.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us all! The color is lovely with the spot of lavender and the fit looks well on you. Enjoy wearing it and love to see all the pictures! I dont think this will be your last...once you get one jade it seems that jade fever starts settling in
Yes, if it has a flat inside and a rounded outside it's a D-shape - if you took a cross section of it it'd look like the letter "D". If you can put on & take off a 51mm with no soap & water, then you can probably go down to 48-49mm with soap & water! But probably from 49-50mm up to 52mm would be the most comfortable if you intend to change your bangles often, which means you've got to get shopping for your future bangles!Thank you!
