Cdtracing, thank you for the compliments! Much appreciated:)

Trekkie, I believe those are super painful! So sorry. You are right, it's not worth doing without soap and water.

Once, on a hot day, I was swollen and forced a tight bangle off in order to try a stacking brass bangle on. It left small bruises like that which hurt when I moved my thumb. Felt like I ruptured a vein. I know how painful those are.

That's a very lovely bangle. Love the light, almost chartreuse color with the coolness of the white metal. An unusual piece....so fresh looking.

Speaking of old auntie pieces... I have this old ring that belonged to one of my grandmothers. Its really old style design. I'm thinking of getting the jade reset else i will never wear it out. Perhaps more modern ring or as a pendant. .. any design ideas from the jade sisters?

Thank you Annetok! If only we could. Because of this, there are only so many bangles one will end up wearing. I have a few which I almost never wear, but still love . Do you find this to be true for you as well?

I almost never wear my carved leaf jade pendant, which has a lavender Cicada carving. It feels and sounds so glassy that all I do is just look at it every once in a while. Meanwhile, my bangles Bali, Purr and Neptune get rotated every week, like children demanding equal attention

Fanof, thanks! They do look like creme caramel now that you mentioned that lol.

Annetok,great that you're wearing yours equally by rotating. I'm not sure I've seen the pendant, though I clearly remember Purr and Neptune ( at least, I think I do.) it sounds beautiful. Would love to see it, if you feel like it. Some pendants get looked at but not worn. It's wonderful too, like a treasure, or one of those holding stone jades.

I was a little silly, one of my friends wanted to try it on. I've learned my lesson, and this will probably be the smallest size I get for a long while.

Thanks [emoji4] I really love her colouring too, especially the bright green spots and I love how the silver accentuates the creamy colour.

I like the claw prongs and actual setting very much Ixora. It's a lovely style that people pay for intensionally. It's got beauty as is, but the most important thing is whether you like it.

An idea came to me. I think the design element which is most specific to a certain age is the thick band with ornamental designs. You could remove the heavier, tapered band with the designs on it, and replace it with a slimmer one with no designs . This would make it the cab seem to float on the finger more, and would make it a rather timeless, ageless design. Just throwing the idea out there in case you hadn't thought of it. It would probably cost you little, especially of you traded in the gold. and would change the look of it while keeping some of the beautiful parts of it.

Thank you ladies for taking the time to share your ideas for my ring! All lovely ideas 😊 claire's most recent one abt keeping things simple by changing the band is a great idea and good for the pocket too

Love the size and color of those amber beads, annetok! I adore Bali, too!


Here's my stack for today:

PL and Elsa. I always think PL looks whitish until I put her next to something actually whitish, then the lavender shows up more.

Annetok, Sigh...Bali is Beautiful! Such a soothing, restful green. The white is fresh like a stream running through it. The carving has a lovely plumpness, and the spacing between the lines is clear and proportioned. It's a sparkling, clear piece with a whisper inviting on into the cool green. Love it. Very pretty and unexpected with the amber.

JKP, lovely stack. Elsa is frothiness personified! Reminds me of meringue or a snow cone, or powdered sugar with ice. They both look so cool against your skin. Lovely.
