I've not seen size 15/0 seed beads in person yet. I'll order some online if my local bead shops don't have any. I'm hoping they are tiny enough to not detract much. Here's the strand with a jadeite ring. The pearls are 11mm for the middle one and graduates down to 8mm at the ends.
jade4me, would u post a closeup of that ring, please? :smile1:
 
I agree with clairejune, D-shapes will cling easier to the skin. I can push them and they'll stay in place better.

Here's today's stack on the left... no bangles today. I took them off yesterday during the shower because all the humidity and sweating is making me retain water. They just started feeling too confining.

those 2 bracelets look VERY pretty together, jkp :tup:
 
My first ever jadeite bangle from gojade! I'm so happy that I got it. It's 64mm, fits perfectly, matches everything, and was only $39. Now I'm wondering who else may sell bangles near this size because I haven't seen that many. I will need to find myself a higher quality one for my birthday or Christmas! :D

Piosavsfan, look at these beauties! ! Saw them on ultimate jadedite's Facebook pg . Sizes 62 to 63mm

Hi Jadies! Was on vacation last week, so had a lot of catching up to do!

Ixorajade, I love your auntie ring just as it is! Gorgeous color! - but then, I like a vintage look.

Claire, love seeing all your recent acquisitions. The Siberian bangles turned out just beautifully and I like Blue Velvet, too. They both have such presence - especially together. Also admired your lavender disc earrings and was so impressed with your wire wrapped necklaces. That was a lot of tedious work, but well worth it for the end result.

piosavsfan, congratulations on your first bangle! It's lovely and how lucky that you got a perfect fit on the first try!

J4Me, I had forgotten all about Moon Unit - it's such a cool bangle, you should definitely wear that one more often!

I'm sure I've missed commenting on some posts that I meant to, but it's a crazy busy day back to work and first day of school, so please forgive me (especially since my mind is still at the beach! :cool )
 
Thank you Crosso! I'm delighted that my wire wrap is liked! Welcome back:) sounds like you had a beautiful time..and getting back into life is a real transition. Now you've got the first day done, and can relax a little more.
 
Annetok, looks so elegant, sleek and modern, while incorporating the wildness of the bangle with it's dramatic color contrasts and patterns! AWESOME look, love it! The diamond ring is so sweet:) must have put a smile on your face today. A lovely gift to yourself!
