Jade mommy, speaking of skinny princess bangles, this past summer, I saw an antique carved princess bangle that was the skinniest I'd ever seen! It was imperial green with some darker veining. It was maybe 3 mm round...a 49mm! One could barely see the carving, it was so thin. I imagine that it would look like a bright, slash of vivid green...like wearing a green hair elastic around the wrist. I never knew anyone would make a bangle so thin!😃. It was adorable though.

I know what you mean about wishing a princess were thicker. I wear my thinnest bangles leastbecause of the size. I always think that maybe my taste will change someday, so they are worth it, but then again, there's something so important about the right size...

3mm?? Wow...that would be kinda cool!!! I have never seen anything that thin??? I think mine are thin and they are 8 or 10 mm..
And I love your comparison---like wearing a green hair elastic around your wrist..
Lol 49mm?! I couldn't get that around my wrist if my life depended on it LOL!!!!!! maybe 59 mm!!!

Here are a few throwback pics that I thought were somewhat artistic. No new ones for me today, have been in bed the past two days with the worst head cold ever, now settling into my chest. Ugh. What color jade is best for energy /physical healing?

I love your spring green Jade4Me!!!!!! I love the hinged jades although I haven't found one yet... I saw one, but idk if it will fit..I know it's hinged, but idk what my "hinged" size would be?? I would love it a bit snugger if it was hinged if possible...
When it's hot tho, sometimes my bangles "stick" to me from the moisture on my skin I think?.... then I end up shaking it off and back Into place

Thank you! The pixius was a gift and I bought the round beads to string with it. The jadeite & Thai silver bracelet I made with beads I bought years ago.

Spring Green is not hinged, but only banded/braced in that one spot to cover a crack. So she's still in one piece and luckily big enough for me to easily slip on. Spoke too soon about missing the sun. Walking the dog is one way to get out of lazy slump. :-)

Wow there is a resemblance for sure:) Your summertime is more intense in colour and has more of tr bright green in it. Do you wear it much? When I bought mine the woman who is a certified gemologist said that the dots of green may spread a little and become bigger spots. Also the minty overall green may intensify a bit. I have not noticed this at all but I don't mind becaue I like it the way it is. I like mine a lot but wish it were thicker. It's a very skinny princess. I think that's also why she was not too expensive. It's around 50mm and very skinny so not much jade lol!

@2boys_jademommy---
Wow.... the green spreads???? I had no idea.... this explains why when I wore it for a few months straight, the green seemed like it was kind of taking over half of the bangle....like the green was getting bigger...I didn't know it would do that...
It also seemed like it was more clear and translucent...I could see the clouds inside the bangle a lot better.
I feel like mine is a skinny princess as well... I have.one semi chubby princess, but it's not huge...for some reason I am a fan of princess cut bangles.... I love my d-shape bangles but I feel like I love my princess bangles more and I wear them more often because they are more comfortable for me... :-)

Very casual today - trying out the new nephrite with rose quartz. Unusually for me, I am drawing a complete blank on a name for this one. Hoping one will dawn on me as I wear it.
