The JADE thread!

[2boys_jademommy]

Thanks so much! I have such a fascination for jade. I have another bangle on its way to me now. A white Siberian jade . This one is very thin, only 8mm wide. I will post pictures when it comes. White, honey, and snow.

What a sweet bangle Beadweaver The bangle I were most is about 8mm. I like it and it is very strong. You must be so excited! I really like the colours on it. May I ask which site it is from?

Wow fanofjade, that bangle is breathtaking. If I saw someone walk by with that on, it would be hard not to stop them and ask to look😀

Jademommy, the seller is an etsy store : 9s.jw. They are from Russia . I've sighed over white Siberian jade bangles on Allan 's Facebook , so when I saw this I jumped all over it. They are very nice to work with. I asked them to make me a matching pendant and they did it really really fast.

Jademommy, yes, I can imagine that few teens wear Jade there....almost no one wears it here inthe South West ( Santa Fe). It fits her understated style because she's not into bling bling jewelry.



Yes, my husband wears 2 bangles, one on each wrist. He wants to get a pair of Siberian greens next anniversary from Allan, and then he's going to stack! He's gotten many, many compliments from other men about his bangles...like what stone they are, where to get one, etc. with a the sleeves rolled up on a collared shirt, because Allan REALLY gets how to make a bangle look masculine, the look is very cool. The bangles were his way of trying to enjoy Jade with me since it was such a passion of mine. And, we both thought that matching bangles from the same boulder would be a very romantic and fitting anniversary gift to each other, like another take on the wedding ring. He LOVES them. You might be right, he might just be starting a trend, though we have had a few jade bangle wearing men stop by the forum in the past! I think the bangle is such an essence, a truly classical and timeless piece, that it transcends gender, age and even historical boundaries!



Before these, he used to wear a Breitling watch, and another twisted iron cuff..so, the habit was already in place lol. I've tried to get him interested in a pendant, but he will not wear a pendant. strange.

Does your husband still wear a watch stacked with the bangle?

Beautiful, beadweaver! I love how creamy they both look! Good buy and how nice they made the matching pendant for you.

Dster, he stopped wearing the watch because it was too much with the bangle. It was too big and had too many things going on. Maybe if had been a less massive design, he would have kept it on. It really competed with the bangles.

Fan, beautiful and dramatic!!

Dear PFers:
Is there a consensus on whether one should or should not wear matching jade bangles on both wrists? I have recently inherited a second jade bangle from my mom and match the first one I have. They r similar in size and shape to Beadweaver's Siberian bangle except not Siberian (they are green). I find they look ok on two wrists because they r not large. But I also read that they look like handcuffs if worn on both.
I would appreciate your opinions on this topic. Thanks in advance![emoji4]

Hi Kitty S, for me it is a question of what makes you feel good and personal style, rather than a rule. I think 2 matching bangles on each wrist can look very elegant and dramatic, though you might not want to wear that look every day or with every outfit - or you may! - wear whatever you wear with confidence and enjoyment and it will look great, I think, and if anyone else thinks different, who cares?!?😉

Hi Kitty S!


There is no consensus. I have read that if wearing 1 bangle, it should start on the left. If 2, then one on each wrist. If 3, then it is 2 on the left, 1 on the right.... and so on.

I often wear one bangle on each wrist because I wear my Smoke permanently on the right and I like the "balance". Sometimes I'll stack 2 or more on the left, even though it is "unbalanced". If I could afford a second bangle like Smoke, I would totally wear a matching one on the left.
