And speaking of loving carved jade... found something else that called to me!



My first SC purchase!



I saw her post this bangle over the weekend and the small size and different style of carving said "Push that BIN button!" :D



She is sooo light! It's very thin, but it does have a chime. Listing says "no cracks" but it does have visible stone lines. It doesn't fluoresce under UV, but I've yet to do a SG test. Once I put her on I decided I was too lazy to take her off again and pull out the scale at the moment.



I'm still mulling over names.

Love the swirls. Reminds me of a children's maypole :)
 
Some additional photos of the lavender albite. She has three 56.6 and one 50.5. Pictured are two of the 56 and the 50. I'm so unsure on size. Feel 56 will be too big and 50 won't fit. Coloring on the 56 also better. 50 at far right.
Most to least expensive left to right

Piosavsfan, just beautiful! The colors are so cool and dreamy. It reminds me. Of Elsa's ice queen gown.
Thank you! Maybe I will call it my Elsa stack! :)

Oooh nice! Where did you get the spacer from, if I may ask? Always like the idea of a spacer.
Spacer is from LOFT. They usually have cute cheap bracelets that you can use as spacers. I buy stuff when they have sales so you can get a bracelet for like $5.

From the pics the dif in colour quality doesn't see that great to me - does the smaller one have slightly less purple in it? If you are quite certain the small one will not fit then get the bigger one and hopefully it will look okay on you....:
Some people like to wear their bangle larger especially if it is not an everyday bangle.
 
NYC Princess I forgot to add that I find d shape bangles more forgiving when you don't have the right size. Princess bangles look ridiculous in my opinion when they are too big but and shape you can get away with a larger range in size. Just my opinion though.

Thanks! It does seem like the left most one has most purple (and most expensive), and more all around rather than one patch. The very small one has green on the other side which I'm not sure I want. The seller wears 51 herself and took a 56 in this batch. I might try one and can return it (have to pay shipping) if I don't like the fit. Price ranges from $980-$2100.

That's great feedback on the D vs the princess. I tried a 55 princess before and it felt ridiculously big. I do tend to wear bangles for long periods before switching though.
 

Approx $400.00 - I can't say if the difference in colour is worth $400.00 because you can even get a nice bangle for $400.00 :) what I will say is that you should pick the one that appeals most to you. If you have a preference then I do think it is worth the difference in price because otherwise you may keep thinking about it later and wishing you got the one you really like.
😊
 
I looked at the pics again and the more expensive one has more purple in it plus is it my imagination or is it a tad thicker too? Does the seller negotiate? Maybe offer him/her $1800.00 for the more vivid bangle....

Yeah unfortunately my wish list is never ending. Also eyeing an Hermes Apple Watch!!

Swoon! They all look so great. Lucky for me/my wallet they aren't princess shapes... I do like the all purples better than the small with green. I agree D shapes are more forgiving when big than princess shapes. The flat inner stays put better.

The H apple watches are so pretty! love the cuff one.
 
So these have just about the same size inner diameter, but Cat is a 10mm thick and the new one is only 5mm thick... I'm thinking of calling her Bubba. She's sort of shrimpy, Gumps was mentioned soo... shrimp, gump... I used to hostess at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company = Bubba. lol
