It looks very pretty and I like the color, which I think would grow on me quickly, but I think size would be my big concern. I like to stack, but I do wear my big bangles a lot less often than those that fit more snugly and only The Big Jade is a size concern. With the exception of Smoke, my bangles are pretty moderately-to-low priced... at what the albite costs, I would want to know I'd wear it often.

Thanks JKP. Do your big ones fall as low on your hand as my photo above where my hand is sloped down?
Love your new bangle it's so sweet beautiful [emoji8]but it is too big and if a bangle is too big flaps around and u can possibly bang it easier then if it snugger fit less chance of movement bangle try to get it in smaller size do your self favor good luck
So you think looks too big too right? [emoji25] unfortunately it only comes in 56.6 or 50.5, whereas I usually wear 53-54.
NYC, I feel the bangle is too big. Since you wait for so long to find lavender bangle, you can try to look for it when you visit Asia. At least you can try one that fits you better.
Only Courage feels quite that big, like it's going to fall off if I shake too hard. FP and GS are "big" to me (54-55 compared to 50-53 that I like), but don't feel like they'd fall off on their own.

Yes I'm so sorry [emoji20]but yes I hate to see to flap around you will find that special one one day just be patient [emoji178]
In that last photo it does look too big. You mentioned you like to wear a bangle for at least a week or more a time and with it being that big you probably won't want to. Also you would probably always have to stack it. If it was inexpensive I would keep it since the colour is pretty but not at that price. Also not with a trip to Asia coming up.

Yea you ladies are right. It needs to go back.
It's very pretty, but your last photo shows clearly that it's too big to wear 24/7. I just tried on that 59mm I posted before (will gift it to a friend later this year) and it hangs down the same on my hand. I wouldn't like to wear longer than an evening out... My fav no soap size is 56mm.
Lavender almost always look more vibrant in photos than in real life. I'll bet anyone 2 dollars the seller's pic is unaltered.Hi Jadies! I got a new bangle but I'm not sure, seems a bit different. Though I like it, I feel like the lavender spot that I like is much lighter than the seller picture? It's cute, though. Want to get your thoughts on it
first pic is the seller's pic
It looks great on you and I like the bits in it, too. That is a very nice design and use of that type of carving!Last year I remember a few ladies bought jade love knotts and were looking for designs. I saw this and though of those days. Never thought they would make such a pretty ring!
My beautiful lavender hinged bangle is back - in pieces! Two jewelers tried to repair the hinge and now the gold is pretty mangled from their efforts and I will have to have a whole new hinge and clasp put on.:cry:
So considering Churk to redo it for me. Claire, are you happy with his work so far? Is he creating a hinge for your daughter's bangle or just banding together?
If anyone else has any good suggestions for someone to do this repair, please advise! I took it to a third well regarded custom jeweler here and they offered to try - but no guarantees they could fix it and are not accustomed to working with jade, so I'm out of options locally, I think.

Pics of my poor Lila, boo hoo!
