chubby Princess throwbacks!
You are the ultimate princess! [emoji7]
I'm not a big princess myself but I somehow like the really fat ones. I think it looks more modern to me vs the traditional one.

I love seeing your bangle group shots! Some days I just need the princess shape even though I wear my D-shapes more often. Maybe it's because of how it rocks on the wrist like you say. One night recently I changed out of a wide D-shape into a princess before going to bed just because I had the sudden urge to wear that shape and I didn't want to fight it in case it actually affected my sleep LOL! Is jade love crazy or what?!Hi jadies!
I like all the discussion about jade size and weight. I love a nice heavy bangle and sometimes I like smaller light ones. Princesses are my fave shape because I like way they rock on the wrist and are easier to wiggle on and off.
The thicker the bangle, the heavier it is and the "taller" it will be, even when tight on the wrist. If you are someone (like me) that knocks into doorways and clips counter tops and chairs... this is something to consider.

And these are only your princesses! You have a great collection JKP! They are gorgeous especially Smoke
How long have you been into jade?I agree that the heavier the bangle it is usually thicker and therefore taller but I also find princesses can be tall. Because of their thinner shape the fit is more important for me on a princess because otherwise the gap between the bangle and wrist is very noticeable. With a d bangle the flatter it is the larger the diameter you can go because it doesn't look clunky.

Not crazy at all
For me the princess is better to wear 24/7. I find d shape bangles more modern and they have more presence. They tend to have more jade and so you see more. Princesses are a quieter beauty. More graceful and timeless. I've seen many d shape bangles that take my breath away. Princess bangles don't usually do that until you look at them for a while. Lol now I sound crazy 😛
I like the way you think!BabyDarling that's great that you are going to look for a bangle for your mom
Beautiful! And can I say Smoke looks particularly stunning here. Thank you for the eye candy, I love how the same bangles can be shared again and again and they always look different. It's like there's ten times the amount of jade in the world than there really is!Hi jadies!

Junkenpo, your collection is to die for!
Gonna sound silly but I didn't know round bangles are called "princess" shapes. I'm learning so much from everyone here! Are D-shapes the ones that are more oval in shape? Where I'm from it's mostly princess bangles that are sold in jewelry stores.
So sweet of your friend!
D shape are the bangles which are flat along the inside and domed on the outside. So if you took a slice or cross section from one it would look like a D
This is a bit of a crazy analogy but it will work (ignore the triangle shape for now). When corn snake owners (like myself) want to assess if their snake is a healthy weight, we imagine taking a slice or cross section of their body. If it would be loaf shaped (D shape) then they are, if it would be circular (princess shape) then they are overweight
Which leads me onto a question. Who else is a pet owner and what do you have? I wonder if there's any correlation between animals and jade lovers. I own 5 cats (4 moggies, 1 pedigree) and 7 corn snakes of various sizes and colours. They love pretending to be beautiful bangles!

Thanks guys! Yes my friend is very sweet to send me such a pretty bangle. A very translucent oval with fine grain and a pretty green spot for character. I nearly fainted when she told me how much it was when there was a temporary mishap with the delivery.
Nah - not crazy either! Who else can we go on and on about jade like this than with other jadies on this thread, LOL!Not crazy at all

I love cats, but am slightly allergic to them. Cats know I love them though because when I visit with cat owners their cats usually come up to me right away. I'll have to look up corn snakes!
Thank you!! I had bought in my long search for a lavender, but it's more blue lavender. I still love it but hadn't quenched my desire for a more pink purple lavender. It has a good texture with slightly deeper blue color patterns swirled around.
NYC Princess, that gift!! How lush, and I just love splotch patches of colour. They have great character. It looks so lovely and slick too. I've never touched real jade before, and I can't wait until I do!
Your fat princess is fantastic. The first picture is like, "Hi, I'm bright, I'm beautiful, just love me!" and then the second is so moody and dark and mysterious. It's the first one I've seen where I've really appreciated the uniformity of colour actually. Will that be because of the quality? What are the "stats" like if that's the right way of putting it?
Nexiv, your post made me laugh!! As I was saying above to ms Lokablue, it has a pretty good texture (my most expensive bangle by far; a leap of faith buying online), and is a light blue lavender with deeper blue swirls around. I have the certification card somewhere but if I remember right, I believe it is 53 something or 54mm and 12mm thick.
Jade is smooth and cool to the touch. I'm curious how you got interested in Jade without having seen or felt it in real life?

What an interesting job you have Nexiv!
I'm not a pet owner....my boys would love a dog and I love dogs myself but it is too much work at this time. I'm allergic to cats.

Now that I know what D shape bangles are, i definitely have seen those in stores. 
I have cats (all rescues) and dogs (pedigree). I've always loved corn snakes! They are so so so gorgeous. Never kept one before because of the feeding bit but have always admired them. I've had other exotics before (had 5 Tarantulas at one point. haha) but most have passed on.
Have you ever taken pics of your jades with your corn snakes? I'm imagining it and think it would look pretty interesting!
J4Me, this is the seller I bought the maw sit sit beads from. Will post when I get them!
