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 :smile1:

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 :smile1:


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! :D

Lol! Funny analogy! I have two Siberian cats. One is a long and lean triangle shape (he was the runt of his litter) and the other is definitely circular shaped!

No way! I've been eyeing probably the same beads you bought! Now I REALLY can't wait to hear about and see them! Your grey bangle looks nice!

I bought these (they accepted best offer ;)) - the 8mm mala - as they were more beads for the money and I can knot them myself. Hope they are as nice as pictured!

Thanks, jademommy! It is 57mm ID and about 18mm width. I got this from gojade last year. It's in heavy rotation in the fall/winter months ☺

What size do you normally wear in a princess and is this 57mm easy to remove for you? I'm asking because my best fit princess is 50 mm. I am looking at some d shape bangles that are about 53 mm and are 18 mm wide. Do you think that would look and feel big on me?
I do have a d bangle but not sure of the size so. Thanks Crosso...

58-59mm is more comfortable for me in a med to wide d-shaped like this. I have to wiggle a bit or use soap/water with this one sometimes. I do find it easier to go down a mm ir two in princess because there is less surface area in contact with your skin. But I have fairly large hands, so even though my wrist size is small, I can't go down lower than a 56mm even in princess.

Blurry pic, but see what I mean?
If you have small, flexible hands, you can probably go down 3-4mm from you comfortable d size.

Wow!!!! I SAW 2 that I LIKE :-)
I have never seen this seller.....I wish I had some extra ends to buy one of these, just to see what it looks like in person, how heavy it is, and so on....
I saved the seller to my profile since it seems I'm the queen buyer of jade with ebay lol....I always forget to look at etsy....they have so many pretty jades!

Thank you so much Crosso - this does help me. Perhaps 53 wont look too big on me....
I have small hands and wrist but my hands are not that flexible and my pain tolerance is really low lol!
I really like this grey bangle on you. So perfect for Fall and winter :)

I think a wide 53mm will look fine on you. I can squeeze on a 54mm princess no soap & water and I think a 57mm looks OK on me. Moon Cake, my new tan Hetian is 57.2mm.
