I'm trying to find my forever bangle but I'm torn on colors. What does the hive think of the two bangles below? Both are around $500usd. I wish I could see them in person before ordering online to get a feel for what speaks to me but the stores near me are like what a previous poster mentioned, either really low quality jade being passed off as grade a or big chains with hefty price tags. This will be my first bangle and I intend to wear it for a really long time. View attachment 3172643View attachment 3172644View attachment 3172645View attachment 3172646

I love the first one!!!! For me it has more personality and wow factor. That one is out of the ordinary 😊

Love your creativity with choosing names for your bangles!!! This is my everyday bangle and still has no name! Any ideas??
My other one is called confetti! 😍

Lovely bangle. Reminds me of moving water. What about "Niagra" for "thundering waters"?

It does look like churning, turquoise waters doesn't it. How about Havasu after Havasu falls?


I decided on just "Ink" for mine. Afterall, part of the reason why I wanted to wear a black bangle on my left arm was so it went with my black tattoo, so sort of fitting in that way along with looking like freshly squirted squid ink! (lol).

Oh my gosh, I was inspired by you to go check out Ultimate Jadeite's Etsy shop and I am in love with their dark bicolour bangles!! What character! I think I've been subconsciously looking for some sort of black bangle, ever since I lost a cheapo plastic thing I just used to love wearing. But I want something more meaningful and don't feel an affinity with anything like onyx.... I did look for black jade the other night but it was all way too expensive as a black bangle is like fifth on my priorities list lol. But these, I just love these!

After reading your comment I went and checked it out too, the new pieces are all very affordable princesses! Just too bad couldn't find any in my size. Beautiful dark bicolor bangles!

Yes the first one is from ultimate jadeite and the second is from JYBeautyAT. Has anyone worked with this seller? I really love the lavender shade ever side I first saw one but for some reason I was also envisioning something green for my first piece. Is that silly? Between the lavender and the one below, which would you pick? View attachment 3172675View attachment 3172676

I was gonna say go for the lavender one but this green one is nice as well! :) Maybe ask the seller for more pics of both in different lightings? The first one is gorgeous too but as some have mentioned, it's a statement piece that feels like it's more for special occasions. I'd go with a soft colour one for every day wear :)

Yes, they're very affordable. I've been staring at the eight or nine very similar ones and think I've chosen a favourite from them. They're the perfect size for me, I doubt I could get anything smaller than a 59 on. Fatty is either 60 or 61 so this would sit comfortably behind it.

Update: This marvelous piece is on its way to me now :D I think I chose the best of the bunch (in my opinion lol). There is another which has a lovely saturated black part, but on the reverse there's too much of a line between the black and grey/white area for me. So this one is mine.

Toying with the name Inky...

Can't believe I missed this post of yours. Sometimes the mobile app is so wonky it hides some posts. :( Congrats! Indeed it looks like the ink swirls you see when you drop ink into a glass of water!
