love the bats! such a great variety of color.
Jade is surprisingly sturdy. Here's a repost pic of my thin princesses: they are about 7mm. When I first got them I was sure I'd break them, but now I don't worry at all. They are strong.
Compare with First Princess, who is about 11mm
Princesses are stronger than they look because they are thicker than a d shape. Still proportion is important. My 24/7 princess is about 8 mm but doesn't look too skinny because it is only 50mm.
What is your size?
These pics are for you so you can see how the height of princesses can make them look bigger on than D-shapes.
Left to right are a 57mm D-shape (18mm wide & just under 8mm thick), a 57mm princess (just under 11mm wide), and a 54.5mm princess (just over 11mm wide).
Very helpful pics
This is why I think sizing is very important withe princesses. Too big and they really look big in the wrist. D shapes you can get away with a bigger size

Where's Smoke? The prettiest chubby princess
Where's Smoke? The prettiest chubby princess
hahaha! She's on my right wrist... it's harder to take pics left-handed, so she doesn't get as much screen time.
Oh right she is on the right
Are you able to remove smoke or is she literally a permanent bangle? I switch on my right instead.
December - that's how long I've had my everyday princess on for too. It's nice to find a bangle you feel so connected to. I don't want to change it up either. Besides I get my fix of other bangles by switching on the right. I do have a minty green skinny princess that has been neglected because my right hand is not as flexible as the left.
Same for me, opposite of you. I'm lucky that my left hand is flexy otherwise none of my smaller D shapes would get worn. Every now and then I wish I could stack more on the right, but it's not a strong enough urge to take Smoke off. She wasn't as comfy on the left as she is on the right, and it's probably better that I only have one bangle on my dominant hand since I manage to smack her on door ways at least a few times week. :shame:
More thin princess stacks... I know I stack them often enough, but I guess I haven't taken that many pictures when I do....
Here are some reposts.
Baby Princess with Elsa
Not sure if it is Lippy or Baby Princess, but stacked with PL and added Courage on top. You can really see how much bigger Courage is for me compared to PL, who is probably my smallest D shape (51mm interior, 16mm wide, 6mm thick)

Since my left is more flexible I have considered switching my everyday bangle to the right and then I can switch bangles even more easily but somehow it looks and feels better to wear her on the left. So interesting how we get these vibes from our bangles. My husband doesn't quite get it lol!
Beautiful stacks.... You and I wear similar sizeMore thin princess stacks... I know I stack them often enough, but I guess I haven't taken that many pictures when I do....

I can stack but not Jade together. The noise bothers me
And yesterday and today... nephrite greeny days.
Love these, JKP! You find the best beads!!
