Thanks, yes, I did string the pearls myself. I was debating on making gifts with them, decided not many around me would appreciate them for being South Sea pearls (I could use freshwater pearls for a similar look), and horded them all for myself into one necklace. I definitely had enough for a bracelet, but didn't want to try to buy more coordinating ones to make a full necklace. However, I would wear it much more as a necklace, so I added sterling silver chain to make it long enough, and the length is adjustable.
For your reference my Kiwi and Brown Sugar are about 18mm wide and 7.5mm thick. But mine are around 57mm whereas I know yours will be an oh so cute 51-52mm.
I'm impressed! You and Crosso are so creative and crafty. It is that much more special because you made the necklace yourself. Also great that the length is adjustable. Wear it with pride that you made it yourself
Ok then 7-8 mm may be the right thickness for me. I will ask for 51 -51.5 mm. I definitely don't want it smaller than 51 since it is a wider bangle. JoJo made my bangle 50 when I asked for 51 but it is fine since it is slim.
Ah! And I didn't realise your size is sooo small! For thick bangles I go to 60mm as I find 58 to 59 (my usual range) too restrictive in that width.

[emoji173]️ this necklace! I really like the mix of different tones, that has been my thing with Jade beads lately. While I do like them to match, since I've done quite a bit of that now I like the edgier kind of concept of mixing different color on the same piece.
Your necklace is very unique and your bangle is beautiful as well [emoji4]
NYC, they both look amazing on the hand. I really like both for different reasons, but I really like the original cab the best. The peony ring is beautiful and has a really organic look to it.
I love the cab more because the diamonds look amazing. I like how the NSEW diamonds are bigger and really stand out, which keeps the ring from looking like a halo. I do adore the cab more. It's magical [emoji5]️
RedPeony, I love all your pieces and congrats on the new addition. Your pendants are gorgeous and you rings are TDF [emoji173]️
Speaking of the plaque bracelet, I found another one I like for the cute bat carving, although it doesn't have the sweet pinky lavender coloring of the qilin one. Not sure what I'll do with this one yet.

I like the first cab ring best too, NYC, the color and diamond arrangement is lovely. I also really like the peony. Though it is a statement ring, it seems more every day to me because it's not as blingy. Tough choice for sure!

Thank you very much. What I love most about everyone's collection is that they are so individual and unique to each person's personality and situation.

This is so cute Crosso! I love bats! By the way, the day you announced you lost your bracelet, I lost my beaded bracelet with my little green buddha on it. I"m going crazy searching for it and feel your pain.

RedPeony, I completely agree. You get to see pieces you may not normally see because some people lives in a different countries. I also love seeing pieces that the Jadies are so passionate about. I would love to see what everyone's favorite piece is or their top 3 pieces [emoji6] Plus everyone is so nice and kind to one another [emoji5]️
NYC, LOL I was thinking the same thing. I know for me I always end up going back and buying the other piece [emoji4]
Crosso, it's beautiful! Hopefully you find your other bracelet soon, so you will have two [emoji4]
Welcome back good to hear from you [emoji253] [emoji253] so what have you been up to lately
