Just got back from traveling most this month in Paris. My 24/7 bangles came with me on the trip. Here are some pictures to share with you all - in front and top of Eiffel Tower and Pompidou Center. My DH thought I was crazy taking all these mod shots of my bangles. I told him it was for TPF :D

Paris! I'm so jealous:) Thanks for sharing pics. It's nice to travel with jewllery. I used to not wear my favourite pieces on vacation because I worried I may lose them but they are meant to be worn 😉
 
Wearing Calla today - I find myself drawn to lighter colors

and more delicate sizes as the weather warms.

So pretty! I feel the same way Crosso and I seem to like white and green bangles more in the hotter months.
 
Love it - such wonderful colors!

Stunning the jade quality and their prices! ;-)

I love the cloud carvings and the creamy white color!

So fun to speculate! :-)
Any updates on your white nephrite by Allan? I'm living vicariously through you! ;-)

Unfortunately no updates. Allan is so busy. I requested a wider bangle and he said he will have to use a different slab of stone ( same colour/ quality) and he was supposed to get back to me but I haven't heard back.
 
Fano, Uli and 2boys - Thank you for all your sweet comments and taking the time to look at the pictures :hugs:I still have so much unpacking, recover from jet lag and catching up on this thread.
Traveling with my jade went fine. I was more worried about getting past security with them. Thankfully it went smoothly.

Uli, prettiest celluloid bangle I have ever seen and looks lovely paired with your others. They really pull the pastels from one another quite nicely. Is the celluloid light weight?

Fano, great mod shot. I think the size is perfect and very feminine. Where did you find such a nice piece?

2boys, I can not wait to see your Allan bangle!! So exciting...please share the progress details as you get them.

Another soft feminine beauty! I know what you mean about being drawn to lighter colors and slimmer widths in warmer weather! :-)

How awesome you were in Paris! Hope you had a fabulous time and good weather! Thanks for sharing your stack pics! Are your bumpers bracelets or hair ties?
Today I wear my new bangle together with the Emerald Fleck and an Japanese celluloid bangle from the 40s.

Today stacked with my Celtic bronze bangle:

I looked up celluloid after seeing your pretty stack and read that the first celluloid invented in the late 1800's were highly flammable! Yikes! But later they changed the composition of the material and made it safe in early 1900's. By the 40's they should definitely be OK so you are safe! Whew! I've always liked your Celtic bronze bangle, too! :-)

He sources jade rough from all around the world so it may take time for some to reach him. He's a true artist and his sense of time for his pieces may not be the same as what we're use to for our work projects and deadlines as an example. I've heard he can take a long time to finish a piece so I'm just speculating here... If you have the patience, he seems to be worth it. :-)

I'm sure he is worth it and I will wait patiently in the meantime :smile1: Will keep you all posted.
