happy monday jadies!

It's a good thing that quartz bangle was not expensive because I'm not feeling attached to it. I wore it out yesterday to the store and around the house, but I don't have the same happiness I do with new jade. I might wind up rehoming it with a niece. The color doesn't quite suit me and it is so much lighter than a jade bangle of the same size, it kind of throws me off. The white agate bangle I have is light, but since it is opaque/white, it contrasts better with my skin tone.

Today's bangles are Super Green and Smoke, though I might trade out Super Green (white princess with bright green spot) for Elsa (white carved D)

I totally get it - sometimes jewellery just doesn't have the same appeal. You could always just wear it as a fun piece or as you mentioned, your niece may love it:) Smoke is permanently on your wrist as is my greenish bangle :heart:
 
Piosavsfan, that lavender is amazing! Fingers crossed that you can get more.
Junkenpo, bummer about the bangle. I hear you about skintone, there are some colors I love so much but just an not happy wearing because of my skintone.

My lavender in Nags Head today :)

Finally found a bangle small enough to fit me perfectly!!
I love the carved bangles and the lavender bangles you girls have been posting
Its gorgeous Redkoi01 - wow! It's like mint jelly:) I love how the colour is fairly uniform but that when you look closely there are little swirls and patches of green that is slightly darker and more vibrant. What size is this? It does fit you nicely.
 
BattahZ, is that your li'l one in the background? he looks like he could be a cousin of my DS. lol your lavender looks awesome with that water and blue skies.

And since we've been talking about surface reaching stone lines....
Here are Super Green's spot & flaw

Ohhh junkenpo that bangle is beautiful! I love the colors, and I'm really digging the rounded princess style. So pretty. Yes, that's my littlest! He just turned 2 and is a lot of fun :) This is his first time at the beach and he's loving the sand, but he won't touch the water at all. Silly baby.

Thank you so much for your comments. I am so used to wear bangles that are a bit big for me so this feels so delicate and comfortable. Here it is today with my Jade ring.
It is more comfortable when a bangle fits somewhat snugly - looks fantastic on your wrist. Your ring is tdf! Love the setting with the diamondssurroundung that gorgeous Jade. :p
 
Question for you ladies....I like the idea of a baby bangle for my 17 month old daughter, but I fear that it will break and hurt her. I asked Reiko, who made my ametrine bangle and overnight she went and asked her factory to make one! I had just asked casually if she makes them. Strange thing is that at first she cautioned against it breaking, advising on beads, but then sent me a message that she asked her factory to make one with a link. She didn't obligate me to purchase, but I was surprised how fast she was. But I don't know if I should get it. Also is $235 a lot for something that she will outgrow? I don't even know if it would fit her, as she is a skinny thing. But maybe she would pull the beads too.
