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.

Hi NYCP! This is just my opinion but if I had a daughter I would perhaps get her a bangle but it would be jadeite. For $235.00 you could get a decent baby jade bangle and this way it can be a keepsake when she outgrows it. It is more traditional. To me Ametrine is more of a gorgeous fashion piece without the cultural significance attached to it. Now if she were a teenager, I would let her choose the type of bangle she wants. Let us know what you decide and again, this is only what I would do:)

These are both pretty bangles too but I know you are a huge lavender fan and so I'm thinking if you get this for your daughter you may still be on the lookout for a lavender one kwim? They are very nice though but just depends what you want and to be honest she will outgrow it in a few years. Actually how long would it take - their little hands grow but they also lose that pudgy baby fat lol!

Ha you know me well!! I was thinking of what you said about the traditional part. Although I don't own a traditional green myself...closest is Allan's galaxy nephrite. SilverMom's jeweler's daughter who is also a jeweler (the one I got hello kitty from) says she may have enough lavender for a baby bangle. Fingers crossed.

Also she never had much pudge! Already has skinny wrists. At 17 months, she's still under 19 pounds.

Silver Moms jeweller makes beautiful jewellery so I'm sure she will make a special one for your daughter. Aww she sounds teeny and I'm sure she is super cute:smile: I say go for the baby lavender :p

OMG she is beautiful and super duper cute! She is very dainty looking but healthy and very girly so a little lavender bangle will be perfect on her! You must be one proud mama:)
