Sending it back to UJ seems like a hassle, but I don't see myself wearing it (I'll take some pics tonight, it's at home). From the pics it looked like a princess style, but in person it's sort of flattened like a metal washer, if that makes sense? It sticks out a lot from my wrist and isn't comfortable. I just know I won't wear it.
I agree with Silver Mom. If you do not feel you would wear it then I would send it back..

Batt, that is so sweet of your friend to gift you a bangle! I do think jade gets shinier with wear which brings out the colors- it looks lovely on you!
+1 on the returning the other if you wont wear it

Uli, what a cool carved bangle. I have always wondered how they get it carved out like that. She is a beauty and cant wait until you have it in hand!

I just wanted to share my Jade necklace. If it wasn't for DG, I would have given up trying to restring it ages ago. The thread still doesn't match but it was the best match I could find. Thanks so much for the reminder DG [emoji5]

I restrung it exactly how I originally purchased it. Do you Jadies think I should put knots between every bead? The necklace is 28 inches long and pretty heavy. I may shorten it and make a matching bracelet. What do you Jadies think? IMG_1473963437.206419.jpg

It's lovely...up to you if you would prefer to leave it long or shorten it and have a bracelet too. I think both would look nice and it would depend on whether you tend to prefer longer necklaces or shorter. I'm thinking if you were to make a bracelet, your necklace would still be 21-22 inches long approx which in my mind is still "longish" so after all my rambling, my 2 cents would be to shorten the necklace and make a matching bracelet with it. :p

Wow CR, it came out beautiful - you did a fantastic job! I think the thread goes well with it adding to the glow of the beads and your pendant is stunning with its bold size and delicate carving. If you want to try it out at this length to see how it feels but if you do decide to go with a matching bracelet I think a "set" would be the way to go and adding knots in between the beads if you need the length. I am so proud of you for doing this all yourself! I am inspired :idea:

Do you ladies match your bangles to your outfits or just wear whatever bangle is calling to you? Sometimes I want to wear a bangle but I feel like it just doesn't go with what I'm wearing. My most worn bangles are probably my grey jadeite and dark, dark green (almost black) nephrite because it goes with so much. I would love to have a black jadeite bangle.
