Beautiful lavender bangles! When I purchased mine, I was deciding between one with more uniform color and one that was a combo of lavender and apple green...I chose the uniform...now I'm itching to get the one with apple green too!

Thanks ladies, for your kind words!

Uli - I would love to see your lavender heart pendant [emoji4]

2boys - I learned from jade sellers here that princess bangles are more difficult to carve and they use up more jade, hence the newer bangles are usually D shaped. However, as I wear mostly D shape ones, the princess lavender will take some getting used to. It's quite chubby and heavy! (I know that Junkenpo likes chubby princess rounds, lol). And I agree with u that princess rounds do look more feminine somehow.

Pirard, I was actually inspired by your beautiful lavender bangle! Lol! It's actually rare to find vivid lavender and vivid green in the same bangle, so if u can, I'd say go for it. [emoji4]

I have noticed most of the Jade bangles nowadays are d shaped. I love both. If however I could only have one bangle forever I would choose a princess. It's timeless and elegant. For me I've been drawn to more d shapes but that could also be because I see more of them. If I could be crazy and compare bangles to men I would say d shapes are like the many boyfriends one may have and a princess is the "one" for life :lol:

BNG, My jeweler Alice said that the princess bangles are usually old bangles as in the olden days they mostly made princesses. She also said that the new carvers hardly ever make princesses so you are lucky to have gotten one. By the way your new beauties are real beauties. Congrats to you. Also, I read somewhere that the princess shape is good for you because it helps to massage you at the point of contact on the wrist which contributes to better health.

I've heard and read about this too Silver Mom. I wonder if the bangle has to be really snug to reap the benefits. I wear a slim princess on the left but haven't noticed anything. I need soap and water to get it on and off but it's not extremely close to the wrist bone.
What about you Silver Mom and all the Jadies - princess or d shape if you could only have one? Princess for me or an eve so slightly flattened princess ( not sure if that technically makes it a d lol)

I like the princess a lot because it looks so elegant. Mine are looser so maybe not so much massaging going on there. I think tho when it sit higher on my arm and then slides down it does do a little massaging there. LOL But I do think they look so dainty and feminine.

Morning jadies! I do really like chubby princesses! I think 10-11mm thickness is my favorite for princesses. My SuperGreen is about 12mm and that while I love the weight of her, she seems to get banged on more often. BreadnGem, your lavender princess is so dreamy!

Hello JKP:) I like the chubby princess best too. The one I wear is not chubby so it is not my dream bangle but I love it anyway.

Welcome Maisy! That Barbara Hutton jadeite necklace is one of the most beautiful beaded necklaces out there. If I ever won the the big lottos, I would try to find something like that for sure!

Yes, I considered posting a more realistically affordable item, but I do love jade and Hutton and it's the fantasy internet so, party on!

But yes I believe it's worth more than several established nations
