I bet it would look perfect with sweaters and jeans - somehow I think it would work well with Fall/ Winter casual but perhaps not with shorts and tee lol
Enjoy wearing it!!

Hi ms_lb13,
Thats a really pretty colour that complements your skin tone, the bangle width looks just about right too
it sounds like a really good deal! I COMPLETELY understand how you're feeling right now as I'm a 59-60mm too and the bright green wispy / white bangle I got was sold to me as a 57mm and I happily popped it in without thinking - it took 20 mins to get it in and removing it was a totally different feat all together!
I had 3 pretty bad bruises around the "bone" and knuckle area for a few days and when I measured it, that was probably a 55.5-56mm at best [emoji26] still recovering from taking it out but I like switching arm candy too so I had to get to removing it sooner or later lol!
My new embellished jade ring. Thanks for letting me share!
Wow what a fun and bold design! It's cool that you wear it on your index finger - looks great on your hand
I like the little gem stones in the centre of the flowers.
UPDATE: Sad to report that back it goes. It's very pretty, but felt a little light to me. Even with the gold, the SG should be somewhat close to the 2.95 of nephrite. Nope. This one was 2.4, which is close to the 2.5-2.7 of onyx, considering the inclusion of gold in the bangle. I politely reported my finding to the seller and asked if he had any gemological report or jeweler appraisal that would establish it as nephrite. I offered to keep it because it is pretty, but at about half the price I paid, which was more than fair, as onyx does not command nearly the price that nice nephrite does. He immediately asked me to return, which I'm also happy to do.
We frequently discuss fake or treated jadeite on the thread, but seldom nephrite. Buyer beware, any opaque black gem can easily be misrepresented, especially when set.
Oh I'm sorry to hear this Crosso. At least the seller is willing to accept a return. Maybe he or she didn't even know. Thanks for the heads up that while nephrite is not usually treated it can be misrepresented. It's too bad this one did not check out and the seller didn't want to meet you half way on the price.
Thanks, 2boys. Live and learn. I did note that the seller offers returns within 30 days, so didn't expect a problem, but glad he was also very polite nonetheless. He may not have known - or he may be willing to take his chances with someone less educated and relist as the bangle nephrite once I return it. Not my problem, but I do like to try to protect fellow jadies. If your interest and research into jade has brought you here, I figure you should be made aware of potential issues when purchasing jade.[emoji6]
GEEZ!!! Maybe we bought from the same seller!!!!Hi ms_lb13,

that's awful.
I can only imagine that would be my fate if I try to slip it off now. it's on there. I'm chunky (not a skinny woman at all) but my wrists and arms aren't really that thick lol. this bangle makes it look like they are for sure.
in the pic...my arm looks kind of red and idk why? I do have a bit of red in my skin tone...it seems more yellowish...it was thinking maybe it was because my skin is so dry lol!!!
yes....it definitely seems that some sellers have their sizes all mixed up!!! this has never happened to me ever.
thanks for the compliments!!!
WOW!!!!
that isn't cool. can you mention the name.in the reputable sellers list as someone to be somewhat wary of???
that was a nice bangle too....but.no..onyx isn't the same....I wonder how it would wear in the long run? I saw a pretty rose quartz bangle but I am unsure of how these other bangles will fair in my day to day activities.
sorry your new bangle didn't pan out how it could have
I love the red/how eyes spots teagansmum!!!! I love chunky bangles like this....they are so sturdy. I love translucents but opaques and opaque/translucents have a very special place in my heart for sure.. .I really dig your bangle!! I'm soo jealous!!!! I love the lavender grays a bunch!!! and the name fits her perfect!!!!Hello Jadies and Happy New Year!! I haven't been on in ages due to many changes and just had my gall bladder out on Friday which has given me some time to pop on. I haven't been jade hunting in a while, but Jade4me knew I was searching for a thick chubby Princess (12mm thick) and she showed me this one. I'm so happy to announce the arrival of "Granny"! She goes from light green, to lavender blue grey with honey spots, in different lighting and feels so calming. I love how smooth she feels all round, with no rough spots. Took a while to get use to her weight, but I've been sleeping with her on and she's so comfortable. Here is a photo taken in the car..
oh and get well soon!!! gallbladder probs are no fun. I had mine out 13 yrs ago and it's weird but I love hot foods and now when I eat them the "place" where my gallbladder use to be "hurts" when I eat hot stuff (??)Hello Jadies and Happy New Year!!

it's definitely a change.
take it easy and good thoughts going your way!!
thanks Silver Mom!!
I hope your 2017 has been great so far and will continue to treat you good
I'm incredibly picky for my lavender bangle; I have something very specific in mind in terms of sizing (55 - 56), thickness (10mm+ but might also consider 9.5mm+) and colour (not too vivid, but must be "watery"). Like these for example:
Sadly, everything I've had my eye on so far has been already sold, not in my size, or $10k+
Morning jadies!
I love all the sharing and new jade on forum!
I'm wearing SG today, but have been swapping out on the left quite a bit. I also have been trying to swap out my smaller bits. I normally default to my monkey/ruyi pendant, but yesterday I wore my bigger beads choker. (not with this tank top, though). I love the weight of it.
