Thanks JKP. The pattern on the slimmer one reminded me a little of your Smoke - bluish green swirls
Are you still wearing Smoke everyday?

those are both achingly beautiful!!!! UJ always has some pretties!!!!.Couple more pics.... Thanks again
I would take them both but if I had too....idk? I am in love with slims now....but I love a chunky bangle as well to mix things up!!! that a hard one....
I love the pinky/lavender in the thinner bangle tho....
can't wait to see what you chose!!!!
I know they both have some pluses. For me the pale pink side of the slimmer one is better than the whitish side of the wider bangle but the bluish green patch on bigger one is better than the blue swirly side on the slim one. It's fun to shop and dream... will let you know if I get anything.
love your chubby Princess Junkenpo!! I just love that cut..... it's very comfy for me... you have some real treasures there!!!!morning jadies!
It's raining on my side of the island and "cold" for here. lol My new phone doesn't have a built in brush for text, so I downloaded the snapseed app and giving it a try out.
Here's FP, natural light, near a window.
and I love the app....you can write your own text on it??? what is the app called?? I need one for my beadwork....so I can watermark it and put prices on the ones that are for sale/nfs(not for sale) and such
Jadies, I need some sizing help! There's this d shaped bangle that I love but the size is 51mm. I only have one other bangle that's 54mm princess that I can slip on easily without soap. Do you think i will be able to squeeze it on with soap? I prefer to have a tighter fit but want to be realistic about whether or not it's possible.
If it help, the widest part of my palm is 70mm and the distance between the middle of my first knuckle and pinky knuckle is 55mm.
Any feedback would be appreciated!

I know what you mean!!!
I have bangles like that....LOL!!...where one side is just, Tha Bomb.com and the other side is just so-so......i love all my bangles but I really want one that's all perfect on both sides lol!!!!
I really like that thinner one with the pictures know patch....it is soo pretty!! but I REALLY love the thick one...the green and the color is nice and even....I would have a hard time trying to pick!!!!
let us know if you do!! I'm just enjoying the pics!!!
ooh those D-shaped ones always seem to fit a it more snug.... I know with a princess cut bangle I can go down a couple more sizes with no problems but I can't do that with a D-shapes...
I would think if your reg size is a 54mm....that a 51mm would be kinda pushing it.
I just did that to myself on accident lol!!!! I got a D-shaped bangle that was suppose to be a 60mm BUT it turned out to be a 57mm, I tried it on and it knew it was the wrong size but I wanted to try and see if I could. well it went on alright, but I don't think it's coming off. I emailed the seller and told them they sent me a wrong size....they told me it was a 57, and I could get a refund but it's already on.....I think it MIGHT BE my forever bangle now, and I sure didnt mean for it to be!!!!
Sizing can be very tricky. Let's start with princess vs d shapes. I think most Jadies say they can go smaller with a princess and so following that logic the 51mm d shape may be too small for you if your princess size is 54 mm. BUT you say that the 54 mm can go on and off without soap so that means you can go at least 2 mm smaller with soap if not more. would you be able to return the bangle if it does not fit? How wide is the bangle? Wide d shapes will be more difficult to slip on.
Good luck!
The d shaped bangle is about 9mm wide but yes, I'm worried that I'm cutting it close and the seller doesn't accept refunds. [emoji17]
9 mm is fairly slim. Your 54 mm princess - how easily does it slip on without soap? Again most Jadies say princess bangles are easier to get on but for me they are more painful. It's a tough call. Sounds like you really like the bangle and it's too bad the seller does not accept refunds. Maybe ask if they can make an exception? Is the bangle expensive?...you don't have to answer this but it is something to consider if you are going to take a risk. My guess is that you can go 3 mm smaller with soap or olive oil but please please please do not listen to me
You have to decide for yourself. Let us know what you decide.9 mm is fairly slim. Your 54 mm princess - how easily does it slip on without soap?

It slips on within seconds with some friction against the bottom bone where my thumb is. I guess I'll have to email them and ask about the return policy. It's not crazy expensive but not cheap either. Thanks for your input!
I would recognise UJ's shots as the background is signature
just my two cents worth, to me the slim lavender/green is pretty in the first pic where the pink lav is showing, but once it turns to the other side it seems less vibrant (though with green-specks).. The wide one on the other hand looks lovely with the dark green splash in the first and yes definitely pristinely white all around (although with a couple of small inclusions which shouldnt matter much!).. I've never seen such a wide one before though, is it at least 2cm in width? It probably has to be a couple of mm bigger in inner diameter to accommodate for the width.. I have a bangle around 2cm width and that is around 3mm larger in diameter than my usual size... just something to think about. I do like this piece better though!

I agree with you. I am not too sure about the green side of the slim one. Part of the green side is nice but there is a "duller" looking section at least from the pics. As for the wider one I don't think the inclusion will affect durability but hopefully not too noticeable. The width is just over 18 mm. Thank you for reminding me about the width impacting the fit. This one is about 1 mm bigger than my "best" size but I think I should be able to slip in on fairly easily with soap.
