Hello Jadies!!!
im just chillin with my beadwork...waiting for the game.....
I did get some VERY inexpensive bangles when my husband was laid off...I found one for $10.... it's super slim and I really like that.....not thee best bangle by any means but I really like it as a everyday bangle and it's soo thin.... NOW I am on the lookout for the super slim, thin bangles--so if you see any(59/60mm) or know of a seller, PLEASE LET a jadie know!!!!!!
Take care sisters!!!
What's the thickness? I have 2 slim princesses- they're both about 7mm. When I first got them, I was so worried about them breaking... but the jade is strong, even at that thinness. I like the color on yours. Is it a local seller or an internet one?
Thanks JKP. The pattern on the slimmer one reminded me a little of your Smoke - bluish green swirlsAre you still wearing Smoke everyday?
I'm very fond of the white/flowers patterning on bangles, haha. I do wear Smoke everyday. She hasn't come off since December of 2014. I feel super comfy with her on and I haven't felt the need to take her off at all. It's nice.
The app is called snapseed. I like it so far. Lots of editing features and there are different text styles, colors, & you can adjust opacity.
Hmmm.... How flexible & fleshy is the hand you want to try? How wide is the D? If you can fit 3 fingers, knuckle to knuckle inside the diameter without squishing, the theory is that the bangle should be able to go on. Coming off might be another matter. This is why I can force PL on the right hand, but it's not ideal for me because I have such trouble getting her off again. She's 16mm wide... it's much easier to get the princesses on and off or the 12mm D.

Hi JKP, The best thing would be to call them and ask. They are very nice and helpful too. Try looking online for their phone number. The GIA is a very professional company and they are recognized all over the world. I am sure if you talk to them it will put your mind at ease. Keep us updated. You have many beautiful pieces.
Hey there 2BJM! I looked at these pictures a lot. They are both gorgie [emoji173] For me.... my choice would be the wider one. It's beautiful and I really love the little bits of honey here and there. Please let us know what you decide [emoji4]
So pretty on their own but they really look amazing together.
I get it, I agree. Normally the carvings on bangles seem more superficial,, less deeply carved. I thought those were a great balance of color and carving. I bet they're super expensive, even for carved, because of the detail and color. I was looking at her website and her stuff is gorgeous, but mostly out of my pocketbook range. hahah
Here's today's bangle, facets.
JKP, your faceted bangle is TDF! [emoji173]

MLB, your bangle is so pretty and a great buy [emoji5]. I have been on a princess kick too. I have purchased some thin ones lately and I am a bit afraid to wear them. One is only 4MM though, the other 2 are 6MM.
I saw JPK mention that her bangles are pretty durable. What is the width on yours JKP? I gotta find the text to quote her, but if you see this let me know [emoji4]
The first one is the 4MM, the second is 6MM. I don't have a photo of the third on my phone. I'm not at home.
Hmm... The slim bangle is "cleaner" because the brown spots on the wide bangle are dirt/other minerals, but I prefer the wide bangle's blue/green veins as opposed to the slim bangle's dark green. Of these I'd probably lean towards the slim, as the wide bangle looks quite heavy and I don't know how comfortable it would be to wear, plus the slim would probably be more versatile (can easily stack or wear alone).
I think a 54mm princess is equivalent to approx 56mm in D shape round, so jumping to 51mm would be quite a size difference! There's apparently a rule that if the bangle is wider than your first three knuckles, it SHOULD fit, albeit with a lot of effort/pain, and you do risk injuring yourself so I absolutely do NOT recommend forcing anything. Unfortunately palm measurement isn't that reliable, as it depends on your hand (whether it's big boned or fleshy) and how flexible it is, but if you gently squeeze your hand a few times daily, as if you were to slip on a bangle, that will help it to become a bit more flexible.
Hi Storm Spirit I agree with the cleaner look of the slimmer one but that patch is what's making me unable to decide.
I don't tend to stack but I am very short and petite so the smaller bangle probably suits me more.
Hey C Rose just wanted to let you know the princess I wear on my left everyday is probably 6 mm as well and it is very strong. The flatter d shapes are actually more fragile from what the Sales lady told me. Your new bangles are pretty - I say wear them and don't worry
