Sharing my china town findings today!! All the certificates checked out good!! All 3 grade A jadeite. The carved is not a full bangle it has a very unique design.
Very unique pieces RedKoi! I like the little bits of read in the carved bangle and the design really sets it apart. The ring is very cute (love that even the and is made of Jade) and the colour on the green bangle is very bold and bright. Have fun wedding them!!
 
OMG the autospell on my phone along with my tendency to not check my posts before posting leads to many spelling errors! - In the above post I meant to say I love that even the band is made of jade. And of course I meant to say have fun wearing them - not wedding :giggle:

What do you ladies think about wide bangles on tiny wrists? I'm considering a bangle that's 16mm wide but my wrists are only around 5.5 inches in circumference. Would it be too overwhelming?

I don't own a wide bangle as my widest is only 13mm so I can't comment on comfort. I do think it looks nice. Since you already have bangles and just adding another to your collection I would get it if you like everything about it but just concerned about width. Also just my opinion but I think height has even more to do with what width looks best. If you are tall but have tiny wrists, a wide bangle would look great on you.
 
I have small wrists too. I prefer smaller bangles because the big ones really hurt and are heavy when they slip down to your wrists.

What's your ideal width? My only other bangle is only 8mm wide princess so jumping to a 16mm d shaped might be too much of a change.

Do you feel like 13mm is the sweet spot before it gets to wide? I'm 5'5" so I guess that's average height? I only have one other bangle which is a 8 mm princess. The new bangle I'm eyeing is d shaped 16mm wide. But in terms of color and inner diameter, it's perfect.

Actually believe it or not my favourite bangle dimension so far is my black Nephrite bangle. It is 10 mm. I took a quick picture just now for you. Of course it is all a matter of preference but that is mine. You're 5'5 and so I think that bangle you posted would look amazing on you. I myself would wear a wide chunky bangle but for my best size I think 10-13 mm is good.

Can I please get some opinions on this bangle? My only concern is that it might be a bit too flat. View attachment 3598957

Too bad I'm not wearing my 13 mm bangle to show you because it is very flat. The Sales lady warned me to be more careful with it. Your bangle does not look quite as flat so it should be ok. It is a matter of preference. I think this bangle you are thinking about is very pretty and has a pinkish tinge to it in some lighting. Do you like that it is flatter? I like more of a dome but again it's preference. It looks great on whoever is wearing it in the pics. Not too wide at all.
