Ah you hit the nail on the head. I don't have any d shaped bangles and was worried about the durability of this flatter one since it's a. It less than 5mm thick. I was planning on wearing this very frequently.

That bangle looks perfect on your wrist, I can see why it's your favorite.
Thank you dster1
I think it's all about proportion. I finally have a calliper and this black bangle is 50.6 mm and so 10 mm width is not super slim whereas someone who wears say a 58mm bangle may find 10 mm too skinny. Plus I am soooo short - under 5 feet haha and fairly slim so I don't have much real estate on my arm lol 
The bangle you are considering will look wonderful on you in my opionion. Good luck

I love the uniqueness of these carvings! How great! That bangle and ring are beauties.
I like wide bangles in D shapes. I like the weight as long as the where the curve meets the flat part is a little bit rounded. DW has sharp corner & I worry about chipping. My PL is 16mm wide and is a 51mm. If I came across a wider bangle in a small diameter in colors I liked, I would consider going even wider. I'm a shorty (5'0") but I don't feel overwhelmed at all. I'll even stack sometimes.

Do you think the bangle I posted is too thin? It's only 4mm in depth do not a super round dome shape.
I think the bangle you posted is very pretty. Personally, I would be fine with that width and thickness. A smaller fit in a D is easier to wear, because it will stay put when pushed up and not dangle and bang around. I would say just be mindful of where your arms are at and don't wear it during scrimmage.
My wide black carved Lauhala is pretty darn thin and so is Shrimp. Here they are next to DW for scale. DW is 15mm wide and and only slighter thinner than PL.
Hi dster1 I wore my flat d abangle today. My husband has the calliper ( he uses it for work) so I don't know the depth but it's about 4 mm. The inner diameter is 52.6 so it's a bit big on me and the width is 13mm. The lighting is terrible at work but you can see in the last pic how thin in terms of depth it is.

Ah thank you for the pics! It's almost the same measurements as the one I'm considering. I think I'm going to place the order today!
Yay! Please post pictures when you get it. I just know it will look fantastic on you
That bangle, Madam, is exquisite.
just exquisite
So pretty! I think I like this thin thickness... very feminine looking!
can't wait to see pics!
Morning jadies!
I impulse purchased some vintage earrings on ebay. the clips are 1/20 12k gold filled, but still work great. They look solid dark green from a distance, but have more graining/colors up close. I have no idea what the stone actually is.. haven't louped it or put it under UV at all yet. I bet the pearls glow bright, though.

JKP, Anna from 9SJW the person that made my pendant and ear rings just contacted me to say she is opening a shop on etsy as she is no longer with 9SJW. I told her that I would let her know if anyone I knew wanted anything and I remember that you wanted to know where they were. If you will p.m. me to give me your email I will forward her email to you and you can contact her. These are the pieces she made for me.I think the bangle you posted is very pretty.
