First Princess is so ethereal-looking and pretty. :) She's very close to the "perfect" bangle.

I love the look of princess bangles. I only have one princess which is too big for me, but I didn't find it comfortable so just went with D shapes after that. After reading about so many people loving them to wear, I wonder if I'm missing something?

I hear ya about not being flexible! My right hand is definitely not as flexible as my left. Part of me thinks "someday" for making a bangle permanent on the left, but the other part of me likes being able to swap bangles and bracelets around.

Here are some photos of my first princess round... I call her First Princess, haha. Morning light through an open window. She's a little big, easy to slip on and off on either hand... I think if she had been a little smaller, I might have just stopped with her. She's a pale green and feels lovely on.

The bangle I wear on my left everyday is a slim princess. I feel sizing is so important for the look and comfort of a princess. Just a wee big and it will be clunky and not look as good in my opinion. With d shapes you can wear a bigger size without it looking as big. Just my observation. I would say that if the sizing is perfect with both, the d shape would still be slightly more comfy because of the flat interior but a princess is worth a slight decrease in comfort - they are so classic and pretty :)

Hello ladies! I hope everyone is well. I've made a few bangle purchases lately but here is one of my favorites. Shes a thick princess bangle, 12mm and 58mm wide. Her color is green/blue grey wirh specks of honey. She's made me fascinated with thick princess bangles! So comfy! Here is Granny stacked with Noel.

Hi Teagansmum! ooooh pretty pretty pretty!! I love that chubby princess with the honey dots. I've never tried wearing a chubby princess but I definitely like the look of it. Your black bangle looks amazing too - is it nephrite? And the vivid purple patches on the first bangle are tdf. Great stack indeed.

Hi 2boys!!!! Thank you! I've always preferred d-shaped bangles but now that I found the right size for me in princess, I'm addicted. I think the key to princess bangles is going up a size or two from the a d-shape. The two in the middle are actually plastic stackers.

LOL I thought it was one black bangle - I should have seen there were two and plastic to boot! - I definitely need to be careful when purchasing jade online haha!
Yes there is something extra special about a princess bangle to me. For me it's a catch 22 because I feel like a princess looks better with a snug fit and so for me I want to go smaller BUT at the same time princesses hurt more and so it's a struggle for me to find the right size to balance the look with the pain factor.

I'm at the age where it's comfort over looks. lol I can't handle the pain getting bangles over my knuckles anymore. I need a little dangle to my bangle now. lol

I'm guessing that's not the bangle in your avatar, although I really like that one too. It looks like a carved black? I'd love to see your everyday princess. :smile:

Now I'm tempted to go on the hunt for a princess my size...but I've really already bought too much jade! I must take a break, even though none of my jade is expensive. :angel:

But... :cool: I say that even as I am anxiously awaiting a black jadeite bangle to arrive from China. :panic: I don't have a black one and have always wanted one. I'm hoping it's as pretty as the picture shows! :happydance:
