Your wide black is really great, JKP.I've never seen one like it before. How much larger in size do you go up when the bangle is wide?
Y'know... that's a good question that I'm not sure of the answer... I'm a lot less picky about diameter size when I stumble across carved bangles that catch my eye. This one is the widest one.. it's about 25-26mm wide, and has an interior diameter of about 60-61mm. A good fit for me is between 50-53mm, and my widest aside from this one is 51mm D shape at 16mm width.... on a good day I can wiggle it off without lotion, but much easier with... so this carved black one is super easy on/off for me even though it is wide.
Love your blacks! espceciallyo that bat! Such a great looking unique carving!
Sweet malachite! Pictures don't do malachite justice... there's just this beautiful 3D quality to them in person.
You have the best color variety in bangles and jade jewelry. love!
great great great color!Hope you are all having a good weekend! Sharing my pink lavender with you all
what a sweet bangle! love the thinness, very feminine!
Thank you!It's stunning DG! Pink lavenders are more rare and you for yourself a true beauty
Just looked back and your princess rounds are TDF....green looks more transparent while the black is bold and strong. The color and fit of them are perfect on you
Thank you...always enjoy seeing your beauties!
I never tire of seeing your pieces
Have you noticed any other of your colors that have so much change dependent on lighting?
Nope designer.....Lavender takes the cake. She is the chameleon. I wonder why that is? Sometimes lavender even looks lighter and other times darker lavender. Lighting plays a big part in how she looks. With my other colors green is green, red is red, yellow is yellow, white is white, black is black. My blue sometimes may look a little lavender however but always a blue lavender. I think lavender is definitely the mystery color. LOL This is a photo of what I mean. If you look at the blue bangle on the top of this photo, the top left of the bangle looks a bit lavender but still looks very blue where as the lavender bangle on the bottom is a very different lavender in comparison. Lavenders are very hard to figure out.I never tire of seeing your pieces

Thank you for sharing your experience in other colors. Its good to know if I should decide with a different color that its mostly "what you see is what you get" when shopping around.
I agree that lavender is a natural chameleon and oh boy, how gorgeous are your bangles! I can see what you mean with the top of the blue bangle reflecting some of the pink hues like your other. I did some research a while back and read that lavender changes color in lighting due to its ferric iron. Something how the ions interact and how the Fe is stacked can reflect differences in color. Please, anyone correct me if I am misunderstood.
Anyhow, I am sure that every color has some unique chemistry and component to reflect its color, along with texture, which can change how intense it is in certain lighting conditions. No matter, jade is one unique, complex stone that is fascinating!
Wow, that is very interesting information designer. Thanks for sharing. You are absolutely right about every color can change how intense it is in certain lighting conditions. The different colors may become more or less intense but at least with mine do not change in color. Jade is definitely fascinating and I am so glad that I was able to get the pieces that I have. Yours are absolutely lovely and I know you are thrilled too.Thank you for sharing your experience in other colors.

Cant see enough of yours and you have got some very special ones indeed! Thank you, I love what I have as each is so unique with a different energy....different story which makes it difficult to stop adopting all these pretties. Have to be very selective
Designer, I went to a jade show at Neiman Marcus, one of the stores at our local Mall and can you believe the jade bangles were selling for $70,000 $80,000 and even $90,000. These pieces were being sold by a jade artist named David Lin. I was shocked that they were so expensive. Was fun to see. Next time Mr. Lin has a jade show at Neiman Marcus I will try to take pictures of the bangles to share with you. So gorgeous.Cant see enough of yours and you have got some very special ones indeed!

Silver Mom, when you say jade at Neiman Marcus, I picture things like this..... I adore poking around NM when I'm on Oahu... Ala Moana is huge now! Were they letting folks try on things at the trunk show? Did anything come home with you?

Yes they were letting us try on things but I didn't because the prices were out of this world CRAZY!!!!!! LOL These pieces from katy Briscoe are GORGEOUS! David Lin's pieces looked kinda like these too. He had so many pieces. The next time I get an invitation to go to his trunk show I will let you know. The invitation is for a cocktail hour and you can view his pieces. These pictures are pieces of David Lin's jades. Though beautiful, the prices were out of this world. Next time you should come down and we can meet at the trunk show. Would be fun.
