Princess shape looks "classic" to me, not old fashioned. I like the way a chubby princess feels on best... more weighty for the width, I like how it rocks on the wrist... and when I fidget it with it, being able to hook a finger around it comfortable feels nice. I do like how D shapes can go wider and D shape does look more modern and hugs the skin better.

I am surprised that so many people now a days like the princess bangle. My jeweler told me that princess bangles were the fashion in the olden days and are not often made now. She didn't say why though and I just assumed it was because it was old fashioned. I really prefer the princess so I figured that I am just an old fashioned girl. LOL Why do you folks like the princess? Do you prefer it over the other shapes? Curious to find out why.

My jeweler tells me that princess bangles require more jade than D shaped bangles. And given the prices of jadeite nowadays..the carvers tend to cut into D shaped. Also D shaped is perceived to be more modern cut.

I've heard that as well Ixorajade. Princess cuts use more jade and more of it is "wasted" during the cutting and shaping. It also requires more skill.
My "dream collection" would probably consist of 2-3 princesses and maybe 6-8 d shape bangles - I'm just daydreaming here but while I would pick a princess if I could only have one bangle I do feel the d shapes offer more variety. They are more in abundance and so maybe that is why more d shapes catch my eye in stores and online. I feel the need to own more d shapes of different widths and colours where as a perfect princess would feel complete so to speak and so I don't need want as many. If my hubby was reading this he would lovingly roll his eyes at me. He simply can't understand why I can go on about jade lol!

View attachment 3664335 All of you lovely jadies are inspiring me to put my jade together in fashion statements rather than just hurrying to throw some jewelry on as I walk out the door, lol. ;) So here's today's ensemble.

I love your ensemble Starry Sky! The red jade really pops against the beautiful black bangle and the yellow gold is perfect.

Thank you both so much! :biggrin: It's been so fun wearing this combination today.

The red jade actually photographed a little redder than it is in real life. It's still a beautiful color, just not quite as red as it appears. :p
