Show me your Jade bangles!!!!!

[diamondyes]

No one has told me that so I have no idea. But when I wear a D, I often see a mark of the bangle being imprinted on my arm depending on how I sleep. Definitely not more comfy!

Never happens with a round!

Is it common to sleep with Jade bangles on? Would one shower with it on too?

Yes and yes. I don’t take mine off unless I know I’ll be doing something rough in them like swimming or exercise etc. Basically if it’s not too rough, the bangle stays on. I can wear one for weeks or months without removing. Bangles should be worn tight, so it’s too much of a pain anyway to constantly remove and wear.

Some people just never ever remove their bangle.

I'm naughty and even swim in mine! Except my best three (they get babied).

The ones I've worn swimming in the sea and chlorinated pools have not changed at all.

how can something as simple as a bangle be only for older ladies ?

Thanks so much for your encouraging words

Welcome to PS!

It is true that jade bangles are typically associated with older ladies. But I also started wearing jadeite bangles in my 30s as they inexplicably makes me feel better (jade is associated with protection in the chinese culture) and I figured that ultimately I wear and enjoy jewelry for myself and not what others think.

Now in my 40’s and I’m almost always in a jade bangle nowadays. Personally I only like the round bangles, not the D shaped ones and I find rounds more comfy to wear.

Here is mine today:

Thank you so much for the warm welcome yes, in Chinese, jade is considered to be the stone of heaven. All I have are jadeites (fei cui) for now, but I also would love to have some nephrites (hetian) in the future — and other colors of jadeites for sure.

Loveee your bangle, the color is breathtaking (ps: love your ring too )

Chinese people usually don’t take it off at all — unless there is any emergency (e.g. surgery) or activities involving hard labour that may cause it to be broken. Other than that, noone takes it off, they sleep in it, shower, cook, even when use lotion, and so on.
I have a friend that never takes her bangle off, hers is in light green apple with a few dark green spots at the beginning, after 4 years of wearing it non-stop, the spots appear more and more and the green turns to be more translucent and deeper in color. It is believed that some bangles absorb the wearer’s energy and over time it triggers changes in the bangle. That’s why some people like to buy a more translucent and lighter color just to witness this kind of change.

But, please wear it in accordance to your needs, it is not a definite rule that we should never take it off, it’s just a culture that Chinese has been practicing from ancient time. I heard some people take it off before sleeping and wearing it first thing in the morning because it’s more comfy for them to sleep without it.

Hope this explain

Milky green with some grey and bright green patches bangle I just bought from Ultimate Jadeite

New inexpensive jade bracelets I got from mats_alice. Yes, I realize these aren't super watery and yes, I realize they're too big and I'm wearing them on my right wrist. I wear a watch on my left wrist and I don't want to stack a bangle on my watch.

Before I bought these I thought I was a 56mm on my right wrist, but I guess I'm not. I'll try 54mm next time. The first bracelet is a light green jadeite. I'm not sure how I feel about it; maybe I'm just not a jadeite person? I put it against white paper to show the true color. It keeps coming up as grey when I try other backgrounds:





The second bracelet is green nephrite and 55.5mm. I LOVE this one. The color is just more "me" and it glows in the sunlight, which I didn't think it would since I always associated the glow with jadeite. Again here it is against white paper to show the color, although I was able to capture how nice it looks outside:
