Show me your Jade bangles!!!!!

[mellowyellowgirl]

I haven't see the Insta bangle lady, I'm not surprised, there are a lot of Asian ladies with bird-like bone structure.
Yeah my oval Is not that small 55.5 x 48, the short side really makes it difficult to put on.
I was going to say I saw a really nice full minty green/blue bangle， 糯化, small amount of 棉 (lighter toned than Tiffany blue), but then I saw the price, it's not cheap, like 8k.

Colour is so expensive!!!! Any kind of good colour costs the earth!!!

Yeap. Now I want a coloured one with a decent base, not a full colour, costs too much, and a 种水 bangle...
I bought one, had decent base but too much grey, doesn't look attractive in a lot of lighting, returned it.

Oh did you get any pictures? Would love to see it regardless.

Yeap will post after the seller receives it and I receive my refund hehe. At least now I know a bit more on what to watch out for.

I love ovals. They fit me well.

I like that there is no huge gap between the wrist and the bangle.

Is an oval less accident prone ?

Darn. Suddenly had a mental image of myself as a big bird

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Very pleased with this one. Although less pleased about the first one since I probably got over paid.

My phone makes greens go aqua so it is more minty green than the slight aqua you see here.

Love the color @mellowyellowgirl and looks like a beautiful snug fit too. Now hide your wallet before more pretties entice you...haha

53-52 from now on! I see the error of my ways running around in giant 55s

@Daisys and Diamonds , I like that the oval does not have a gap. The picture below shows a gap between the wrist and the bangle. It is a round bangle. I love the ovals for this reason. That's a 52, by the way. It is a bit on the big side for me. I don't have any jewellery with me at the moment, else I would have shown you how well the oval sits for me. It's a personal preference. All in the vault in the bank since we are moving places and in transit with locations.

Omg…

@ChaiK you have a lot of great value choices, such tiny wrist and hand.

[icy_jade]

Erm. 10k isn’t cheap right

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

No! Nooooo it is not!!!

Just in case anyone thinks I thought it was cheap!!!!

I just meant that colour is so expensive, even opaque colour costs the earth.

 

[Lovinggems]

Also photo is taken under lights, who knows what it looks like under normal condition. It's a big bangle though.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@Lovinggems were the photos you were given representive of the colour? Or were they way off base?

 

[Silvermom]

No! Nooooo it is not!!!

Yes, the color is beautiful!

Has anyone bought from this person? If so, are her photos representative of the irl jade? Looks like her things are lovely.

 

[Lovinggems]

@Lovinggems were the photos you were given representive of the colour? Or were they way off base?

Most weren't they were taken under lights, hence my comments. The one that's closest to the colour is a video but didn't see that much grey, it was more light green and less khaki.

Not my size! Too small

 

[Sparkles88]

My cheap and cheerful bangle has arrived. I love the thicker style and hefty weight on my wrist. It was sold as authentic Natural Burmese jadeite and I think the colour was represented well on the photos. It took just under a month to arrive from Thailand and was well packaged. Is this classified as bean quality?? Do you think it’s grade A untreated? I only paid approx $55 Au so I wasn’t expecting too much, but I like it

Is this one finer texture? The other one is rather thick though so more material.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Much finer.

To be fair the other one was grainy but the grain was icy grain. And yes it was thicker by 1mm each way (10mm by 10 mm instead of 9 by 9)

@Sparkles88 yes I think it's likely it's untreated. I think the more green it is, the more the price jumps but not everything that's A grade is super expensive. A vendor used to send me Jade freebies back in the day so I think they can source things for lower prices too.

Thick looks great on you!!! Time for more fatty bangles!!!! =p

Funny I was just about to tag you to ask you about your bangle. What size did you opt for?

Hi @mellowyellowgirl it’s a 54mm. I bought the same size you gifted me to be sure it would fit me, but I’m wondering if I could fit a smaller size. This one has a flat inside edge, is that a princess cut? Rather than the round inner edge. I might be getting better at removing them now as it slipped on much easier than the other bangle.

You can do a 53!!! Or even a 52!

So I've been told (and I've also tested it out) that princess bangles feel bigger than D shape bangles.

The one I gifted you is princess and this one is D shaped.

So the princess one should be bigger. Unless I remembered wrong and it's actually a 53mm. Hmmm let me try to dig for paperwork over that next few days.

I got two new bangles! These two really satisfy my green itch and icy lavender itch.
