I had one that was bigger than the rest and I kept playing with it while wondering, &#8220;Is this size a problem?&#8221; The answer to that is, &#8220;Yes, if you&#8217;re going to keep playing with it in taxis.&#8221; So, my advice is, &#8220;Don&#8217;t do that.&#8221;  I occasionally speculate on the fate of the bangle. Did someone find it and rejoice? There are a lot of skinny bangles like that, but I use a lot more gold, making them sturdier and more luxurious. I like to think that the unusual weight and sparkle made the finder realize it was a special piece. Hopefully, someone is wearing it with pride. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was cleaning a few bangles in soapy water yesterday, and when I picked up one to inspect it, inspiration struck.
