What Kind of Jade Bangle Bracelet Should I Wear? Get a Good Collection!

If you have only one jade bangle that you own and wear,  it is probably a very special, meaningful, and possibly valuable piece of jade.  But if you have only one jade bangle bracelet, maybe you wish you had more, and shop for jade bangles often.

And if you have a family member who keeps track of every dollar you spend, it can be difficult to find a good reason to have a "collection" of jade bangle bracelets.

But keep in mind:  jade is "medicine" for you.  Jade has qi energy.  And the colors of jade are related to the meridians in your body.  White = lungs.   Green = liver   Black = kidneys   Yellow = spleen.
Red or "hong" = heart.

This past week has been a very sentimental, joyous, and busy week.  We ate out often, and ate a lot more of foods we usually don't eat, but it was delicious, so of course we splurged.  Yesterday I helped a friend who manages a small boutique and had a fashion show.  I announce the the models and the outfits, and she asked me to wear a dress that was sort of tie dyed: tan blending into green blending into lavender.  I had the urge to "feel" through my jade bangle bracelet collection, and pulled out a jade bangle I had not worn for a long time.  I put it on my wrist while I was getting ready for my task, and even though I know jade is "medicine", I was surprised how much better I felt.  The leftovers I ate for lunch had upset my stomach.  The heat of the day was wearing me down.  But after about 20 minutes with this jade bangle bracelet, I felt much more energetic, and didn't have to be concerned about getting hiccups while I was announcing.

"Honey" color reddish-yellow color with qi energy for spleen and heart
A few green veins for qi energy liver (body-mind-spirit)

Reverse side of jade bangle bracelet is white, qi energy related to lung meridian
Peace, coolness, spiritual





And of course everyone thought it was gorgeous!  I am still wearing it today.

If you decide you want a "collection" of a variety of jade bangle bracelets for your "jade medicine box", let me know while you are shopping.  It can get expensive buying genuine and natural Burmese jadeite and Chinese jade.  But I want you to have a "good collection" and will give you discounts for getting yours.   There is contact email address on each of our web sites.

Get you jade bangle bracelets while you can.  Our "old mine" Burmese jadeite bangles are the best quality, have the best qi energy, and will increase in value over time because that kind of jade is rarely available now.  The jade bangle bracelet "with certificates of gemology testing" are newer jade, but eventually they will be "vintage", also.

Have fun shopping!  But have even more fun wearing jade bangle bracelets that "feel right" for you.

Gem Trade Show Update: Where's the Real Genuine Jade?

The G&LW Gem show was this weekend, and I went the first day because some of the vendors from China bring real jade they show me first before they add it to their sales.  I have learned from jade shopping in China to not buy everything at the first shopping stop because jade is stone, stone is heavy, and carrying all that jade around requires strength!  But this time as I made my "walk through" to check out everything before I started purchasing, I had a feeling there wouldn't be much good jade for sale.  Only two of the vendors had Burmese jadeite, and only beads. 

The seller I purchased from loved my jade bangle bracelet that I was wearing.  She said she'd trade me the entire inventory for it! 

My personal Burmese jade bangle bracelet I wore to gem show
Genuine natural grade A Burmese jadeite, at least 20 years old


I put the jade beads in my car, then returned to wander around the show.  Metal "singing bowls" were quite popular.  I have "old" metal singing bowls, and know how "good ones" should sound.  A few of them had the good sound and vibration, but most were "average" quality, made from one metal.
Lots of beads for sale everywhere.   Pearls seemed to be in all the bead sellers displays.  And pearl prices have increased for the real pearls, but the artificial pearls were pretty and looked real.  The vendor who was selling the "fake jade" rollers was there again.  He was selling the popular rose quartz rollers, too, and told me the price was so low because they were glass, not "real" quartz.  When I asked about his "Chinese jade" pendants, he asked me to wait a minute, then added a sign:

"Peking Glass Pendants" that are sold as "jade"


I didn't find any other jade or gemstones I wanted to purchase, so it was a short trade show for me.  I didn't even buy something special for myself, which I usually do.

Sometimes people who are looking at my jade web sites ask me why the prices are "so high".  I could sell "Peking Glass" pendants for a much lower price than "real" Chinese jade pendants.  

When you shop Ying Yu Jade, Jade Bangle Bracelets, and Jade Heaven, you get "real" jade, and you get what you pay for.  There are some jade sellers in China who are constantly looking at my jade collections and tell me they charge higher prices than I do, in China and Hong Kong.     

And if you see something jade your really like, you can contact me to make an offer, so you can "shop like you're at a jade market in China".

Jade Necklaces Calm My Spirit, Keep Me Positive and Creative

We took a short trip to Ohio and Pennsylvania last weekend.  Flight arrived Friday, went to Pittsburgh Saturday, back to Ohio for family reunion Sunday, and flew home again Monday.  I wore my deep deep green almost black Chinese jade bangle bracelet for protection on the "other" wrist, not my left wrist where I wear my all-the-time jade bangle bracelet.

Everything went smoothly, so the protection worked.  I was more concerned about getting ill because of the measles epidemic, all the germs around the airline, airport, and people we met.  No sickness, so I still believe "black" jade protects.

I had several Burmese jadeite necklaces on adjustable silk cords I intended to take and wear, but forgot.  I sure did miss them.  This one is one of my favorites.

My "Mei" Beautiful "Double Flowers" jadeite necklace on adjustable silk cord
When I go into my home office to start the work day, I put it on.  A smile comes on my face right away because it's so pretty.  It has good qi energy for keeping me calm, positive and creative.  And the white color of the flower has qi energy for compassion,  very helpful for "customer service".  Today a customer notified me that her parcel had not arrived, the USPS tracking showed it spent too many days here in Florida before being "on its way", and it would arrive, but late.  The tracking actually did not show any progress, and the customer is concerned.  I told her of our policy that if a parcel gets lost during delivery, we file a claim (but most of the time it is truly lost...forever!)  and while I file the for the insurance if lost (which there is always an excuse from USPS about why it's not covered by the insurance)  I give her a store credit so she can use what she paid for a replacement.

That's just one of the problems of small online business, losing something in shipment.  So I use the jade in the office to help keep my positive and compassionate while I work. 

Jade is not only "medicine" for the body, but also for mind and spirit.
