Why People Wear Jade: Wisdom and Compassion

Politics throughout the world seem to be in turmoil, especially in USA.  I wish I could send every politician, the leaders and congress people, jade with soft lavender, perhaps some white "cloud" veins, and a few green veins for "yang" (deeper color).

Lavender jade color has qi energy related to the central inner meridian of the body.  The five main meridians, lung, heart, liver, kidney and spleen, are Chinese medicine body functions, and there is emotional qi included.  The inner circle meridian is related to emotions, especially wisdom and compassion. 

I listed a Burmese jadeite bangle bracelet grade A with certificate of gemology testing a few weeks ago, but was torn because I love it.  Although it's not my size, too large, I often held it while meditating.  The energy was so profound for me, and my compassion increased.  And amazingly, it would "glow" when I "returned" from meditation mode.  It didn't change color, but has a subtle inner glow.  There are several jadeite bangle bracelets with the lavender qi energy of wisdom and compassion listed.  We try to capture that "glow" when taking photos, but that just doesn't happen.  However, #8524 was photographed after holding it awhile, meditating, and some of the "glow" is visible.

There's  a more "yin" softer color "wisdom and compassion" qi energy jadeite bangle bracelet that's the "old mine" jadeite, mined around the year 2000.  BB2579 was purchase when I was shopping in China near the Burma border in 2003.  The photo doesn't show how beautiful it really is because it's been in storage a long time.  I would buy all the jade bangles I had money for, and the ability to take back to USA when I went shopping in China, and still have some from "way back" that I haven't listed.

Imagine how our world would be if our leaders, politicians, and all of us on earth had more wisdom and compassion.   Oh...then it would be "heaven".

Why Can't I Find My One Perfect Jade Bangle?

I am never without one of my jade bangle bracelets on my wrist.  Except for when I get my once a month massage.  I don't want my jade bangle to be in the way of my massage therapist.  She has worked on me for several years, knows what my body needs, and works so smoothly a hard jade bangle bracelet seems out of place. 

And of course massage changes your body.  Your muscles, tendons and qi points get a good workout.  When I came home and got cleaned up, ready to put on my jade bangle bracelet, it didn't seem to be "the right one".  I went through my collection and the one that felt "just right" was one of my favorites.  The qi energy is very yin, they symbols of bats, lotus and bamboo felt meaningful and the old, old age of it felt comforting.






Customs searching for a jade bangle often ask questions, advice and help choosing.  Some spend weeks, months, until they decide on "the perfect jade bangle bracelet".   I know they want to receive it ASAP so I ship the same day if possible by priority mail so it can be on their wrist within 2-3 days.  They usually love it, and wear it all the time.  Then, a few months later, they find another one they like.  And they ask: "why can't I find my one perfect jade bangle bracelet?"  

Because you, your body change every day.  The energy that attracts you to a certain piece of jade is because it will be helpful to you now, like "medicine".  But as you change, so do your desires for jade. 

But, yes, you certainly can wear the same jade bangle bracelet every day, all the time, if it feels right for you and you have no desire to change.

And yes, if you choose another jade bangle bracelet, you will probably find a time in your life when one you have but are not wearing will feel "just right" for you again.

Blog readers know I change my jade bangle every few weeks or months.  I have a drawer full of my personal jade bangle bracelets, but there are only 3 I wear most of the time.  The other ones I wear for certain occasions because of the color, the carving.  And those that I have in that drawer, but never wear, are the ones that sometimes get listed in Ying Yu's Jewelry Box Collection.

But....it's not easy for me to "set them free".

What Does My Jade Bangle Bracelet Mean? Dark Green and Lavender Jadeite Bangle Bracelet

Wearing jade feels so "personal", it's not just a gemstone.  And people want to know "what does my jade bangle mean".  Today I listed a new jadeite bangle bracelet that I wanted to keep for myself because of the color, the quality and the slenderness.

  
 Slender and elegant, gorgeous green and lavender Burmese jadeite bangle bracelet, genuine and natural grade A.  This is the size and dimensions of jade bangle bracelets usually saved for Chinese women, not for export to "foreigners".  Part of this jade bangle is deep green (yang) and part is light lavender (yin), balancing according to the Dao, and Chinese medicine.  Green color jade has qi energy for health of body, mind and spirit, and lavender jade for wisdom, deep connections and intuitiveness.  If you are looking for the kind of jade Chinese women cherish, this is it. Quite a few women have asked me for this slender sizing in the newer Burmese jadeite bangle bracelets with certificate of gemology testing.  It's rare to find them because most that I buy from China now are made for export, and the "best ones" are kept for local women.

You can click on the photo to get more information, and see if it's still available for purchase.

What Does Pink Jade Mean? Do You Have Blue Jade Bangle Bracelets? Natural color, of course

The search terms people use to find my jade web sites help me to understand what customers like and are looking for.  And I can check my products to make sure the search tags that relate to what customers look for are done right.

I've been seeing a lot of search terms for: "blue jade bangle bracelet", "natural real pink jade bangle", "what does pink jade mean?"


What does pink jade mean?  For one thing, it's not natural color.  Sometimes the searcher means something else, usually what is lavender color and its meaning. Jade natural colors are green, honey/brown, honey "hong" reddish color, honey/yellow, charcoal (all black is not natural), white, lavender.  Definitely not blue color. When people tell me I'm wrong about pink and blue jade are not natural colors because there are "natural blue, natural pink, jade bangles available, I decided to take a look at Etsy.  And sure enough, there are quite a few listings that state pink, blue are natural genuine jade.

Jade Heaven also has an Etsy store. I am considering closing the store because Etsy is getting like eBay, dishonest listings about jade and when I contact Etsy about it, they don't "do" anything, and tell me I'm wrong. 


The "blue jade" and "pink jade" sold on Etsy sure are pretty, but they are not natural, and probably not genuine jade.  And I'm sorry people use those descriptions to sell their "jade" because it adds to the confusion about jade.  Earning sales dishonestly at the expense of the buyer only brings bad Karma, because Etsy and eBay are in business for the $$$.

Low Prices on High Quality Jadeite Bangle Bracelets: 1 for Me, 5 for Sale

If you haven't visited Jade Heaven and checked out the Burmese jadeite bangle bracelets with certificates, you are missing really good, low prices.  In fact, some customers are asking "what's wrong with them?" when they see the price under $200.

The only thing "wrong" with them is that I have so many in inventory that I'm reluctant to purchase more.  My supplier in China is offering me beautiful jadeite bangle bracelets that are larger sizes, 60-64mm, and that size is limited.  So my selfish reason for low sale price is I love to buy jade, unpack the box and relish in touching, trying on one gorgeous jade bangle after another.

And what happens is that I find one that I love in my size range for every 5 I unpack.  To limit myself, I have a large jewelry amoire (full) and a dresser drawer (full and overflowing).  I'm also featuring some of the jade bangle bracelets I keep for myself.

The Burmese jadeite grade A bangle bracelets with certificate will be featured with sale price on Jade Heaven Sale and JadeBangleBracelets Sale pages.  The selection will rotate, so you can check back to see what's been added at low price.

Although I love all these jade bangles, I know they needs wrists to be on, to share their qi energy with your body qi energy to "glow" and look good, feel great.
