What Kind of Jade Should I Wear During COVID Pandemic?

A customer contacted me recently, telling me about how sad she was that she could not wear her jade bangle bracelet now.  She had researched how to keep herself safe from COVID by what she wears.   And jewelry was one of the items mentioned that she should NOT wear because it can carry the virus.  

Jewelry like gold and silver probably can carry the virus because there are often edges, roughness, links, clasps.   But jade is solid.

And we jade lovers know that jade has good qi energy if it is genuine and natural.  Chinese jade has been used for centuries as Chinese medicine because of the qi that is healing, as well as the actual tool.

Most of us are attracted to certain kind of jade when we shop for it.  Sometimes it's the symbols, like pendants, and most of the time it's the color of the jade, the color patterns, that attract us.  That's because our body "knows" what kind of qi it needs to be healthy.

During this COVID time, the best kind of jade to wear is probably Chinese jade, the same kind of jade health tools are made from.  Most of this Chinese jade is green, and green is related to the liver meridian for health and healing of the body.  Chinese jade made by our jade carver in China is polished to be smooth so there are not rough areas, cracks that the virus might live in.

Another kind of jade that is healthy to wear during COVID, or when you feel you need safety, is black jade.  Ying Yu Jade has been selling deep deep green that looks black for many years.  I personally wear a "black" jade bangle on the opposite wrist of my regular jade bangle when I travel, or now when I have to go out to get groceries, go to appointments.  I always wore the "black" jade bangle when I went on cruises and never got sick.

he "River Jade" colors come from the water while the jade is being formed.  These natural colors coordinate with the five meridians:  green for liver meridian, red (or hong) for heart meridian, white for lung meridian, yellow or brownish-yellow for spleen meridian, and green for the liver meridian.  If you are attracted to one of these kind of jades, your qi will probably benefit from it.

Burmese jadeite is different from Chinese jade, but if it is genuine and natural, it is probably also safe to wear during this COVID time.

So get the best jade bangle for your qi, and enjoy wearing it safely.

Chinese Lunar New Year 2021 "Ox" - What Kind of Jade Should I Buy?

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!  Today February 12, 2021 begins the Year of the Metal Ox.  In Chinese symbols it the the Ox who represent incredible physical and emotional strength and stamina. Their accomplishments are the result of sheer determination.  This zodiac sign will not quit once they have put their mind to something.

And guess what!  I am also "Ox".   I started selling jade online since the year 2000.  I started with Chinese jade bangle bracelets, selling on ebay,  and sold out so quickly I returned to China to start working with my jade carver in Xiuyan who buys the jade directly from the jade mines and has high jade carving standards.  We introduced jade gua sha tools, rollers, made to Chinese medicine standards while also working with a Chinese doctor.  Every year I would save up every cent I could and went to China for jade shopping in the summer.  I wasn't just a "tourist", I made friends, and traveled all over China, exploring and learning more about jade each time I went.  

When you shop online at Ying Yu Jade, you will see a large selection of very unique jade: bangle bracelets, pendants, jade health tools, carvings, teapot sets and more.  Customers have been asking me "what is a good jade to buy to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year".  Any jade that appeals to you is probably a good choice.  A classic choice for New Year is the auspicious jade Money Toad.

Chinese Jade "Money Toads"

These traditional three legged "money toads" bring good luck and fortune.  Great feng shui for the office and lucky for your home.  The toads are beautifully carved and polished, and you can see the natural rough raw jade on the bottom.  These are genuine and natural, one of a kind.  They are special gifts for New Year as we;; as for business, weddings, birthdays.

I have a very large jade money toad with a "baby"  next to it and a big jade coin in its mouth.  It is in my office, facing my desk where I do most of the work.  And it has been very auspicious for me, as I have been selling jade for 20 years.  Although I have been doing well financially selling jade, I really want my customers to be happy with the jade they purchase from Ying Yu Jade.  

I love looking at, touching, my jade money toad.  Chinese jade carvings are truly awesome and look even nicer as time goes by.

2021 Chinese Lunar New Year of Metal Ox - What Kind of Jade Should I Wear?

Chinese Lunar New Year begins February 12.   This is the "Year of the Ox".  In Chinese symbols it is The Ox who represents incredible physical, mental and emotional strength and stamina! Their accomplishments are the result of sheer determination. This zodiac sign simply will not quit once they’ve put their mind to something.

This year the element of the Ox is Metal.  In Chinese Taoist thought, Metal attributes are considered to be firmness, rigidity, persistence, strength, and determination. The metal person is controlling, ambitious, forceful, and set in their ways as metal is very strong. They are self-reliant and prefer to handle their problems alone.

Chinese Lunar New Year is an auspicious time to buy and wear jade.  How do you know what kind of jade you should wear?  One of the traditional jade bangle bracelets is "Fu Lu Shou": Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity.  It is rare to find these in natural color, usually green, white and "hong" red/orange.  I have a C grade color treated fu lu shou jadeite bangle that I wear for special occasions.

There have been many customers purchasing our jade online the past few weeks.  They not only buy a new jade for themselves, but also for friends.  And I have special boxes, pouches for when they tell me they are gifts, to make them beautifully presented.  One of our customers who shopped this weekend and purchased five jade bangle bracelets told me she relaxed, had a comforting snack and beverage, then shopped Ying Yu Jade.  She said she intuitively knew the colors, style of the bangles she bought for her friends and family when she looked at the photos, not the prices, and smiled when she found "just the right one" for another person.  And she also bought a new one for herself.  The Ying Yu Jade "Deal of the Day" and Jade Heaven "Heavenly Jade Sale"  have discount coupon codes, and also the option of "Make an Offer" during this traditional Chinese holiday.

The customer also told me she practices qigong and when she shops for jade she "feels" all her meridians so she can know what color will not only be beautiful for her, but have good qi energy.  The Ox this year is the Metal element, related to the lungs.  The color is white.  

Jade is not only beautiful, but since it has qi energy, it's like wearing medicine, something healthy.

And that's why I still love jade so much and continue selling online.
