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.
