Giving Jade as a Gift - The Beauty and Versatility of Jade Bead Bracelets

Most jade lovers cherish owning and wearing a jade bangle bracelet.  And consider giving jade bangle bracelets as a gift.  But what if you don't know what size to buy, and if the person really wants a jade bangle?

Solution: jade bead bracelet.

Jade bead bracelets are usually easy to buy and wear because they are strung on stretch material, like elastic.  Jade bead bracelets can be worn alone, or with other jewelry.  In fact, if you own a jewelry box full of jade bangle bracelets (ahhh....what a wish!) you can wear a jade bead bracelet between two jade bangle bracelets as a "spacer", so the two bangles don't clunk together and risk chipping or cracking.

If you or the person you are gifting loves Burmese jadeite, it's important to purchase only genuine and natural jadeite beads, because the natural-ness of grade A jadeite will almost guarantee that the bead bracelet will look good with any other jadeite bangle bracelet.  Our jadeite beads are mostly neutral hues of green.

These jadeite bead colors range for white with green hues to more "yang" deeper green color. They are very smoothly polished, 13mm larger size beads, so they look very good worn alone, but will look good with bangle bracelets, too.

If you are looking for jadeite bead bracelets that are very unique, the carved jadeite beads are larger and interesting.  I often wear the carved jadeite beads with the smooth ones.

If Chinese jade is the favorite jade, the green Chinese jade bead bracelets look good with classic Chinese jade bangle bracelets, the "river jade" natural color jade, black and white jade.

The "happy" calligraphy etched Chinese jade bead bracelet has been so popular it has nearly sold out since listed in November.

If the friend you are buying jade beads for is a special friend, consider buying two and keeping one so you are truly "jade sisters".

Hurricane Irma and What Kind of Jade I Should Wear to Help Body Mind and Spirit

Hurricane Irma was the biggest hurricane in history.  And the news and drama made us all terrified a week before it hit Florida.  We were so stressed out by the fear that we just wanted Irma to come in and then get the heck out of here.  Our online stores closed Friday before Irma because mail delivery stopped, and I wouldn't want to have your orders shipped with the chance of being damaged or lost due to Irma.

Irma started affecting us a couple of days before she hit us.  The air pressure was lower, leading to headaches, pains, and just not feeling very well.  On Sunday evening September 10 our power went off as the winds picked up.  Near midnight, the full force had started.  Irma made a slight turn to the west as it neared Tampa, the eye right over us here in central Florida as category 2.  I was awake, in the dark, wanting to experience it fully, and could hear the tornadoes whipping by, hoping it wouldn't damage our community too much.  Our home that had been damaged in a small tornado and hail and had to be replaced was completed less than a year ago, and we didn't think we could emotionally survive another home loss.

We were very fortunate, maybe the jade in here protected us.

The next morning we wandered around our community to check on neighbors and friends.  Power was not restored.  Winds were still high.  It was obvious where the tornadoes touched down, trees and roofing destroyed.  Our landscaping plants were very damaged, surprised it wasn't worse.

Our power and internet were restored Thursday so we were out of service almost four days.  And it was 90+ degrees during the daytime.  Hotel rooms were full, but we got lucky and were able to spend Wednesday night in a Comfort Inn.  It felt so good to take a shower, get a night's sleep.  Half of our community still doesn't have power, and Duke Energy says it won't be restored until late Sunday night.  Duke Energy can get ours on, but not go to the next section to get it all on?  Duke Energy is receiving a lot of negative publicity because other energy companies have power restored, but not here.  Traffic lights still out, stores around us without power.

I'm emotionally exhausted, and kind of like PTSD, regarding big storms and safely.

I wore my "black" Chinese jade bangle bracelet with sterling silver Hurricane bracelet until a couple of days ago.  Photos are in the previous blog posting.  My "usual" old carved jadeite bangle bracelet has calming energy, but I need jade to cheer me up and give me positive qi energy.  I didn't want to replace my "usual" jade bangle, so added a jadeite multi-color bead bracelet to it.  After my morning tai chi and yoga, I'm getting some "tingles" of positivity.

Jade qi energy is an amazing "natural" healer.  Maybe it's a placebo, but if it works, do it.
The honey-yellow in my carved jade bangle is related to spleen meridian, my stomach is more calm, and feelings of anxiety, also related to spleen meridian, are become more calm. I know I won't feel happy again until my friends and neighbors power is back on, and I have shared jade with some of them.

Jade is truly "medicine" for body, mind and spirit.
