2. Classification of Jadeite
- Improving health
Jadeite is not only used for jewelry and feng shui items but also for health enhancement. Formed over thousands to millions of years within the earth, jadeite contains numerous trace minerals and absorbs the essence of the sun and earth.
According to science: Jadeite contains trace elements such as iron oxide which creates red color, magnesium which creates gray, and copper oxide which creates green… When wearing jade, these trace elements are absorbed through the skin, activating cells, boosting immunity, and preventing diseases.
There is a legend that Yang Guifei often wore jade to avoid heat… From ancient times, from emperors to empresses and princes, jade has been considered a priceless treasure for nurturing vitality and enhancing beauty.
Moreover, wearing jade enhances femininity in women, reflecting gentleness, grace, and harmony. Jade is yang in nature, while women are yin, so using jade helps balance yin and yang, bringing health, alertness, and good fortune.
2. Seeking peace
Jadeite helps bring stability and harmony to one’s life. The surface of jadeite is often engraved with images of two peonies in a vase. The peony is the king of flowers, symbolizing nobility and wealth, while the vase represents peace and tranquility.
Since ancient times, in times of parting, jadeite pendants were exchanged as symbols of reunion… For those who travel frequently, jadeite serves as a token of wishing safety for their family.
There are many stories in China about people who wore jadeite and fell but were not injured, with only the jadeite bracelet breaking.
3. Family harmony and prosperity
Jadeite symbolizes family harmony, prosperity, and all wishes fulfilled, with many descendants. Therefore, on the wedding day of children or relatives in China, a gift of jadeite carved with a pair of mandarin ducks or a crane is essential.
Additionally, jadeite is engraved with images of peonies, lilies, and longevity symbols to wish newlyweds a harmonious life and enduring love.
4. Driving away evil spirits
Jadeite also helps ward off evil spirits, with common engravings including Guan Yin, Buddha, Pixiu, Guan Gong, swords, and seals…
In folk beliefs, it is often said ‘men wear Guan Yin, women wear Buddha’ to wish for health and peace in life.
When ill, people often wear jadeite engraved with images of Guan Gong or Zhang Fei in hopes of a speedy recovery.
5. Career advancement
Ancient people believed that wearing jade benefits luck, health, and wealth… Hence the saying ‘Gold is valuable, but jade is priceless.’
Wearing jade over time allows it to absorb the energy field, becoming brighter, and naturally enhancing luck… Thus, jade helps the owner advance in their career and achieve many successes.
