Jade is regarded as a symbol of the beautiful and precious, embodying the virtues of Confucius: courage, compassion, modesty, wisdom and justice.

Chinese parents often give a jade bracelet as a gift to their daughters as a symbol of their love and protection. For Chinese people, jade is understood as a symbol that represents the virtues of compassion, courage, justice, wisdom, and modesty.

Jade is a stone that is sought after for its luminous quality and luster. In many historic texts the best quality jade is described as having a "greasy" smooth quality. The sound and ring a piece of jade makes when tapped is also an indication of quality. A higher pitched ring means it is a higher grade or quality.  The rarer examples of jade that have colors such as "spinach" green mixed with cloud-like whites are reminiscent of nature and traditional Chinese paintings. The best quality jade is cool to the touch when first picked up, often described as an ice-cold touch.

Jade crystals have been found to balance the body's natural energy flow and help with emotional well-being, which will help create a more calm environment for the wearer. They also promote balance and stability. If you are interested in learning more about these benefits or how jade crystals work, please read below!
