Jade Bracelet

Jade has a long history in China, and is note for its strength, beauty, ethereal power. The Chinese word for jade is "Yu" meaning "one who rules".  It is a Chinese culture for parents to give their daughters jade bracelets because they believe the jade bracelet will protect them from evil and disaster.

Jade bracelet is also good for one’s health because of the chemical elements it contained. When worn for long time, it will promote one’s blood circulation.

On my trip to Xi'an (November 2012), my son in law's mother bought two of  this white jade bracelet from a souvenir shop outside the Terracotta tomb and gave one to me.  I was very impressed to receive a souvenir from the one travelling together on the same trip even though it has not been unearthed from the tomb.
