We recently received a new batch of jade bracelets and so, while the pickin's are still good, I thought I'd share a little background. Jade in asian cultures is the "stone of heaven" and symbolizes love and virtue. The bracelets are meant to be worn on your left wrist, closest to your heart, for good luck, protection, and good health. The macrame work on each bracelet signifies a long life without setbacks. (We could all use a little of that, no?) I should also mention that all these colors mix in great with the olives and mustards so prevalent this fall.
(I want to thank my friend, Casey, who owns Blush next door, for allowing me to use her wrist so I could photograph a few of the more popular meanings hidden in the jewelry.)
This lotus flower symbolizes restoration and renewal. This is the perfect opportunity to point out that all the circles you see in this bracelet and all the others to come represent a full life & energy.
The leaves of this bracelet stand for knowledge and creativity.
Lacking a little romance? It should come as no surprise that the rose symbolizes love.
I love how sweet this bracelet is. Plum blossoms signify resilience and renewal.
And lastly, the drum denotes power and strength. Beauty and braun all wrapped in one.
All the bracelets featured here, plus the cache at the store, are $32. And what might possibly be their best attribute: they're adjustable!!
