Jade:

- Jade, called "Yu" in China, is a family of minerals composed of Jadeite and Nephrite. Jade forms under very high pressure (over 10,000 atmospheres).
* The rarer Jadeite Jade developed during the "Qianlong Emperor" Ching Dynasty. It is a silicate of aluminum and sodium.
* Nephrite Jade is a very common magnesium lime silicate in China.
- Jadeite deposits are found in Burma, Guatemala, Japan, Russia, USA, Brazil, Canada, Kazakhstan, Italy, China and Colombia. The jadeite in this bracelet comes from the border between China and Burma.

* white: it is pure jade which represents perfection

History of Jade:

One day, one of Confucius' disciples asked him:
"Master, may I take the liberty of asking you why a good man considers jade the most precious of stones? Is it because jade is rare? »
Confucius replied:
“Jade is valuable not because it is rare, but because the quality of jade matches the virtue of a good man. It corresponds to virtues such as benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, propriety, loyalty and faithfulness and it also corresponds to the principles of the earth and the heavens. Jade is soft and pleasant, just like a gentleman's benevolence..."

A legendary stone in South and Central America, jade has embodied the power and nobility of emperors since Chinese prehistory. Several polished jade objects have indeed been found on prehistoric sites. Objects carved in this stone were brought to Europe by the Portuguese at the beginning of the 16th century and quickly became very popular. They were also compared to Aztec jade objects brought back by the Spanish conquistadors. European jewelers began to make many jade jewels, such as bracelets, necklaces, pendants, rings or earrings. The curative and spiritual virtues of this stone have forged its fame throughout the centuries and all around the world. Moreover, a Chinese saying announces: “We can estimate gold, but jade is priceless”. Jade has several symbols such as the chastity and purity of women, or the absolute power of Chinese emperors.
