Gifts and favors are the norm. These 5 auspicious jade ornaments will make your friends and relatives proud.

In the past, on many important occasions, such as weddings and the birth of a child, we would give something to express our love. Nowadays, many people use red envelopes instead, because they can buy anything they want with money.

But the thought that goes into choosing a gift is impossible to replace. China is a country of etiquette and we have a phrase called “reciprocity”, which means giving gifts to each other to deepen our friendship. Jade has always been the first choice for giving gifts and expressing feelings throughout history.

When many people hear the word jadeite, the imperial green worth tens of millions comes to their mind, and they think it is top-level jewelry that they cannot afford. Indeed, good jade is priceless.

In fact, the jadeite that is used for daily wear and to express feelings can cost hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, which is within the affordable range of ordinary people. Here is a reminder that everyone should buy jadeite from a regular store with qualifications and certificates!

Today I have selected 5 kinds of jade jewelry with beautiful meanings for you. If you are not sure what to give as gifts to your relatives and friends, you can refer to these.

Maitreya Buddha

Maitreya Buddha’s big belly can accommodate everything in the world. The smiling Maitreya Buddha is one of the most popular jade jewelry and can be worn by both children and adults.

The common image of Maitreya Buddha is a monk carrying a cloth bag, traveling around with a cloth bag on his back. People believe that Maitreya Buddha has the function of blessing people with peace and good fortune, and Maitreya Buddha is a choice that will never go wrong.

Guanyin

Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Guanyin jade is also one of the classic shapes. Guanyin has 32 phases and is a symbol of compassion and wisdom in Buddhism. Guanyin holding a pure bottle is the most common shape. You can choose different Guanyin according to different wishes.

carp

Because of the meaning of "carp leaping over the dragon gate", jade works with carp themes are very popular. If you want to wish the other person a smooth career and prosperous business, you can consider giving a carp-themed gift. Because there are fish, water, and lotus leaves, the carp jade pendant will be more lively and look pleasing to the eye.

leaf

Leaves can be said to be the favorite of ladies. Different from jade with complex lines, leaf jade is simple and cute. However, depending on the thickness of the jade, it can also be made into a round and interesting shape, which will not be abrupt when matched with daily clothing. It can also be made into a complete set of earrings, necklaces, and rings.

Leaves also have beautiful meanings such as "a large family and a prosperous business" and "golden branches and jade leaves". If you want to give it to a lady, leaves are a good choice.

As one wishes

The last one is Ruyi, which is also the most classic jade shape. I give you Ruyi and wish you a happy life. There are many styles of Ruyi, which can be like rolling clouds, or incorporate elements of Chinese knots. It has a very good antique flavor and is very suitable for men, women, young and old.
