There are many styles of jade pendants, and I will mainly talk about the most common ones.

The meaning of emerald leaves

The jade leaves have broad and profound meaning because “叶” (leaf) is homophonic to “业” (industry) and “夜” (night).

1. [Because of Love] The lush green leaves have infinite vitality and vigor. They are the source of youth, hope and energy. She is like a green elf, jumping on your chest, giving you youth, hope, luck and all good things. There are no two leaves in this world that are exactly the same. Every leaf is unique, just like love, I have a special liking for you and I can only love you. It must be a very romantic thing to buy a beautiful jade leaf and give it to your loved one, telling her/him "you are my only one".

Large leaves imply “successful career (leaves)”, etc. In addition, the leaves are the root of life. Adults can wear them to pray for a successful career and prosperity; children can wear them to pray for academic progress and healthy growth.

Great success - In Chinese characters, "叶" is pronounced the same as "业", which means a successful career and continuous promotion. Wearing jade leaves can create the calm and steady image of a successful person, express a magnanimous and heroic temperament, is an affirmation of a positive attitude towards life, and can play a role in motivating and inspiring life.

Long-term efforts will eventually lead to overnight fame, which requires both hard work and luck. Is there anything more exciting in the world than becoming famous overnight?

Become famous overnight - If you cleverly combine leaves and chirping cicadas, "叶" is homophonic to "夜", and "鸣" is homophonic to "名", it means success and fame in a short period of time, which brings hope and motivation to people.
