After wearing jade necklace for so long, do you know the different meanings of different numbers of beads?

Jade has always been an enduring topic. Jade bracelets highlight the simplicity and elegance of a woman, while jade bracelets highlight the agility and refinement of a woman. In recent years, jade bracelets have been welcomed by more and more consumers. Today, let’s talk about the relevant knowledge about jade bracelets.

1. The meaning of color

Most of the jade bracelets commonly seen on the market are colorful. Different jade color combinations have different meanings.

To be precise, jade can have seven colors: yellow, white, green, red, purple, black and blue . These colors can appear on the same piece of jade at the same time, but this situation is too rare. The price of multi-color jade is many times higher than that of single-color. However, multi-color combinations can often be seen in jade bracelets.

Yellow + Green : Also known as "Royal Green", yellow jadeite and green emerald, is very ornamental and leaves a deep visual impact. The strong contrasting colors make people feel the royal bearing and style.

Purple + green : It is called "Spring Color", which means being successful and winning applause from everyone.

Red + green + purple : called "Fu Lu Shou Tri-Color Jade", it symbolizes blessing, high position and longevity, and includes the three best fortunes in life.

Red + green + purple + white (or yellow) : "Fu Lu Shou Xi", which means not only high official position and generous salary, happiness and longevity, but also joy and good luck every day.

Red + green + purple + white + yellow : "Five blessings coming to the door", good fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness and fortune are all available, expressing people's beautiful vision of a happy life.

2. Know how to choose: "color, transparency, uniformity, shape, knocking, and reflection"

Color : When buying jade bracelets, no matter what color you like, the jade color must be bright, white when it should be white, green when it should be green. The value of jade bracelets with mottled colors or dark and yellowish colors will be greatly reduced.

If it is a multi-colored jade bracelet, you must pay attention to matching it according to the colors above to wear it beautifully and with good meaning. For example, for tri-color jade, it is appropriate for the three colors to each occupy 1/3, or green to occupy 3/5, and red and purple to each occupy 1/5, which is also very beautiful.

Transparency : Transparency is one of the identification standards of jade bracelets. Jade bracelets with high transparency are naturally high-quality jades, and the corresponding price is high; translucent and opaque jades are intermediate jades and ordinary jades. Jade bracelets are better when they are transparent and green.

Uniform : Uniform has two meanings. One is that the color of jade beads should be uniform, and the other is that the size of the beads should be uniform. Only jade bracelets with uniform color, neat beads, consistent size and overall harmony are valuable.

Shape : The shape is determined by the carving first. The better the carving and the better the meaning, the higher the value. The second is the diameter of the jade beads. If they are used for wearing, small beads are fine, but if you want to collect them, Consultant Zhao recommends choosing large beads. For jade of the same water quality, larger beads will inevitably be more valuable.

Knock : When purchasing jade, be sure to knock it gently. Natural jade will make a powerful and crisp sound when tapped, while the sound of B-grade or B+C-grade jade will be dull. This can be used to identify the authenticity of jade.

Light : When necessary, use a special flashlight to help you find black spots, blemishes, etc. that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

3. Meaning of the number of beads

48 beads : symbolize a stable life, steady steps, and rising step by step, with victory in stability.

36 beads : refers to the three feelings (suffering, happiness, and detachment) and three kinds (good, bad, and neutral) of the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness), which means to eliminate the 36 troubles in life and gain great freedom from the world; in folk culture, it means six good fortunes (ruler righteousness, ministers’ conduct, father’s kindness, son’s filial piety, elder brother’s friendship, younger brother’s respectfulness, known as the six good fortunes), "six" and "liu" are homophones, so "shun liu" and "shun liu" can be linked together.

27 beads : In Buddhism, they represent the 27 saints who have attained enlightenment in Theravada Buddhism; in folk culture, they represent the longevity of the three elements, namely the longevity of heaven, earth and man.

18 beads : "Eighteen seeds" refer to the "Eighteen realms", namely six roots, six dusts, and six consciousnesses. According to folklore, wearing 18 beads can gain the protection of the 18 Arhats. In addition, "18" means "to get rich", which is a good start for getting rich and reflects people's desire to get rich.

14 beads : refers to the 14 kinds of meaningless merits that Guanyin Bodhisattva bestows on sentient beings in the six realms to protect their safety.

13 : 13 is an auspicious number in Buddhism, representing the perfection of merit.

8 beads : symbolize “benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, purity, courtesy, loyalty and trustworthiness” the 8 qualities a gentleman should have; “8” is a homophone for “fa” (meaning to get rich), which also means to get started, to strive and to soar high.

Compared with bracelets, jade beads are more flexible and changeable in shape, and are not easy to be bumped and worn. It is also a good choice. If you like jade, you may wish to try it.
