Each bracelet is hand strung and tied with care. They are made with genuine jade beads from China. Each of the beads is 10mm in diameter. In the Chinese tradition of the jade bracelet mothers wear the bracelet on their left arm everyday (usually without taking it off, as jade is very durable and will not scratch or dull). On their daughters wedding day the bracelet is then taken off and given to the daughter to be passed down from generation to generation. My bracelets are made with the Chinese tradition of the jade bracelet in mind but to be enjoyed by people of all races.
