Blue-water jadeite is one of the most quietly prized varieties of jade — a translucent blue-green jadeite whose cool depth has been compared to still water. Jade itself has been treasured in Chinese tradition for millennia as a symbol of protection, harmony and long life, and the blue-water variety is traditionally associated with calm judgment and steady prosperity: clear thinking held under pressure. A blue-water jadeite bracelet is the choice of people who want jade's protective tradition without the bright green formality — understated, cool-toned and easy to wear daily, and often paired with
agarwood beads for a meditative combination.
