Jade is said to increase body strength, energy and longevity – being worshiped for its life-extending powers. But Jade is said to have many other properties as well – depending on its colour. For example, green Jade signifies love and is believed to attract love. It is also said to increases trustworthiness and fidelity and to inspire love in one’s later years of life.
Jade makes a great jewellery gift. Indeed, it has been treasured in China as the royal gemstone since at least 3,000 BC. The ancient Chinese believed Jade was the essence of heaven and earth, and carved Jade into birds and beasts to use as items of worship. Jade was also a symbol of power, and only aristocrats could own items made from the gemstone. It was often placed in the tombs of important members of the Imperial family assuring immortality. Confucius concluded that Jade was associated with the five cardinal virtues: compassion, modesty, courage, justice, and wisdom. The Chinese even drank it at the time of death as a powerful embalming solution. Jade can be associated with the birthstone month of March. So: Jade makes the perfect present for that special event requiring extra strength.
Green Jade is the most common colour and believed to be the most calming. It has long been used to boost energy and attract love. But it comes in many other colours, each with their own properties: Black Jade is thought to be a strong protector from negative energy. Orange and Yellow Jade are said to convey the gift of inner peace, joy and happiness, and boost the wearer’s energy. Lavender Jade is said to put people in touch with their emotions, and assist in honest communication and self control. Brown Jade is said to connect people with Mother Earth and is given as a good luck housewarwarming present, or when changing jobs, because it is thought to aid adjustment to any new environment. Blue Jade is especially to bring luck to people who feel overwhelmed or under stress in their lives. White Jade is used to help in concentration, by filtering out unwanted distractions. Red Jade is used to defuse tense situations.
So Jade is a perfect present to give for many special occasions such as Retirement, or for a stressful event like a trip to the Hospital or for an Operation because, despite helping in these stressful situations, it is supposed to increase sustenance and body strength and so help to promote longevity.

It would look perfect displayed either in the home or office. The hand-painted, porcelain-like finish is simply stunning in its detail and is an intricate piece of Spanish ceramic art. Because each one is individually painted, each figurine is distinct and so no single one is exactly the same as another (so figures may differ slightly from the photos here).
Our tortoise is in fact a turtle because all tortoises are turtles - that is, they belong to the Testudine family of reptiles encased in a bony shell. And turtles are thought to be very lucky.
