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.

. . rich with the vibrance of southern Spain
These unique hand-painted Spanish ashtrays / dishes are not only useful but stunning too. They are decorated with a blaze of rich, vibrant colours, each individually hand-painted in Andalucia, along the southern shores of the country. They are handmade from the local clay of the Alpujarras and have a lovely rustic quality. What a stunning gift to give a friend or loved-one. This would make a practical gift to pass on your best wishes as well as adding a little flavour of the Mediterranean to someone's home or work place.
This sweet little dish was designed principally as an ashtray but we feel that the colours and designs are so vibrant and have such a "Mediterranean" feel, that it could easily lend itself to other uses - even for non-smokers.
Description: The ashtray measures 10x8cms (4x3"). Because they are handmade, each dish is unique and inspires that Mediterranean feeling with images of sun, sand, tapas and flamenco.
An ideal housewarming gift or present for a new home. Even if the recipient is a non-smoker, it is handy to have for guests and has several other uses (eg: as a soap dish). Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
