I have been following this jade blog for quite some time and would like to share this resource here. While nothing mind-blowing, the information therein is fascinating, particularly with regards to the relation between jade and chi.
That blog (via another blog) introduced a Thailand/Singapore-based designer with a new design series in jadeite, which is an astounding fusion of jadeite with innovative designs - quite different from the gold-and-diamond/precious gemstones-based designs for higher end jadeite - more compatible with modern-chic sensibilities.
These new designs are an eye-opener, and I especially love their pendants. The bangles are also very attractive and lends a refreshing twist to what is a very old jewellery form.
Personally, I much prefer the traditional-style bangles as they are extremely durable for daily wear and you can eschew the requirement to constantly take them off in order to preserve their appearance. Still, I will have to admit that these new designs would look great as daily adornment/accesory, what with their exquisite workmanship and glittering coloured stones in precious metals. I wonder whether it is possible to do something similar for a bangle of mine?
Peace.
