before adorning wrists of elegant Chinese ladies)

Treasured jade bangles
Reassurance at the wrists
Measure of long life

Reflecting sun's rays
Green colored jades warding off
bad feng shui effects

    If only jade had those properties! (I'm afraid I'm not a believer, but jade makes for great tales.)

    Yeah, I wish stones really did contain properties like that.
