Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why don't all the discounts
show in the total when I check out?
A: Ying Yu Jade is a small and personal business, with a lot of flexibility
for customer requests. Some free shipping offers and other discounts are
deducted and refunded after your order has been processed. Be sure to
include a note in the comments box on the order form for any special discount
you are entitled to.
Q: How do I know how much
shipping is charged?
A: Shopping cart orders automatically calculate the shipping and insurance.
You can check out the Policies. You order is
shipped by weight, and at my discretion USPS Priority Mail or UPS. This
is especially true for international orders. A receipt will be included
with your order. Some orders may have discounted shipping which will be
processed individually.

Q: Will I get the exact
item I order?

health instruments, necklaces are all a little different, but not significantly
different.
Q: What's the different
between Chinese jade and Burmese jadeite?
A: There are links to this information on the home page. Chinese
jade is indigenous to China.
Burmese jadeite comes from Burma and is generally carved in China.

Q: Why is Ying Yu Jade so
inexpensive?
A: I buy the jade myself. When I don't personally buy it, my supplier
purchases it directly from the carver. In fact, most of the time he buys
the rough jade and then asks the carver to make the jade pieces to my
specifications. This saves us a tremendous amount of expense and I can
pass the savings on to you.
Q: How do I know I can trust
purchasing at Ying Yu Jade?

Q: Why do some of the jade
descriptions include an energy description?
A: Jade is very compatible with body "qi" energy and it is traditional
to wear jade for health and healing. In fact, that's how Ying Yu Jade
got started. While learning Chinese medicine, jade health tools like
rollers, gua sha tool, and ben wa balls were discovered, and we had
some of these made exclusively for YYJ. Kathleen is a Reiki Master and
Qi Healer, and wears and sells only good quality jade with positive healthy
energy. She will infuse your jade piece with qi upon request prior to
shipping. Visit calmspirit.net for
more information about Chinese wellness and body qi.
Q: Why do we need a "jade
wardrobe"?
A: If you wear jade for health
and feng shui, you want to have the right kind of jade energy for each
season and for your body condition. The Calm
Spirit/Ying Yu Jade monthly newsletter includes Chinese wellness information
for each month and recommends the best energy jade to wear.
Q: What are the health benefits
of wearing a jade bangle all the time?
A: A jade bangle stimulates the acupressure points around your wrist which
increase your immunity and improve health. When you wear a jade bangle
every day the qi from the jade and your body flow into each other and
become very powerful energy. In fact, you might not want other people
to touch your jade because it becomes very personal as your qi exchanges.
Q: I read that jade protects
the wearer. Is this true?
A: Chinese people have believed that jade does protect the person who
wears it. It is believed that when your jade gets a crack in it, that's
a time when the jade protected you. Jade protects from danger to your
physical body, as well as your mind and spirit. A Chinese woman told me
about wearing a chicken blood red jade
bangle when she was seriously ill, and while she was in the hospital her
jade bangle cracked and broke and she immediately started getting better.
Q: Does jade ever have bad
energy?
A: If you are going through a dangerous, unhealthy or stressful time,
your jade may get full of negative energy. You might feel it all of sudden
becoming uncomfortable, or you have an urge to remove it. Or if you receive
a new jade bangle, or a jade piece previously owned, you might think it's
beautiful but feel reluctant to wear it. You can energetically clean your
jade by washing it wil mild soap and water and soaking it for a few hours
in a bowl of water placed in natural light (never direct sunlight). Then
dry it with a soft cloth, and if it looks dull, spray some furniture wax
on it an polish with a soft cloth. If you wear your jade all the time,
it cleans away negative energy when you bathe.
