It is best to wear jade, which is of strong quality. Gold is too soft and silver is not hard enough. Dai Yu is a tradition of the Chinese nation. In ancient times, only nobles could wear it. To describe a man as gentle as jade is the highest compliment. Diamonds are the hardest stone, but that’s a bit much and doesn’t fit with our culture. When a woman wears jade, bracelets are the best choice. The wrist is graceful and gentle, beautiful and connotative.
