Is this real jade or dyed / fake?

All Yuora pieces use natural Grade A nephrite jade — untreated, undyed, and free from chemical enhancement. Each piece may show slight color variation, which is a sign of authenticity, not a defect. Perfectly uniform green color is usually a red flag for dyed jade.

Will the color fade over time?

Grade A nephrite does not fade. Many wearers notice the stone develops a deeper, richer luster over years of skin contact, often called nourishing the jade. Only dyed Grade C jade fades, which is why Yuora does not use it.

Is this nephrite or jadeite?

Yuora uses natural Hetian nephrite jade, sourced from Xinjiang, China. All product listings clearly state the jade type. If a listing says nephrite, it is nephrite.

Should I wear it on my left or right wrist?

In Chinese tradition, the left wrist is for receiving energy, luck, protection, and positive chi. The right wrist is for giving energy outward. Most people wear jade bracelets on the left for this reason, but you can wear it wherever it feels right for you.

Does it still work if I don't believe in it?

Many wearers treat jade as a daily intention reminder rather than a supernatural object. It can serve as a physical anchor to values like patience, protection, and forward momentum. You do not need to believe in feng shui for it to be meaningful or beautiful.

Can I gift this to someone not born in the Horse year?

Yes. Zodiac jade pieces can be gifted to anyone. The zodiac animal represents the qualities you are wishing upon the recipient, such as strength, ambition, and luck, not a restriction on who may wear it.

Can I shower or swim with it?

The jade itself is water-resistant, but the red cord is not. Prolonged water exposure can weaken the string fibers and may cause fraying or snapping over time. Remove before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. The jade stone can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth.

How long does the red string last?

With proper care, such as avoiding water, chemicals, and rough storage, the red cord typically lasts 12 to 18 months of daily wear. In Chinese tradition, a worn or broken string is not bad luck. The jade pendant can always be re-strung.

Will it fit my wrist / neck?

All Yuora bracelets and necklaces use adjustable sliding knot closures, fitting most wrist sizes from approximately 5 inches to 8.5 inches and neck sizes up to 20 inches. If you have a specific measurement concern, contact Yuora before ordering.
