A Sweet Gift of Gratitude: Lavender Jade for a Friend Who Changed Everything

Her name is Isabelle Wong, a dessert shop owner based in Melbourne, Australia.

“For years, my shop was just… surviving,” she told us with a warm smile.

“Business was okay, but not exciting. I was running out of ideas, out of steam.”

Then her best friend Chloe stepped in.

With a background in branding and a passion for storytelling, Chloe began helping Isabelle with everything—from reworking the store layout to launching an Instagram strategy.

“She saw what I couldn’t. She believed in the shop more than I did,” Isabelle said.

Today, the once-quiet dessert bar has become a local favorite, known for its seasonal menus, aesthetic cakes, and a little purple sign that says “Good things are made with heart.”

Next month, Chloe is turning 30.

Isabelle reached out to us with a specific request:

“I want to gift her a lavender jadeite bangle. Something with warmth, meaning, and memory. My budget is around $2,750 USD.”

We selected a piece of high-grade lavender jadeite—subtle in hue, but radiant under light. The bangle has an icy translucency that glows softly in motion, like early morning mist touched with violet.

Lavender jade is said to carry the energy of emotional balance, healing, and deep connection. In Chinese culture, it is often linked to grace, inner strength, and the kind of quiet loyalty that sustains friendships through time.

“It’s not just a gift,” Isabelle said. “It’s a thank you for changing my life.”

At TATHATĀ, we believe every piece of jade tells a story.

If you’re searching for something to honor a friend, a moment, or a chapter of change—

we’d be honored to craft it with you.
