A Touch of Gold: A Yellow Jadeite Bangle for Clarity and Forward Flow

Her name is Adele Lim, a 38-year-old tea artist based in Singapore.

Adele has spent the past decade building a quiet name for herself in the world of traditional tea service—hosting private tastings, conducting mindfulness ceremonies, and curating rare leaves for collectors and clients. But over the past 18 months, something shifted.

“I’ve felt stuck,” she shared. “In work, in energy, in relationships. It’s not burnout—but it’s like I’m hitting a ceiling I can’t see.”

Born in 1985, Adele is a Wood Ox in the Chinese zodiac.

According to the Five Elements (Wu Xing) theory, her chart lacks Metal (金)—a symbol associated with clarity, decisiveness, precision, and the ability to cut through confusion or stagnation.

“When someone is missing the element of Metal,” she explained, “they may find it hard to make clear decisions, speak up, or bring things to closure. So I wanted something to support that energy—something I could wear.”

We helped her find the perfect match:

A yellow jadeite bangle with a honey-toned patch, set against a creamy white base. The stone is fine-textured and evenly colored, with a soft glow that reveals its depth under natural light.

The golden hue—often called honey shade—appears almost like sunlight suspended in stone. In jade tradition, yellow jadeite corresponds to the Metal element in the Five Elements system. It carries the energy of transformation, sharpness, and forward motion, while the creamy white body offers grounding and balance.

The color itself feels both elegant and gentle—like the slow pour of tea from a handmade clay pot.

“This isn’t just about feng shui,” Adele said. “It’s a daily reminder. To stay focused. To speak clearly. To move forward when it feels easier to stay still.”

At TATHATĀ, we believe jade isn’t just carved—it’s chosen.

Each color, each texture, each piece holds a resonance that goes far beyond ornament.
