Why people wait for this bracelet to break.

A jade bangle isn't just a piece of jewelry. In Chinese tradition, it's believed to carry a special meaning. Carved from a single piece of stone, it can't be adjusted once it's made, so it has to fit over the wearer's knuckles. That's why people use soap or oil to slide it onto their wrist. Some wear it for years without taking it off, believing it stays connected to them. And if it eventually breaks, some believe it has absorbed the misfortune that was meant for its owner.
