A Serious Discussion
I realize some people will never be on board with the way those of us who have had success with Alex' products stick by their value, and input from those individuals is not needed in this thread. I have never been very good at inventing something out of nothing, however innovation has long been a talent of mine, and one I try to apply whenever I can make something better. I initially started with the rings and braces by using stronger magnets, although I believe the general principles can be taken further for added benefits. Jade has long been believed to be of benefit to people. Anyone who wears jade jewelry or eats with jade chopsticks on a regular basis can attest to this through their own empirical evidence. I have empirically concluded these benefits are the result of direct contact with jade. I therefore submit that rings and footbraces would be more effective if they used jade as their base instead of plastic. If I had the slightest skill in working with jade I would build a pair of rings and braces myself to test the theory, but I do not. All constructive feedback on how conceivable it would be to work jade into rings or braces and someone who might be willing or able to construct them for a reasonable fee would be appreciated.

how could you manage to make them adjustable if in jade?

They wouldn't be adjustable. I was hoping either someone here by coincidence would have some skill with working with jade or would send me to someone who would build them for a fee. In a production environment standard ring sizes are sufficient for more people and I would assume they would be made that way. At this point I'm looking to have a prototype made so I can find out if it would any extra benefit.

I have a Jade Bracelet, are you saying that just by wearing a jade bracelet could enhance the rings ?

I have often thought that Alex should have a line of designer type jewelry rings that are fashionable. That one can wear all day. Attractive and subtle. Like with silver or gold or Jade. Whatever.

if they don't work like the magnets with polarities and all why bother spending much money when you could just buy comfortable jade jewelry?

I think a few of you are missing the point of what I'm saying here. I'm not saying to use a jade mala or bracelet while wearing the rings, although you would still gain a benefit from doing so. I'm saying to take the same design that Alex has perfected for easy use of braces and rings, and instead of building it out of plastic, which I am 99.99999999% sure does absolutely nothing positive for you from a metaphysical standpoint, and build them out of jade, which I am absolutely sure does have a metaphysical benefit. Jade is relatively inexpensive (especially in bulk) so it wouldn't cost THAT much to make. I have enough faith in the idea to be the ginea pig myself, I would just need to find someone who could work with jade to make the rings and braces. I don't really care what it looks like, so long as it is functonal. I was hoping by coincidence someone here would have the know how to work with jade to make this happen, because if given the choice I would rather pay for the work of someone here than some random custom jewerly store. Which of course assumes that this isn't "above their pay grade" since custom jewlry usually means stringing a few beads together and crimping a string.

oh I don't know anybody right now, but Jade doesn't have polarities right, so if you just wore a bunch of jade at night it would have the same effect wouldn't it not need to be on your pinkies? Maybe I'll try wearing jade jewelry one of these nights that I can borrow.

There are no polarities to worry about with jade, only magnets. Jade is commonly worn on a pendant around the neck. Malas are also worn around the neck or worn on the wrist.

yes so if there are no polarities why not just wear jewelry at night which would have the same effect?

The benefits of jade are completely different. Jade has a purifying effect on the body, while the rings increase qi. They are not even close to the same thing. Here's some basic info about jade (and amber, which I would also find acceptable for this project): http://www.healthbeads.com/functions.php

yeah I know they are not the same thing that's what I'm saying I don't see the reason to build jade that can fit magnets besides for a cool project,for fun when you could already buy jewelry to wear at night.
