Over the course of a year, I&#8217;ve seen quite a number of rare and exceptional pieces.<br><br>However, the person who most frequently challenges me with gemstones is my childhood friend, A-Jun. A-Jun has always been passionate about gems, and he often brings me his latest acquisitions to show off\u2014and to test me. But this time, he came not to challenge me, but with a face full of anxiety.<br>&#8220;Disaster! <br><br>Tomorrow is my mother-in-law\u2019s 70 birthday, and I got so busy that I forgot to prepare a gift! Just now, my wife asked about it, and in a panic, I said I already had something ready. I need to go out and get it right away!&#8221;<br>As soon as he said it, I couldn\u2019t help but laugh.<br>A- Jun\u2019s mother-in-law had been quite kind to him. When he started his business, she even invested to help him out. As such, the gift for such a senior and benefactor couldn\u2019t be anything too casual. <br><br>But if it were too expensive, his pocket would be empty, and he\u2019d worry about making her feel uncomfortable, so it was a real dilemma.<br>I flipped through a magazine on the table and pointed to the cover. &#8220;Look at this.&#8221;<br>A-Jun leaned over, skeptically flipping through the pages and reading aloud: &#8220;Longserving&#8230; Imperial Green Jadeite? Is it synthetic?&#8221;<br>I nodded. &#8220;The key point is the color.&#8221; I pointed to the vibrant green in the photo. &#8220;Imperial Green has always been the epitome of jadeite. It&#8217;s bright, transparent, and exudes a strong aura.&#8221;<br><br>A-Jun stared at the magazine for a long while, and his expression gradually softened.<br>&#8220;That&#8217;s right! She\u2019s into gem appreciation. She will definitely like it.&#8221;<br>That day, he went straight to the flagship store in Taipei and made the purchase. Later, I heard that on the day of the birthday banquet, his mother-in-law\u2019s eyes lit up, and she praised him, saying, &#8220;This child is really thoughtful.&#8221;<br>A-Jun came back triumphant, telling me that my suggestion had really worked!<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P-2025-21-4-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P-2025-21-4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P-2025-21-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P-2025-21-4.jpg 1108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Product Number:P-2025-21<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/474065119_122112142454694861_7945957172369334663_n-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/474065119_122112142454694861_7945957172369334663_n-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/474065119_122112142454694861_7945957172369334663_n-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/474065119_122112142454694861_7945957172369334663_n-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treasuredlovemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/474065119_122112142454694861_7945957172369334663_n.jpg 1041w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-contrast-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color has-fontsecondary-font-family has-medium-font-size wp-elements-367eb6ec3c439f927061356cd8c231c7\" style=\"text-decoration:none;text-transform:none\"><em>&#8220;This article is excerpted from the print special issue Treasured Love Special Issue.
