Breaking a Jade Bangle is Good Luck?

Beautiful Jade Bangle breaks into 4 / 3pm 29 Dec 2011 / 66 bus heading west, Glasgow

Though not actually good luck in a traditional sense, it is said that sometimes jade can save you from bad luck. If you break the jade bangle by accident some say it means you were spared bad luck, as the jade took the bad itself.
