In terms of type, color and workmanship, which type of jade is more expensive?

Many friends like jade. No matter they bought it themselves or received it as a gift from friends, I believe everyone has had the same question: how much is this piece of jade worth? Indeed, among jewelry and jade, the price of jade is affected by many factors: the value of the jade itself and market conditions can directly determine its final price. But no matter what, there are four basic elements that make up a finished jade product: type, water, color, and workmanship. Let’s talk about how to value the jade itself.

The quality of jadeite

The better jade quality are: glass type, ice type, glutinous type, bean type, and oily green type. This is the first step in determining the value of a piece of jade. That is to say, if the water content is not good, no matter how spicy the color is, it will be difficult for the jade itself to "turn around." This is also the reason why some bean-type or oily green jade brands or bracelets look really green, but their prices are not high enough.

Jadeite color and craftsmanship

Jade has a wide range of colors, but among the many colors, green has always been the most expensive. Because jade is natural and takes tens of thousands of years to form, even if it is all green, it will be divided into different color shades, color correctness, distribution conditions, etc., which determine the value of jade. Of course, other colors are also very popular, but they have always been slightly lower than green jadeite. Let’s talk about the “craftsmanship” of jade: generally speaking, it can be divided into two types. Good jade does not require excessive carving to highlight its own beauty. Wu Shi Pai, egg-shaped faces, beads, etc. The other type is carving with more exquisite craftsmanship, which is a combination of shape, color and meaning. Generally, master-level jade carvings are very expensive.
