How to choose jade Guanyin and jade Buddha correctly?

As the saying goes: A man wearing jade Guanyin is wearing Buddha. Now we all know that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha" is just a habit, not that men can only wear Guanyin and women can only wear Buddha. Both Guanyin and Jade Buddha represent blessing peace, praying for well-being and bringing good luck.

Among jade carvings, Guanyin and Jade Buddha are the two most common jade shapes, and are also the two most in-demand jade pieces. But there are many different forms of Guanyin Jade Buddha. How do we choose them correctly?

Choose Guanyin Jade Buddha Based on Eye Appearance

Buddhism places great emphasis on karma; every encounter is fate, and the selection of the Guanyin Jade Buddha also requires eye contact.

It is said that everything depends on appearance. Our senses give us the most direct inspiration. Only jade that pleases our eyes can be with us all the time, and we can feel the protection and blessing it brings us comfortably as we spend our daily time with it.

The first impression is particularly important in selection, as it is an important basis for proving whether you are destined to be with the person. To be specific, we should start from both expression and form.

Expression refers to the image state expressed by the device, such as whether the jade Buddha is smiling kindly or facing the wall in meditation. The shape refers to the posture of the characters in the device, such as whether the jade Buddha is standing or squatting, whether Guanyin is standing kindly or sitting cross-legged, etc.

The jade Buddhas of Guanyin are the embodiment of compassion, with kind and amiable faces. There is no good or bad in their expressions and forms, only different in their expressions. Therefore, your eye for the eye and your first impression are very important.

Selecting the Guanyin Jade Buddha from the Carver

Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. The carving craftsmanship of the Guanyin Jade Buddha is very important. When purchasing a pendant, you should consider whether the image of the Guanyin Jade Buddha is complete and consistent, whether the lines are delicate, clear and smooth, and whether there are any minor unevenness remaining. Only when the facial features are clear can one receive the spiritual inspiration of Guanyin and Buddha through the eyes and eyebrows.

Selecting Guanyin Jade Buddha from Seed Quality

Three parts labor and seven parts materials. The quality of jade is the most basic factor determining whether a piece of jade is high-end. Jade is a multi-mineral aggregate, and the type of jade determines its quality.

Old and delicate jade has a beautiful luster and is watery and translucent. Jadeite is carved into Guanyin Buddha ornaments with a distinct glass luster, making the originally gentle and solemn Guanyin Buddha statue even more dazzling. Wearing jadeite and standing in the sunlight, Guanyin's strong luster reflects in the eyes, as if experiencing the blessing of the Buddha's light personally, and it can also soothe people's originally restless mood and greedy desires.

In addition, the unique spirituality of the jade Guanyin Buddha statue not only gives it the beautiful meaning of good luck and fortune, but also can play a role in health care. Good quality jade Guanyin and jade Buddha not only have a delicate and full texture, but also give people a watery feeling.

If the financial conditions are insufficient, you can choose one of slightly lower quality (of course not very bad), which can still make you look dignified and elegant when worn, and can be matched with rich colors, such as green, red, yellow, or colorless, and with precious metals or various gemstones.

This exquisite carving combined with unparalleled cutting makes the accessories more eye-catching and hard to put down. It not only satisfies the mentality of middle-aged and elderly people who prefer wealth and fortune, but also conforms to the pursuit of fashion trends by young people. Jade symbolizes wealth and status, and wearing it can protect you from harm and harm.

To judge the quality, you need to make it up in your mind, because there are many variations in the types of jade. As a natural jade, it has more or less some impurities, flaws, etc. The impact of these flaws on jade is also larger or smaller, and there is no uniform standard.

Generally speaking, small flaws that are not obvious or visible when worn on the body are basically acceptable. However, if it is a high-end jadeite at the collection level, it must be visible through light (illuminated) without obvious flaws. The flaws of jadeite affect its price. When purchasing it, follow the principle of “you get what you pay for”. Don’t be greedy for cheapness and don’t be picky.

Choose Guanyin Jade Buddha by Size

The forms of the Jade Buddha Guanyin are ever-changing, but no matter what posture it is, the proportions of each part must be coordinated. For example, for the seated Guanyin, the length of the body is about 3 times the length of the head, and the width of the body is about 1.5 times the width of the head. This proportion is the most appropriate. If it is too big or too small, it will appear unharmonious and will naturally affect the immortal image of Guanyin.

When making a choice, you should base it on your actual situation. The bigger the better is not necessarily true. For example, people who are shorter or children can choose a smaller one, and consumers who are fatter can choose a larger one. This way it can match the body proportions perfectly, appearing both beautiful and coordinated.

Choose Guanyin Jade Buddha from the theme

When wearing a Buddha statue, it is usually a smiling Buddha, as the smiling face greets people, which can make people feel relaxed. There are many considerations when choosing the Guanyin theme.

The theme can be simply understood as a moral. For example, if you are a married mother who has not yet given birth to a child (giving it as a gift to someone else or wearing it yourself), you can choose a statue of Guanyin, wishing you to have a child. Some people may be more concerned about matching their zodiac sign or natal Buddha, so they can choose the corresponding Guanyin Jade Buddha.

Choose Guanyin Jade Buddha by Color

Color is a very important evaluation factor for jadeite. Jade is mainly green, and green is the most valuable color. Green represents life and vitality and is a noble color.

There is an old saying that experts judge by color while laymen judge by quality. Different colors of Guanyin jade Buddha give people different feelings. Of course, color is not the only factor in evaluation, and there is no absolute good or bad. Some people like green, while others love purple the most. What is important is what you like.
