We all know that the quoted prices for jadeite vary greatly, ranging from hundreds of millions to just a few hundred or dozens. So what factors are at work that cause the quoted prices for jadeite to vary so drastically? There are many jadeite terms that differ by only one letter, but the quotes are very different! Today, I will talk about the one-word difference of jadeite... 1. Floating flower jadeite and floating color jadeite Jadeite floating color refers to the fact that there are some color distributions on jadeite that are different from the basic color of jadeite. The colors and the jade base color penetrate and blend with each other, making them difficult to distinguish from each other. "Spring Color" is a typical "floating color jadeite". What about floating flower jadeite? The floating flowers of jadeite refer to the distribution of colors different from the base color on the jadeite in the form of silk threads, clumps, or strips. This is because the color-causing ions enter the interior of the jade during the formation process, resulting in a color distribution that is different from the basic color of the jade. The main colors are floating blue flower jade and floating green flower jade. Generally speaking, "floating flower jadeite" is more valuable than "floating color jadeite", but rare species like "spring color" among floating color jadeite are also extremely valuable, so it still needs to be analyzed in detail. 2. Jadeite's luster and glue Jadeite luster is an optical phenomenon visible to the naked eye, which usually appears on the interface of colorless ice or glass jadeite. On the face of this jade ring, you can observe a soft white light, which is dim and looks like moonlight at night. This kind of white light is called "fluorescent light" in jargon, and this phenomenon is also called "ying guang". Although there is only one word difference, the two are different. Jadeite glue means that the jadeite looks like a piece of condensed glue. When this kind of jade rotates, depending on the light, the surface of the jade looks like flowing glue. This phenomenon is called "glue rising". Although the presence of luster and glue are both indicators of better quality than other jades, the quotes for these two types of jade are higher. However, jadeite with fluorescence will be more popular in the market, while jadeite with glue will give people a slightly inferior feeling, and its price in the market will be slightly lower than that of jadeite with fluorescence. No matter what kind of jade it is, you must find out its name and true value before purchasing. Please do not act blindly and do not buy the jadeite below, otherwise you will regret it. The defects that jade cabochons cannot tolerate are: There are large cracks on the ring face, which are clearly visible to the naked eye and have a great impact on the appearance of the ring face. There are very serious white cotton or black spots on the ring surface, which has a great impact on the appearance of the ring surface. The color of the ring surface is very uneven. There are severe breaks on the bracelet. Broken strands refer to cracks that cut across the bracelet. A bracelet with broken strands will easily break along the broken strands when encountering external force. Straight cracks refer to cracks parallel to the bracelet surface. Straight cracks that occupy more than one-third of the bracelet's circumference are also very serious problems. The requirements for flower pieces are relatively low. As the saying goes in the jargon, "no cracks, no flower pieces." If the material is perfect, without cracks, white cotton, or impurities, it will be processed into ring faces. It is precisely because of the impurities that it will be processed into flower pieces. Small cracks and impurities on flower pieces are tolerable; even high-end flower pieces cannot completely avoid flaws. For example, if there are big cracks on the road and it is about to crack through, don't touch it. People often say that no one is perfect, no jade is perfect, and natural jade will have some flaws. Just avoid these unbearable defects when choosing. Some minor defects will not have much impact on the value. fcgc66 fcgc99 |
