What conditions are needed for jadeite to reach collection-level appreciation potential?

Today I would like to talk to you about what conditions are required to make jadeite reach collection level?

For the jade market this year and in the future, is raw material important? Or is craftsmanship important?

“The layman looks at the color, the expert looks at the quality”, when getting the same piece of jade, the layman looks at the color and shape, but for the jade collectors, they can often quickly identify the quality of jade from its water head, color, transparency and other aspects.

Of course, “three parts material and seven parts workmanship”, in addition to the quality of jade, its processing technology cannot be ignored in jade collection.

When collecting jadeite, one must first look at the raw material texture of the jadeite.

For example, jadeite from the old pit variety generally has good texture, full water, bright emerald green, high transparency, even color distribution, almost no flaws, and is close to perfect.

However, the bean-type jade has a more crystalline texture, poor moisture, low transparency, and shallow color, so the quality of jade is worse than that of the old pit type.

The more common type of jade on the market is bean-type jade, which is affordable for most people and has a relatively low collection value.

If you are considering collecting jadeite, you can choose the old pit type or ice type. In addition, the violet type has a light purple color that looks fashionable and has good collection value.

Of course, when collecting jade, in addition to looking at the quality of the jade, one should also look at the jade carving craftsmanship.

There was once a jade carving master who spent two months with the raw materials in order to find inspiration for the carving and the most suitable jade design pattern. He placed the material on the head of his bed every day, took a look at it when he got up in the morning, carried it with him during the day, and took another look at it before going to bed at night.

According to the master, this way he can communicate with the material, find inspiration, and let the material tell him how to best carve.

Three parts are material and seven parts are workmanship. The quality of jade is there. Different carvings will express different values ​​of jade. Whether the craftsmanship of jade is exquisite depends on this.

Generally speaking, the quality and color of jade raw materials vary greatly. Even in jade finished products, the texture often changes and the color is quite different.

Therefore, jade craftsmen must follow the design of the raw materials. If the jade carving skills are exquisite and perfect, they can often fully display the beauty of the jade raw materials and increase the value of jade to a certain extent.

Good carving can increase the value of jadeite of slightly inferior quality, but if the carving is far-fetched, it can sometimes greatly reduce the price of good jadeite raw materials.

Therefore, good jade raw materials should be carved by good craftsmen so that the natural beauty of the jade material can be perfectly combined with the carving, achieving harmony between man and nature.

In jade collection, raw materials and carvings are equally important. Jade with good raw materials and good craftsmanship has the most collection and investment value. It can not only maintain its value but also has great potential for appreciation.

In addition, some ordinary collectors are unable to determine the authenticity of jadeite. In this case, they can check whether the raw materials and craftsmanship of the jadeite are consistent.

If a piece of jade is of very good quality and bright color, but the carving is so rough that it is unsightly, it can be concluded that it is a fake.

It is difficult for a layman to tell the authenticity of jadeite, but most people can tell the carved shape of jadeite. Therefore, the exquisiteness of the jadeite carving craftsmanship can sometimes help novices to identify the authenticity of jadeite.
