There are ten jargons you must know about jadeite. Are you sure you understand them all?

Every industry has its own jargon, and every sentence embodies the wisdom and experience of predecessors. Therefore, every jargon is worth our careful consideration. A thorough understanding can help you accumulate a lot of experience in a short period of time and avoid many detours. Therefore, you have to understand some jargon about jade!

For example, after studying the following 10 sentences, you have basically got started!

No Cotton, No Jade

There is no perfect existence in the world! The same is true for jadeite, so there is a saying in the jadeite industry that "no cotton, no jade". Most jadeite lovers believe that the best jadeite is the one without cotton, and it should be as clean as glass. They believe that the presence of cotton is a defect! In fact, it is not true. Cotton is a sign of natural jade. All jade has cotton. It is just a matter of more or less. We should look at the cotton in jade rationally!

No locks, no covering of flowers

Simply put, high-end jadeite with natural beauty is the most expensive. If a piece of raw jade is flawless, it does not need any carving or modification. Generally speaking, jadeite with carved patterns already has flaws, and carving is only to cover up the flaws. Of course, the exquisite carving skills and good water quality can still impress many people!

Watching the green with a cold eye

"Stir-fried green" refers to a kind of "fake jade" with added color. This is an old trick, and the counterfeiting methods include "showering", "bathing" and "coating". But even if it is easy to identify, it does not mean that it will never be invisible. People in the industry say that this is a reminder for people to value their first impression and not to overlook any doubts. Consumers might as well take a cooler view.

Don't look at jade under the lamp

This is easier to understand, and it’s also an old saying! It means that when buying jade, do not view or examine it under a light. This is because the light will make the color of the jade more vivid and the water content more abundant, and the flaws of the jade will also be covered up. In this way, it is impossible to distinguish the true value of the jade itself.

Even the gods cannot tell the difference between a jade and a jade

“Even gods cannot tell the quality of jade,” is a common saying in the entire jade industry. As the name suggests, even a god with magical powers would find it difficult to tell what kind of jade is underneath the skin of a piece of jade, because the uncertainty in jade identification is too great!

There is water wherever there is a dragon

Because the green color of jadeite often extends in strips like a dragon, green is likened to a dragon. "Water" refers to the water head of jadeite, that is, the degree of transparency and roundness of jadeite. "There is water everywhere where the dragon is" means that the green parts often have good water head and a relatively delicate and rounded texture.

Gold has a price, jade is priceless

Gold has been a symbol of wealth since ancient times, and people often use "a family with a fortune" to describe a wealthy life. Gold is weighed and priced in kilograms or ounces, which follows a regular pattern, so no matter how much gold there is, its price can be calculated. Jadeite is the king of jade and is very precious. So far, there is no fixed pricing model for jadeite. It is classified purely based on its quality and cannot be measured in kilograms or ounces.

Dog shit bottom out high green

The so-called "dog shit land" is a professional term in the jade industry, referring to the jade of the worst quality. This kind of jade has a rough texture, is opaque, has many cracks, has a gray base, and contains many impurities, so it cannot be shipped. But even in many "dog shit" jadeite raw stones, there will be high-quality green colors, and most of them are in the form of block veins, and the quality of the water is much better than that of these "dog shit" jadeite raw stones.

One color difference means ten times the price difference

For high-end jadeite, if there is a difference in color, then it will be reflected in the price difference by more than double. For example: a jade ring face worth 200,000 yuan and a jade ring face worth 400,000 yuan, the quality, style, size, type, water, and flaws of the jade are all the same, and are impeccable. The key price difference between the two lies in the level of green color of the jade ring face.

Laymen look at the color, experts look at the water quality

The "expert" in "experts look at the quality" refers to people who understand jade, and "quality" refers to the water head and texture. The "layman" in "layman look at the color" refers to people who do not know or understand jade, and "color" refers to the color type and brightness of jade.

Okay, we have analyzed the ten most common jargons in jadeite. Do you have a feeling of sudden enlightenment? Jargon is a concentration of the wisdom of our predecessors and is of great significance. Once you master it, you can get twice the result with half the effort when buying jadeite! In fact, there are many professional terms in jadeite. I will let you know when there is a chance!
