The greener the jade, the more valuable it is? Unexpected answer...

At present, green is indeed the most popular color in the jade market. Under similar quality conditions, the price of green jade will be higher than that of colorless jade. The greener the jade and the more evenly the color is distributed, the higher the price. The identification of jadeite also depends first on its color. Whether the color is pure, how intense it is, and the growth form of the "green" all have a great impact on the value of jadeite. Therefore, people often say "a one-level difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price."

But don’t think that other jades except green are cheap. Some colors are even rarer than green!

1. Colorless Jade

It is actually very difficult for jade to be colorless and transparent. This kind of jade has a single composition, fine minerals, tight structure, and excellent transparency, and is regarded as a "family heirloom" by collectors.

Value index: ★★★★★

2. Purple

Purple jade is also called "purple jadeite" and can be divided into light purple, pink purple, blue purple, etc. according to the color depth. For example, violet jadeite is beautiful and rare, hard to come by, and has great investment value.

Value index: ★★★★

3. Black

There are two types of black jade. Dark gray to gray-black jade looks dirty and can only be considered low-grade jade. Black jade is black under ordinary light, but emerald green can be seen through the black under strong light. It has a high-end beauty and is very valuable.

Value index: ★★★★★

4. Combination of colors

Some color combinations are very valuable, depending on the craftsmanship of the craftsman. The purple and green "Spring Color" and the "Fu Lu Shou" carved from green, red and purple jade have a very auspicious charm; there is also the "Five-Colored Jade" that can only be seen in legends, both of which are very valuable.

Value index: ★★★★★……

"Experts look at the species, laymen look at the color"

In fact, color is one of the key factors that determine the quality of jadeite. When experts choose jadeite, they usually look at the type first, then the color, and finally the certificate. "Nine out of ten kinds are beans", good quality jade is the most scarce species.

The standard of good jadeite:

Good water

The prices of glass-type and ice-type jade are generally very high, because the production of these types of jade is very small, and most of the jade on the market is bean-type.

Spicy color

Among the many colors of jade, green is the most precious. The purer the green tone of jade, the better. In jade, the green should be as free of yellow, bluish and gray as possible. The purer the green, the higher the value of the jade.

Less endogenous

To look at the internal quality of jade, first look at the amount of impurities in the jade and whether it is transparent and flawless. Generally, the fewer impurities, the better. The second is to see how much "cotton" and "flower" there are in the cracks of the jade. The finer and cleaner the texture, the higher the value.

Sufficient materials

The more complete the jade product and the more materials it uses, the higher the price will definitely be. Generally, heavy jade is carved from relatively neat raw stones, so it is more valuable: jade bracelets are generally more expensive than other jade jewelry, because bracelets are waste materials, and the quality requirements of the materials are also high. When a piece of material is opened, the first thing to consider is definitely how to carve a bracelet, so the price will be relatively more expensive.

"The best one is the one that suits you!"

The ultimate ice type and the domineering and deep green are like a thousand-year-old cold pond, mysterious and alluring. This icy imperial green jadeite has a uniform and rich color, and is as transparent as ice when you look closely. This type of jadeite is extremely rare and is a coveted item among many collectors, with prices easily reaching hundreds of millions.

If a piece of jade has good color but poor water quality, it will not look lively enough; and if it has good water quality but poor color, it will not look luxurious enough. Don’t blindly pursue the greener the better, or excessively pursue ice or even glass jade. Of course, jade with good color and good quality must be top-grade jade, but its price may not be something you can afford!

Considering your own situation and within your ability, just choose what you like. Wearing your favorite jade every day is itself a very valuable investment!
