Someone asked: How to choose a jade pendant?

Looking at the quality of the jade, that is, the texture, is the first step in choosing a jade pendant. Generally, there are ice type, glutinous type, bean type, glass type, etc. Then look at the color and size, and finally the carving. Why is carving placed last? A jade pendant with good texture will also have good craftsmanship. To see the essence through the phenomenon, we must distinguish between the primary and secondary contradictions. If the craftsmanship is good but the material is not, then we are putting the cart before the horse. Only when the inside is good, the outside appearance will make people feel high-end. Every piece of natural jade is different, just like everyone is unique. Good craftsmanship can enhance the color of the jade pendant, and the texture and color, the closer to ice type, the better. Jade should be selected according to age and clothing style. The color, water quality, presence of cracks, cotton pits and cotton content are all related to the determination of the price of jade.

Someone asked: What size should I choose for a jade pendant?

When choosing a pendant, you should choose a size that suits you, larger for men and smaller for women. As the saying goes, 'Look at the type of bracelet and the color of pendant'. The tighter the combination of jade particles, the greater the hardness and the higher the transparency. Also pay attention to whether there are cracks, as cracks can easily break it.

The following points are summarized:

1. Look at the transparency and gloss of the jade, and whether there are cracks, cotton wool and impurities.

2. Listen. The hardness of jade is relatively high. The better the jade, the crisper the sound will be when you knock it.

3. Identify: Real jade is generally very hard and will leave scratches on glass.

4. Color. The color of real jade is more natural and not harsh. Even for jade with bright colors such as imperial green and violet, you need to carefully observe the electroplating.

Check the color and see if there are bubbles and cracks left by electroplating. These tiny cracks with green and blue are called "spider claws".

Although small flaws on jade cannot be avoided, if you put yourself in their shoes, doesn't it prove that this is real jade? While we can be assured, we still need to pay attention to some small details, such as looking at the cotton wool and cracks inside, and we must also have a good eye. "People raise jade for three years, and jade raises people for a lifetime." I hope that all jade friends can find the piece of jade that belongs to them.
