Do you know how to choose jade hand-held pieces?

Jade has always been one of the most popular jewelry and a symbol of luck and happiness. It is commonly said that gold and silver are money, diamonds are price, and jade is life. According to legend, jade is always connected with fate and has a close connection with its owner.

Playing with hand-held pieces is a way to keep fit and is also a continuation of Chinese traditional culture. There is an old saying in my country that "people nourish jade and jade nourishes people", because the oil secreted by the human body in the process of playing with jade will moisturize the jade, making it more delicate and warm, and the gloss will be enhanced. The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and there are various large and small blood vessels and meridians distributed on our hands. Because there are acupoints all over the palms, these acupoints are closely related to many of our internal organs and various organs in the body. In the process of playing with jade hand-held pieces, the protruding edges of the hand-held pieces will massage the various acupoints on the palms, thereby achieving a certain effect of strengthening the body.

Jade hand-held pieces are very ingenious in both appearance and carving. So how should we choose a good jade hand-held piece?

Apart from the first point of personal preference, the second is its size. If it is too big, it will be difficult to play with it in the hand. The normal size of the handle is about seven to eight centimeters long and four to five centimeters wide. Other data can be adjusted according to your own situation.

The third is the color of the handle. Usually red and yellow jade are symbols of power and wealth, but raw stones of various colors are also used for carving. The three-color one is called Fu Lu Shou and the four-color one is called Fu Lu Shou Xi. Jade handles with rich colors are easily loved by people.

The fourth point is that the jade carving should not be too complicated, and the carving lines should transition naturally and smoothly. As the saying goes, "If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object." The quality of carving is not determined by its simplicity or complexity, but by its high artistic quality, complete details, and natural transitions. In addition, the carvings on the handles must be staggered and abrupt so that they feel good when played with.

The fifth point is that the selection of themes is also very particular. The theme mainly refers to the meaning of the plaything. Traditional themes such as fortune, longevity, Buddha, and Pixiu are still popular today. In addition, some themes that express the pursuit of a better life, such as a happy life, wealth from all directions, and a happy family, are also deeply loved by people today.

When the jade hand-held piece has just been carved, the carving marks will be more obvious and the hand-held piece will feel distinctly angular in the hand. People in the industry often refer to hand-held pieces that have not been played with for a long time as "raw pits."

After a period of playing with raw jade, the angular areas on the surface of the jadeite can gradually be rounded, and a "patina" will form on the surface of the jadeite. This whole process is called "playing" or "polishing".

We can call the jade hand-held pieces that have been played with for a long time "mature pit".
