How is the jadeite we buy appraised?

In fact, jadeite, like other gems and jades, has a set of scientific appreciation, evaluation and pricing methods. It is not like what people often say that gold has a price but jade is priceless. You can say how much you want and sell it for whatever price you want. The country has registered jewelry appraisers who scientifically price jewelry, including jade. How to set a scientific price? First, decide what kind, color, and size the jade is, and then use a complicated formula to calculate its value.

The price of jadeite is not exact to a certain amount of yuan, but rather a range. Moreover, the price changes every month. Experts often say, "If you don't buy and sell jade for half a year, you will become a layman." Even if you look at the price at the same time, a fluctuation of 50% is very normal. Different experts and different demands will also result in different bids. There are two pieces of jade in front of us, what should we compare? The answer is color, transparency, size, thickness, amount of craftsmanship and fineness.

When it comes to color, the darker the better, but the brighter the better. Deep and dark is not as good as light and bright. The more green parts, the higher the value; the more uniform the green, the higher the value.

Compare transparency and the coarseness of crystal particles. Experts also call it "water head" or "seed content". The more transparent it is and the finer the crystal particles, the better. This is what experts often say, "Good seeds and sufficient water." "Experts buy seeds, laymen buy colors."

In terms of size and thickness, bigger things are of course more valuable, but the size must be reasonable and beautiful. If it is inappropriately large, there will not be much room for appreciation. Thick, of course, the thicker the better, with more ingredients, and the ingredients must be complete. Fuller jade has better beauty, but you should also pay attention to reasonable proportions.

When it comes to craftsmanship, the more refined the better, and everyone understands this. The simpler the workmanship, the better. This may be difficult for many people to understand. Doesn't complex craftsmanship indicate high difficulty? Why is it bad? In fact, there is a very famous saying in jade processing, which is "no knots, no flowers." It is not easy to carve line patterns on jadeite raw stones without cracks or defects. Many lines are used to cover up the defects on the raw materials.
