There are several levels of jadeite collection, and this is ranked first?

There is a saying in the jade industry: "One bracelet, two pendants, and three handles", which refers to the value of jade. However, the true ranking of jade value is "one egg, two bracelets and three jade pendants"! Why is this?

01 Jade Egg Noodle

Although in general, the first thing to do when jadeite raw stone is to make bracelets, egg-shaped stones are the last choice. However, the jade egg-shaped surface is often the most precious part of the entire jade raw stone, because the jade egg-shaped surface has the highest requirements for the jade raw materials.

It is normal for cotton wool, black spots, cracks and other defects to appear on bracelets and pendants, and they can also be transformed into something magical through carving. The jade egg-shaped surface must be flawless, and the color and water quality must be the best part of the entire jade raw stone.

Jade egg-shaped gems are usually set into various jewelry such as jade rings, jade necklaces, jade pendants, etc., and are the first choice for jade collection.

02 Jade Bracelet

As the saying goes “one bracelet, two pendants and three handles”, when a piece of jadeite raw stone is mined, the first thing to consider is whether it can be made into a bracelet, and the remaining material can be used to make other jadeite jewelry.

Although the requirements for the raw stone of jadeite bracelets are not as high as those of egg-shaped jadeite, the volume of the raw material must be sufficient to make a bracelet. There are no lines or cracks, and not many flaws.

What ultimately determines the value of a jade bracelet is its quality and color. Jade bracelets with fine quality, rich water content and full color have high collection value.

03 Jade pendant

After the jadeite raw stone is used to make bracelets, a lot of bracelet core material will be left. These bracelet core materials are usually made into jade pendants by jade carving masters.

The value of a jade pendant depends on the thickness of the jade, and the material used in the bracelet core is generally sufficient. If it is a thin and light jade pendant, it will not have much collection value.

04 Jade beads

It is easy to make a bead with excellent quality, water color, but it is difficult to make a jade bead necklace of the same size and similar quality, water color.

Moreover, making jadeite raw stones into necklaces will consume a large amount of jadeite raw materials. In order to maximize profits, jadeite raw stones are rarely turned into beads.

Scarcity makes things valuable, which is why the transaction prices of top-quality jadeite necklaces have repeatedly hit new highs at auctions over the years.

05 Jadeite Ornaments

Although jade ornaments are large in size, they have the lowest collection value. Usually, it is because the material of the jadeite raw stone is of poor quality and cannot be made into the above-mentioned jadeite jewelry, so it is made into jadeite ornaments.

Valuable jade ornaments are usually purchased in the rough stone stage and carved according to the owner's requirements.
