Color classification of violet jadeite, a must-see for beginners

There is a classic saying in the jewelry industry: "Red jade, green jade and purple are the most valuable." This refers to violet jade, which is a special variety of jade. It is a more valuable color besides green. Because of its texture, mystery and nobility, it has attracted much attention from people, especially women and jade collectors. So is violet jade good? Is it worth collecting?

Speaking of collection value, one of the reasons why violet jade has a relatively high market value may be more because of its mystery. In fact, violet itself is a kind of flower that symbolizes eternal beauty. There is a myth behind it: According to legend, the goddess Venus was reluctant to part with her lover who was going on a long journey, and her crystal tears fell on the soil. However, in the spring of the following year, beautiful flowers bloomed. These are violets. Because of this fantastic myth, the violet has become mysterious and noble, and it also casts a veil of mystery over the violet jadeite.

In addition, the market value of violet jade is also closely related to the depth of its purple hue. Violet jade is named "violet jade" because its color is very similar to that of violet flowers. The purple color is generally lighter, and the jade industry divides the purple in jade into royal purple, red purple, blue purple, and pink purple according to the different shades of purple.

Royal Purple: A very pure purple, which is generally more saturated, giving people a sense of nobleness, grace and beauty. But this kind of purple is actually very rare. It belongs to theory and jadeite. Even among purple jadeite, it is difficult to come across, so its market value is very high.

Reddish purple: A purple with a slightly reddish hue. Its color saturation is medium. It is rare to see colors with high color saturation. However, since it is not common in purple jadeite, its value is highly recognized.

Blue purple: also known as "eggplant purple", a bluish purple with large variations in saturation. It is a common type in purple jadeite.

Violet: The purple ranges from medium depth to light color, and is often accompanied by some jadeite with coarse or fine texture. Occasionally, it appears with green to form "spring color", which is the standard color of violet jadeite.

Pink purple: A lighter purple that often has a reddish or bluish feel, but does not reach the level of red purple or blue purple, and has a relatively low saturation, so its market value is the lowest among all purple jadeites.

Therefore, not all violet jadeite is valuable. In fact, the market value of each piece of violet jadeite is not only related to the legendary value and the depth of purple tone mentioned above, but also to its texture, transparency, carving craftsmanship and other aspects.

In addition, the age groups of women who wear violet jadeite are also very particular according to the different shades. For example, girls in their 20s are generally suitable for fresh and elegant pink violet jadeite, as well as versatile and low-key blue-purple; middle-aged women are more intellectual and introverted, and are more suitable for wearing red-purple violets; and older women are dignified and steady and are more suitable for royal purple violet jadeite.
