Tips for buying jadeite

Tips for buying jadeite

Jade is loved by many jade lovers for its warm and moist characteristics, but how to find jade that satisfies oneself is also a problem that troubles many jade lovers. Today Hai Xin will bring you some of the most commonly used tips when buying jade!

How to judge the transparency of jadeite

The transparency of jade is also called "water head", which refers to the depth of light entering jade. The higher the transparency of jade, the higher its value, and the lower the transparency, the lower the value of jade.

When we judge the transparency of jadeite, we first prepare a piece of paper with words on it, then take a small piece of jadeite and place it on the paper with words, and observe the words on the paper through the jadeite. The clearer the handwriting, the better the transparency of the jadeite.

High-value jadeite types

There are many types of jade. In the jade industry, there is a saying that there are thirty-six waters, seventy-two beans, and one hundred and eight blues. Although there are many types of jade, not all jade is of high value.

Jadeites of low value have their own shortcomings, but jadeites of high value all meet the characteristics of good quality, sufficient water, uniform color, clean bottom, and exquisite carving. The most popular one is the glass-type imperial green, but such top-quality jadeite is hard to come by and it is difficult to find it in ordinary small markets.

Color of Emerald

The color of jade is determined by its coloring elements. For example, green jade is caused by the presence of chromium ions, and purple jade is caused by the presence of manganese ions. It should be noted that green and purple are both native colors of jade, while red and yellow are not native colors but secondary colors, which are formed by iron, manganese and other substances filling between grains or in cracks.

Although jade comes in many colors, if you just want to wear it, you have to decide based on your skin color and preferences. Although green is the most popular color, it may not suit everyone's taste, and other colors of jade are also very beautiful.
