Jade Guanyin, this is the correct way to choose

The quality of a jade Guanyin is not just about identifying whether the carving is exquisite. A jade Guanyin with good quality can not only be passed down from generation to generation and appreciate in value, but it can even offset the wearer's restless mood because it better displays Guanyin's compassion and gentle nature.

1. Look at the eyebrows

Guanyin's appearance is required to be dignified, elegant, beautiful and intelligent, so Guanyin's eyebrows should be willow-leaf-shaped, thin and long, and curved above the eyes.

In addition, it is required to be clearly visible, which is the "clear eyebrows" in what we often call "beautiful eyebrows and eyes", and there cannot be any impurities or cracks in the eyebrows. If it is colored jade, the color of the eyebrows must be uniform.

2. Look at the eyes

The forms of Guanyin are ever-changing; her eyes may be closed, looking in all directions, and so on. However, no matter what expression she presents, there must not be any impurities, cracks, or color spots caused by uneven color distribution of jadeite. Moreover, Guanyin’s eyes should be the same size and symmetrical on both sides.

3. Look at the face

The Jade Guanyin is a figure sculpture, so the requirements for its face are extremely cautious. Not only is the face required to be kind, showing the image of saving people from suffering, but it must also not have a "painted face" due to uneven color distribution, impurities, etc., which would affect the overall beauty of Guanyin. More importantly, Guanyin's face must not have any cracks. If there are any, you must carefully consider purchasing it.

4. Look at the Buddha’s Light

The so-called Buddha light is actually the light released from between Guanyin's eyebrows, which is a symbol of wisdom. If there are impurities or spots on the Buddha's light, it will affect the spiritual energy bestowed by the entire Buddha's light.

The size ratio we are talking about here refers to the size ratio of Guanyin itself, and the size ratio of Guanyin chosen by consumers based on their own conditions.

1The size of Guanyin itself

Guanyin's forms vary greatly, but no matter what posture it is, the proportions of each part must be coordinated. For example, for a seated Guanyin, the length of the body is about 3 times the length of the head, and the width of the body is about 1.5 times the width of the head. This is the most appropriate proportion. If it is too large or too small, it will appear uncoordinated and will naturally affect the immortal image of Guanyin.

2. The size of Guanyin according to your own conditions:

When choosing and buying a jade Guanyin, do not pursue the bigger the better, but buy the one that suits you. As long as we are pious and sincere, we will receive the protection and blessing of Guanyin. For example, children can choose a smaller jade Guanyin; consumers with a fatter body can choose a larger one.

When buying a Guanyin, whether it is for wearing, display, gift giving, collection, etc., it is important to consider your eye for it. That is, when you first see this jade Guanyin, do you feel love at first sight?

① Texture. If it is to be collected or handed down from generation to generation, it is best to choose a jade Guanyin with good texture (such as glass jade or ice jade).

② Color. The choice should also be based on your own conditions. For example, if you are older, you can choose a darker-colored Jade Guanyin to show your calmness; young people can choose a brighter-colored Jade Guanyin to highlight their vitality and vigor.

③ Clarity and cracks. Jade is produced in nature, so it is inevitable that it has impurities and cracks. If there are cracks on the head and Buddha's halo of Guanyin, especially cracks, you should consider purchasing it with caution, as these will affect the spirituality of Guanyin.
