Which is more important for jade: its type or color? Which one do you prefer?

There is a saying in the jade industry: "Laymen look at the color, experts look at the quality." You may think that the color is easier to see with the naked eye, but the type is not so easy. It is a collection of many aspects of jade quality, including transparency, texture, grain size and so on. However, there is a saying in the jewelry industry that jade has “one hundred and eight colors” to describe the richness of jade’s colors. The color of jade also directly affects the assessment of its value.

The value of jade is judged by many aspects and cannot be simply understood from one aspect. Sometimes even a very ordinary piece of jade will be very valuable if it has good carving. The value of jade is determined by five aspects: quality, water, background color, and workmanship. In our usual descriptions, we tend to talk about quality and water together, so quality and water and color become the two primary criteria for us to assess the value of jade.

Jadeite’s quality is divided into glass type, ice type, glutinous type, bean type, etc. Common colors of jade, take green for example, there are bright green, seedling green, apple green, emerald green, pretty green, yellow sun green, etc.

So when the quality and color of jade are incompatible, is the quality or the color more important? Some people think the quality is important, while others think the color is important. Although there is a saying in the jade industry that "laymen look at color, experts look at quality", don't forget that there is also a saying that "one point of color is ten points of price". All jade lovers understand how precious green jade is. In fact, these statements are all praises for jade from jade lovers. They are just different opinions and contentions of a hundred schools of thought.
