Which one is worth buying, yellow jade or yellow jade?

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the season for yellow jade has arrived.

China has had the custom of valuing red and yellow since ancient times.

The dragon robe worn by ancient emperors is also called the "yellow robe".

The combination of such precious yellow and jade is truly a match made in heaven.

High-quality yellow jade is also called "golden jadeite" by people in the industry.

However, many jade lovers probably only know about yellow jade but not yellow jade.

Generally speaking, jadeite with a yellow hue is collectively called yellow jadeite.

The words "with yellow hue" make the category of yellow jade include the entire yellow color system.

Therefore, based on different color tone standards, people in the industry divide yellow jade into yellow jade and jade yellow.

The so-called yellow jadeite refers to the yellow tone with jadeite (brown-red) as the main color.

A more common understanding is that a few drops of yellow pigment are added to the brown-red pigment, and the final color effect is the color of yellow jade.

In terms of visual effect, yellow jade has a slight reddish tint.

The so-called jade yellow refers to the main yellow tone.

That is to say, it is completely opposite to yellow jadeite. Jade yellow is a yellow-toned color, and a few drops of brown-red pigment are added, so that the yellow tone finally prevails.

Among jade yellows, the richer colors include chestnut yellow, chicken fat yellow and lemon yellow.

In fact, the difference between jade yellow and yellow jade lies in the last word.

Whichever word comes last indicates the emphasis of the color tone.

Some jade lovers may want to ask: "Which one is more expensive, yellow jade or yellow jade?"

In fact, yellow jadeite and jadeite yellow both refer to the color of jadeite, but color is not the only factor in determining the value of jadeite.

Factors such as water quality and carving will affect its value, so specific analysis is needed.

It has honey color and orange color with good water quality, is crystal clear and has uniform color. It is one of the more valuable types of yellow jade and is extremely rare.

Most of the yellow jade on the market has poor transparency and a relatively loose structure, which is related to the formation process of yellow jade.

Like red jadeite, yellow is also a secondary color. However, yellow jade is generally located above red jade, close to the surface of the original stone.

The original color was brown at first. Under long-term geological and weathering effects, iron oxide gradually invaded the lower cortex, forming a yellow fog.

The formation of yellow color is related to the effects that jade has been subjected to in its later stages, and its texture is generally drier.

Jadeites like ice-type yellow jadeite or glass-type yellow jadeite are almost rare in the market.

Generally, the yellow jadeite that jade lovers see in the market are bean-type or glutinous-type.

The value of yellow jadeite with poor quality is naturally low.

However, some merchants have set their sights on selling these "inferior yellow jadeite".

They would put the "inferior yellow jade" into a constant temperature electric furnace, add oxidants, keep the temperature at 300-550 degrees, and leave it there for 3 to 4 days.

When the temperature gradually drops to 100 degrees, take it out and you will get bright red jadeite.

What is produced by the above method is "burned red jadeite".

Such "red jadeite" is still natural jadeite and can be issued with an appraisal certificate.

However, the transparency of "red jadeite" that has been heat-treated also decreases sharply along with the brightness of its color.

For jade lovers, choosing red jade or yellow jade is a personal aesthetic choice.

However, in order to avoid being deceived by some unscrupulous merchants, it is necessary to understand jade knowledge!
