"Type, water, color and workmanship" are the basis for selecting jadeite, and the new trend of collection and purchase also needs to consider these four points

Good quality and water can bring out the color of jade. Jade with excellent quality and color combined with good carving can enhance the value of jade. Therefore, the selection of jade is based on "quality, water, color, and craftsmanship". Due to the gradual progress of the development of jade culture, new trends have also emerged in the collection and purchase of jade. On the basis of quality, water, color, and craftsmanship, four other points must be considered before choosing to buy.

Regarding the new trend of collecting and purchasing jadeite, in addition to the "quality, water, color, and workmanship", one must also consider the four points of shape, rhyme, transmission, and evidence.

Shape refers to the shape of jadeite, which includes four aspects: size, fullness, regularity, and thickness. Jadeite worthy of collection is moderate in size and thickness, with good fullness and regular shape. After such processing, the value of jade works will be much higher.

Although the word "charm" is mostly used to describe the scent of a woman, the charm of jade is not its scent, but the meaning given to jade by the sculptor after it is carved, such as the big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, baby-faced Guanyin, zodiac signs, etc. These finished jade products have different images and different charms. Jade with certain meanings will be much more valuable than jade without meaning.

"Chuan" means inheritance. Collectors like old things the most. Some people become more charming as they get older. The same goes for jadeite. The older it is, the more historical and age-feeling it has. Most old jadeite has inheritance value. Jadeite that can provide inheritance significance to future generations is the most worthy of collectors' purchase.

The certificate is relatively simple. It refers to the appraisal certificate issued by the jade itself, such as the inspection certificate issued by the National Jewelry and Jade Testing Center and the Provincial Jewelry and Jade Testing Center. In the past, many professional collectors were not very optimistic about appraisal certificates, because they felt that their appraisal ability was strong enough and they could tell the authenticity at a glance. But nowadays, jade counterfeiting methods are becoming more and more sophisticated, and many experienced collectors will be fooled. Therefore, they will pay attention to the appraisal certificate to feel at ease.

With the development of the times and the growth of culture, jade culture is also progressing. Many collectors have also shown new trends in the purchase of jade. They will not only look at the "quality, water, color and workmanship", but also need to pay more attention to the four points of shape, rhyme, transmission and evidence.
