Not all jade is expensive, especially these 5 types, jade lovers should be careful when purchasing!

Jade is the king of jades and is becoming more and more popular among people. Its value is rising faster and faster, especially the best jade raw materials which are very hard to come by.

Jade resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Jade is born with a noble character. There is a saying that goes, a good house and a good car are not as good as a piece of good jade, and passing on gold and silver is not as good as passing on a piece of jade.

Therefore, when it comes to jade, in the impression of many jade lovers, jade is a luxury item and a treasure that makes women crazy! It is the favorite of rich ladies and wealthy bosses, but they think it is too expensive.

Not all jade is expensive!

People often tell me:

This is natural for me! It’s A-grade goods! ...

In fact, the subtext may be: This thing of mine is very expensive and valuable.

Many friends who are new to jade may have such thoughts in their hearts. In fact, it is not the case. The price range of natural jade is very wide, ranging from small pendants of dozens of yuan to jade jewelry worth hundreds of millions. It can satisfy mass consumption and also be collected and passed down as a treasure, so it is suitable for consumers from different classes.

In the jade industry, "A-grade jade" refers to natural jade. It does not represent the highest value nor the most beautiful, so "A-grade jade" has nothing to do with the grade of jade. Therefore, everyone should remember this formula: natural A-grade jade ≠ high-value jade .

The question is, what kind of natural jade is the cheapest? Teacher Wang lists several low-end types. I hope everyone will pay attention during the purchase process and not waste money.

Low-end "stone" jade

Many low-end jades have no water quality or color, and are neither transparent nor bright. They are almost stone-like. There is only an empty name of "jade" left there. They are completely lifeless. Rough, shriveled, and cracked are synonymous with brick-like jade. You should really don't buy this kind of stone-like jade. For example: horse-tooth jade, lightning-struck jade, dry white jade, porcelain-bottom jade, 83 jade, and of course the worst jade, which is directly called stone material and brick material. Although they are real jade, they are also real "stones" .

Horse tooth breed

Horse-tooth jade is generally not very common, but because there are not many of them on the market, many people are more easily deceived. The horse-tooth jadeite has a white to gray base, mostly green, with a simple tone that may be mixed with light green, brown and other colors. It is opaque and has color but no quality. Although the texture is relatively fine, the water head is very poor, just like ordinary porcelain, and is not worth collecting!

Lightning

As the name suggests, thunder-struck jade is the kind that looks beautiful at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one can find heart-wrenching cracks, just like it was struck by lightning, and there is no pattern to these internal cracks. Precisely because of the need to avoid cracks, thunder-struck jadeite generally does not have relatively large finished products, but rather tiny finished products such as ring faces and small pendants. On the contrary, such small pieces made to avoid defects have neither ornamental value nor investment appreciation potential.

Dry white

The seeds are coarse, the water is dry, and they are not moist. These are the basic characteristics of the dry white seeds. It is conceivable that this dry white seed has no outstanding advantages. Although dry white jade is colorless or light-colored, it is not as valuable as glass and ice jade, because crystal particles can be clearly seen with the naked eye, and the overall feeling is very rough.

Porcelain-bottomed jadeite

As the name suggests, the texture of porcelain-bottom jadeite is the same as that of porcelain, coarse, gray, and without water. Although it looks delicate on the surface, in fact, when observed under the light, it is clear that the crystal grains of porcelain-bottom jadeite are coarse, so that the jadeite as a whole is almost opaque. In addition, the deathly gray color of porcelain-bottom jadeite makes it look extremely dull. Porcelain-bottom jadeite is a kind of defensive jadeite and does not have much ornamental value or investment value!

83 Jade

Why is this kind of jade called 83 jade? Because it was discovered in 1983. Although they are both called jade, their values ​​are very different. 83 Jade is jade, but its structure is very loose and the grains are very large. It looks rough and ugly and has little market value. It is a relatively cheap jade. But because 83 jadeite usually has some green color and looks very much like floating flowers, it is very deceptive. Jade lovers must keep their eyes open and consider carefully.

In short, Mr. Wang advises all jade lovers that whether collecting and wearing or investing for appreciation, it must be based on an understanding of jade, and learn more and observe more. In addition, low-end jade has never been an investment option. When choosing jade, please avoid the ones introduced above. It is better to buy a piece that you like and has investment value than to buy many low-quality pieces.

Expensive things are not necessarily good, but good things are definitely expensive . Is it true that all jade is expensive? That's because you didn't choose the right one. Generally speaking, expensive jade has the following characteristics:

Sufficient water

The prices of glass-type and ice-type jade are generally very high, because the output of these types of jade is very small. Most of the jade on the market is bean-type. Of course, those with a low budget can choose some glutinous-type jade. Small ice-type fine products are not expensive either, and they are all options.

Good color

Currently, green is the most popular color in the market. Under similar quality conditions, the price of green jade will be higher than that of colorless jade. The greener the jade and the fuller and more evenly the color is distributed, the higher the price will be. However, don’t think that colors other than green are cheap. Violet jade, spring-colored (green + purple), and three-color jade are also very expensive, and many are even more expensive than green jade.

Use more materials

The more complete the jade product and the more materials it uses, the higher the price will definitely be. Therefore, jade bracelets are generally more expensive than other jade jewelry. Because bracelets are waste materials, the quality requirements of the materials are also high. When a piece of material is opened, the first thing to consider is how to make a bracelet, so the price will be relatively more expensive.

What kind of jade is the best?

Suitable for you!

Like jade but think it's too expensive? In fact, for ordinary people, it is not necessary to blindly pursue ice or even glass jade, nor is it necessary to insist that the jade must be full green.

Jadeite like full green glass is beautiful and valuable and worth buying. If you can afford it, Teacher Wang recommends that you buy it for collection. If your budget is not enough to buy jadeite of this quality, you might as well buy it according to your own budget, such as small ice-type pendants, full green jadeite inlaid bracelets, full green egg-shaped earrings, small light luxury jadeite rings, etc. These are not expensive and can be worn in daily life.

Which is more important, species or color?

Jadeite with excellent quality and color is good, but the price is naturally not cheap. If you cannot have both, I still recommend that you give priority to quality.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the color, the expert looks at the quality. Jadeite with good quality but poor color will become more and more beautiful if it is well maintained. However, jadeite with color but poor quality may look okay at first, but over time, the jadeite with poor quality may mutate, and the original green color may turn yellow.

Buying jade depends on personal financial situation. We all like good things, but we have to pay a good price for them. There is no good thing at a cheap price, and there is no cheap thing at a good price. Whenever you come across jade jewelry that is beautiful but too cheap or priced at a super low discount, you must be vigilant.
