What kind of jade is good?

There are so many types of jade that many people are overwhelmed and don’t know which type of jade is of good quality. The transparency, structural structure, base quality, color, design and craftsmanship of jade all determine its value, which in turn affects its grade classification. Therefore, we roughly divide jade into three different grades.

The first-class quality jadeite has a uniform, even and pure green color, with imperial green, emerald green, apple green and yellow vine green being the most common. Even if it is not jade and is not green, its other colors are pure and uniform. Especially the products that integrate "color" and "base" are priceless and not affordable for ordinary people.

The color of second-level quality jade is mostly pure green, with a relatively uniform color and moderate depth. Occasionally, small amounts of darker green stripes, patches, and spots can be seen on the jade. Bright, smooth, shiny and beautiful green ones are rare. Therefore, the price of second-grade jadeite is not that high.

The third-grade quality jade has uneven color, with different shades of light and dark distributed separately. The color blocks appear diffuse, independent and separated. In addition, third-grade jadeite also has white or other colors, which are irregularly distributed on the body in the form of scattered points, strips, patches, and color blocks and color ranges.

Therefore, when we evaluate the value of grade 3 jadeite, the color size, thickness, volume proportion, etc. are all important criteria.

In addition to quality grading, jadeite color also has a general grading standard. Generally speaking, imperial green jadeite is the best variety of jadeite. It has high-quality color and is a scarce resource in the market. Imperial green jadeite perfectly meets the standards of "thick, bright, positive, bright and uniform", so its price is very expensive.

We can usually only see it at auctions. The colors of jade are not only green, but also white, black, red, yellow, purple, etc.

Therefore, if we classify jadeite based solely on its color, we can start from the following levels.

The basic criteria for judgment are "thick, positive, bright and uniform". Among the different color systems, the green color, which is most widely recognized by the market, is given priority, followed by purple, and then red and yellow jadeite. The value of white jadeite needs to be estimated by judging its specific type. Different people have different understandings of the color of jade. Choosing the jadeite you like is the best.

In addition to color, we also need to observe the flaws of jade. Jade products with fewer black spots, white cotton and cracks are expensive, have great appreciation potential and are worthy of collection. The valuation principles for jadeite are also diversified. Observing the color, transparency, uniformity, shape and sound of jadeite is the way most people appreciate or evaluate jade. Jade can be roughly divided into glass type, ice type, ice glutinous type, gold wire type, oily green type, flower green type, glutinous type, and bean type.

Among them, glass-type and ice-type jade are the best quality. They are full of water and good transparency, and are treasures among jade. The denser the crystal structure inside the jade, the better its texture and the higher its transparency. Glass jade is a type of jadeite with high transparency and dense structure. Finally, the carving of jade is also one of the important bases for rating jade products. The quality of the carving and the symbolic meaning of the pattern both affect the price of jadeite. If the quality of the jade products is similar, the ones with round polishing, large size and moderate thickness will be more valuable. The status of jadeite in Chinese culture cannot be easily replaced, so there is no distinction between noble and humble jade, it is people's hearts that have their own distinctions.
