Protecting property is important. Which is more suitable as a family heirloom, jade or gold?

From ancient times to the present, wealthy families have heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation, carrying the family's glory, honor and emotion. Precious treasures will not only not depreciate over time, but will become more and more precious. If they encounter war or disaster, they can also become a magic weapon to save the family. So what is the most suitable heirloom?

Why is jade suitable as an heirloom?

Paintings and calligraphy are easily damaged, and porcelain is easy to break. Only jade is a very small but very valuable jewelry. A full green bracelet is often worth millions or even tens of millions, and a good ring face is also worth hundreds of thousands to millions. Therefore, it is very suitable for collection and value preservation. If you are going on a long journey or moving, you can just wear it on your hand and go around without any special transportation. It is very convenient.

In fact, gold is another small and high-value asset, but gold is relatively eye-catching. Moreover, if you wear jade, people will think you are elegant, but if you wear a big gold chain, people will just think you are a nouveau riche. Therefore, jade is relatively more low-key. Moreover, in the whole world, only Myitkyina in northern Myanmar produces gem-grade jadeite, and the mining areas are gradually becoming exhausted, and good jadeite is becoming less and less. If you collect a piece of fine jadeite, it can not only decorate yourself, but also allow your descendants to own a rare treasure.

What should jade that can be used as an heirloom look like?

Jade prices range from low to high. What kind of jade is worth collecting and passing down from generation to generation? Here are some purchasing rules to pay attention to:

1. Excellent water quality

Jadeite that can be used as heirlooms must have a water quality of ice type or above. If it is colorless, the best water quality is ice glass type or glass type. Such jadeite looks crystal clear and has a lustrous and shiny jewelry feel. If it is old pit type jadeite, it is even better. Old pit type jadeite is particularly full of water and has good texture, which can make the jadeite appear more spiritual.

2. Bright colors

The green color of jade is naturally very valuable. If you collect green jade, it must be bright and vivid, without gray or blue tones. The color needs to be evenly distributed. The more green it is, the higher the value will be.

However, the color of jade is ever-changing, and green is not necessarily the only good color. If it is chicken-oil yellow, yellow and green, spring color, etc. with good water quality, they can all be used as family heirlooms. If you can collect colorful jade, it will be even more precious. Colorful jade is suitable for clever carving. It not only has the value of jade itself, but also with the blessing of famous artists, it will make the value of jade even higher.

3. Thick and full

The shape of jade is also very important. Jade that reaches the level of heirloom must not have any cracks and must be highly perfect so that it can withstand the test of time and not lose its value. The size also needs to be thick and full, not thin or crooked. If the shape of the jade is distorted, no matter how good the color is, it will not be worthy of being displayed in elegant halls. It is not only unsightly, but also reduces its value.

4. Smart charm

Beautiful stones can sing, and charming jade can also speak. Jade is loved by everyone to a large extent because good quality jade has a special spirituality that makes people happy at first sight. In addition to the beauty of jade itself, good carving can also make jade more lively. If it is a fine jade carved by a famous master, with exquisite design and wonderful humanistic value, it will also make jade more of a family heirloom.
