Do you know how to choose a jade bracelet heirloom?

Whether in TV dramas or in real life, people often treat jade bracelets as heirlooms, passing them down to their daughters or daughters-in-law, and passing them down from generation to generation in the extended family. This is because jade bracelets are the most valuable of all jade collections and have the greatest potential for appreciation. However, the premise is that there is no problem with the bracelet itself. So, how should you choose a jade bracelet as a family heirloom?

First of all, you need to observe the base of a bracelet as a whole.

When evaluating the quality of a bracelet's base, you can't just look at its green part. The base is a part of the bracelet that cannot be ignored. As the saying goes, "There is water wherever there is a dragon." The green part is better than the base without color. It is not enough to just look at whether a bracelet has color. Two bracelets with the same color can have a price difference of many times due to their different bases. Moreover, some bracelets may have defects such as cotton and scraps on the base, which will greatly reduce their value.

Secondly, look at the shape of the jade bracelet.

Heirloom jade bracelets of the same type and color will have different prices due to their different widths. Generally speaking, wider materials have higher prices. In addition, high-end jade bracelets must be thicker and fuller. In addition, the circumference is also very important. For jade bracelets of the same type and color, the larger the circumference, the higher the price. As a family heirloom bracelet, it is generally not worn often, so the circumference can be adjusted according to your hand. If you have more financial resources, try to choose a slightly larger one. But if you need to wear it frequently, you must choose a suitable circumference and don’t be too big. Generally speaking, a jade bracelet that can be worn when your hands are wet is of the right size; otherwise it will be too large.

Round bar and flat bar refer to the shape of the cross-section of the jade bracelet, round and imperial concubine shape refer to the shape of the front of the jade bracelet, and carved and plain refer to the shape of the surface of the heirloom jade bracelet. When experts refer to the thickness of the jadeite edge, they are referring to the width of the wall of the jadeite bracelet. It should be noted that most carved jade bracelets have cracks or other obvious flaws that need to be modified by carving. They look beautiful, but they are relatively large flaws and are not worth collecting.

Then, the most important point is the color of the bracelet.

When looking at the color, we need to consider the amount of color. A little color and a large section of color, a full green jade bracelet and a section of green jade bracelet will have a big difference in price. Secondly, we need to look at the intensity of the color. Colors of different intensities will have a big difference in price. Thirdly, we need to look at the brightness or darkness of the color. Bright colors will be very expensive, while relatively dull colors will be much cheaper. In addition to the above three points, the convergence and dispersion of colors is a problem that is easy to overlook. The price of a bracelet will differ greatly if the colors are concentrated or scattered and dotted.

At the same time, the prices of different types can be very different.

For example, a full green jade bracelet may only be worth 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, but an icy green jade bracelet can cost hundreds of thousands. Of course, an icy full green jade bracelet can cost as much as millions or even tens of millions. Jade that appears flawless on the surface may very well be of poor quality. It is not easy to see the problems inside the jade, and it is easy to make mistakes when purchasing it. The better the quality of the jade, the clearer the interior, and the more obvious the cracks and other phenomena are. Broken strands are the most taboo problem for bracelets. Bracelets with serious breakage problems have unclear knocking sounds and are prone to breaking during wear.
