How to measure the value of jade without a fixed price?

Jadeite has no fixed price. How to measure the value of jadeite? This question is probably a question that many friends who have just come into contact with jade or do not understand jade are very curious about. “Gold has a price, jade is priceless” shows that the value of jade has always been a variable, and there are many factors that affect the price.

Everyone should know that the price of gold is based on gram and purity. The price per gram is basically certain. Jade is different. The price of jade is usually not clearly marked. So how do we determine its price? Let’s briefly analyze it with you below.

The value of jade is determined by its quality. The price of jade with good quality will be high, and the price of jade with poor quality will be low. How do we determine the quality? The value of jade is determined by its type, water, color, base, and workmanship, which is the value of the final product.

Let’s talk about the type of jade first. The type is the basis of jade quality. Jade with good type will make the finished product look very bright and have a strong glassy luster. Jade with poor type can show the texture and the base will be dirty. Jade with good type will be very valuable even if it has no color. Even if poor quality jade has color, its value will not be high, because the quality of jade is very important. Imperial Green is a type of jadeite with both excellent water and color. Iron Dragon and Dry Green are both representatives of jadeite with color but no quality. The quality of the quality leads to a huge difference in value. Therefore, when measuring the value of a piece of jade, the quality of the jade is very important.

Water refers to the transparency of jadeite. Generally, jadeite of good quality will have better water content. The finished products made from jadeite raw stone with good water content look crystal clear, which is just a visual effect. The water content of black jadeite and old blue jadeite is very old, but the water content is very short, which has a different "flavor".

Color can be divided into many kinds, green, violet, red jade, yellow jade, black, blue (base color) and other major color systems, each major color system will have many shades. In short, there are many kinds of jade colors. Among the green colors, the imperial green is the most valuable. Bingyang Green, Yang Green, Huangyang Green, Fruit Green, etc. are all very valuable. The color material emphasizes "rich, positive, bright and even". The color is rich, positive and not evil, bright and even, etc. are all used to evaluate the color material. Just like the egg-shaped imperial green, the pendant has excellent water quality and color, so the value will naturally be very high.

The bottom refers to the base of the jadeite raw stone. It is a whole, including the cotton, impurities, etc. inside the jadeite raw stone. A clean bottom means that the jadeite raw stone is very clean, without impurities, dirt, and the cotton is invisible to the naked eye. This kind of jade is of better quality. The base of jadeite raw stones of poor quality must be dirty. For finished products, the cleanliness of the base is very important and affects the value.

Gong means carving. A piece of jadeite raw stone will eventually be made into a finished product. If a good piece of jadeite raw stone is not carved well, its value will certainly be less than the value of the material. If the carving is good, the value will increase several times, which is normal. Good carving will definitely give people a different visual effect, artistic conception, etc. in appearance. The details will definitely be handled well. The quality of the carving can bring out the maximum value of the material.

For jadeite raw stones, type, water, color, bottom, cracks, etc. are important factors in judging its value. For finished products, the quality of the carving is also important. Of course, this is just the basics. The most important thing is to understand the basic knowledge of jadeite, and finally combine it with the current jade market conditions. Because the jade market situation is constantly changing, the value will definitely change with market conditions.
