How to choose jadeite

In order to choose good jadeite, you need to master some details of selecting jadeite. Whether a piece of jadeite is good or not depends on the judgment of the details such as the type, water, color, craftsmanship, flaws, size and so on.

2. Look at the water head of jadeite

The "water" of jade refers to its "transparency", which is usually described in the industry as "a few points of water". To put it simply, it means how transparent the jade is under normal light. "Seed" and "water" are usually linked together, generally referred to as "seed water". Therefore, we often hear experts say that this piece of jade has "good water quality" or "poor water quality" and other jargon.

Under normal circumstances, "quality and water" are interactive relationships, that is, jadeite of good quality has sufficient water content, and jadeite of poor quality has poor water content.

The water head of jade is also very important. Jade with good water head gives people a feeling of transparency and lustre, while jade with poor water head has larger stone texture, is relatively dull, and lacks agility.

3. The color of jadeite

A one point difference in color means a 10-fold difference in price.

Jade has main colors such as red, yellow, blue, green, black and purple. These colors will produce some corresponding colors, so the color of jade is diverse. Among these diverse colors, green is generally the best, followed by purple, red, and yellow. Among every color, the best one is the one that is “rich, foreign, pure, bright and uniform”.

But I want to tell you that although jade comes in all kinds of colors, the price of colored jade raw materials is generally very expensive. Therefore, sometimes you don’t need to consider too much about the presence or absence of color, the amount of color, and the quality of the color.

4. Jade craftsmanship

Good craftsmanship can greatly increase the added value of jade. Some top-quality jade materials do not require carving, and such jade is also very valuable. For carvings, which mainly include pendants, ornaments and the like, carving is also an important factor that you need to consider.

5. Defects

Although it is said that beautiful jade is flawless, it still depends on what kind of flaws it has. What I want to tell you is that some flaws are natural signs of jade, but some flaws will seriously affect the value of jade, such as cracks, black spots, etc. However, these all require a specific look at the jade.
