Jade egg-shaped face is expensive, but it is worth it

Which material of jade is the most difficult to obtain? The answer is egg noodles. Because the materials of jade eggs are extremely demanding, they usually have to be colorless or full of color and the color and water content must reach a certain level. As for jade, not to mention the scarcity of high-quality jade with superior water content, it also requires pure full color. You can imagine how difficult it is. For a set of egg-shaped jades, they must come from the same piece of raw material, so the jade material must be large enough. Currently, the highest-selling items in jade auctions are often large necklaces and sets of jewelry inlaid with large egg-shaped gemstones made from the same piece of raw material.

What kind of jade egg-shaped face is the most expensive?

In terms of craftsmanship, the waistline outline of the jade egg-shaped surface must not only have smooth and graceful curves, and be symmetrical up and down and left and right, but also have certain proportional elements in length and width. The golden ratio of the length and width of the jade egg-shaped surface is 1:0.618.

In addition, there are certain requirements for the shape of the arc surface and bottom surface of the jade egg-shaped surface. The height of the arc surface must be able to meet the requirement of a round and full appearance of the ring surface, that is, there is also a certain proportional relationship between the thickness and width of the egg-shaped surface.

Therefore, the processing technology of egg noodles must be precise and detailed to present the ultimate beauty of egg noodles.

Jade egg-shaped surfaces can be divided into three types: double convex, flat bottom and hollow bottom. The egg shape of a double-convex jade egg is the fullest, followed by a flat bottom. The hollow bottom is used for materials with poor quality and transparency. For a high-standard double-convex jadeite egg-shaped egg-shaped surface, the front side must be bulged larger and the back side must also be bulged, which is called a loach back. This method can make the color on the back of the jade egg-shaped surface more reflected to the front side, commonly known as color gathering. For materials with good water quality, this way of using the internal reflection of light can also produce a sheen effect. If the bulge on the front side is not large, it will weaken the color of the egg surface.

1. Positive and uniform color

The most taboo thing about egg-shaped jade is color variation. Even if the quality of the jade is very good, the color may be uneven or even patterned. Such egg-shaped jade is slightly inferior to egg-shaped jade with the same quality, texture and uniform color, and has less room for appreciation. Therefore, when purchasing, you should pay attention to whether the color distribution is pure and uniform.

The most common colors of egg-shaped jade are green and colorless and transparent. Red and yellow jade are rare, and there are basically no floating flowers. The choice of color is mainly based on personal preference, but from a professional point of view, the egg-shaped surface of Zhengyang Green has the greatest appreciation potential.

2. Good water quality

From the perspective of jadeite collection, jadeite egg-shaped pieces with translucent and lustrous texture are relatively more valuable. Some jade cabochons have very good water quality when they are loose stones, but become dull after being set. This is because the loose jade has a large light reflection area, which gives people a more radiant feeling. However, after being set, the light reflection area is reduced, and it is not as dazzling as in the loose stone state. Therefore, when purchasing, you might as well choose the finished inlaid product directly to avoid the contrast effect.

3. Few defects

In terms of material selection, the requirements for making jade egg-shaped surfaces are higher than those for making other jade products. Problems such as cracks, white cotton, and black spots are normal on flower pieces, bracelets, and necklaces, but are considered defects on egg-shaped surfaces. In this regard, please pay more attention when purchasing.

4. Look at the size

When the quality of jade egg-shaped surfaces is almost the same, you should try to choose a larger one according to your ability. Egg-shaped noodles that are large in size and bright in color are very rare. Scarcity makes them valuable, and there will be great room for appreciation in value in the future.

5. Look at the shape

The shape of the egg-shaped nacre is easily overlooked by jade lovers when collecting egg-shaped nacres, but it is a very important factor in egg-shaped nacre collection. Collection-level jade egg-shaped faces are required to be full and round. Such jade egg-shaped faces are beautiful and made of thick materials. Compared with egg-shaped faces that are not full and relatively thin, their price is several times lower.

As you can imagine, a small egg-shaped jadeite has to go through many careful selections and complicated polishing processes from material collection to formation. Although its shape is simple and small, it is the result of "taking the essence and removing the dross" of each piece of jade. This is also the source of its high price.
