Color or species? How do you choose when buying jade jewelry?

Many friends ask a question: Is it better to buy jade with a clean and translucent base, or one with a rich green color? Of course, the best choice is jade that is both transparent and colorful, but such jade is extremely expensive. Since "you can't have your cake and eat it too", you have to choose one of them based on your budget and preferences.

How to choose when buying jade jewelry?

There is a popular saying in the jade industry: "Experts look at the quality, laymen look at the color." That is to say, when buying jade, you should first look at the quality and then the color.

You may say that why not just choose the one with relatively better quality, but don’t forget that there is a saying in the jade industry that “one point of color equals ten points of price”. Therefore, there are many different opinions on the praise and evaluation of jadeite!

Speaking of jade types, there are many types of jade, more than 20 in total. The most common ones are generally ranked from high to low: glass type, ice type, hibiscus type, glutinous type, bean type, horse tooth type, dry green type, etc.

Jade comes in many colors. In addition to the rare multi-color and spring-colored jade, the common ones are: green, violet, red jade, yellow jade, black jade, and of course floating flowers and rare pure colors.

In fact, to judge the quality of jade, in addition to its type and color, we must also consider its texture, color, water head, craftsmanship, meaning, etc., and integrate multiple factors. We cannot just compare the type and color.

If you ask me which is more important, the quality or color of jade between two identical pieces, I can only say that if a piece of jade has good quality but no color, it will not look luxurious enough, but if it has good color but no quality, it will not look lively enough. It is best to consider the situation comprehensively. If the price is right, of course you should choose the one that you like more. Jade is spiritual, and fate is very important.

In addition, you need to think about the problem from another angle. How to say it? For example:

There are two bracelets of the same shape, one is green bean-type and the other is violet ice-type. Of course, you know that the violet ice-type is definitely better and more expensive, but you don’t like purple, you like green, but the green bean-type bracelet is not good-looking, so you may not want both; but in another case, if it is green glutinous type and violet ice-type, you may choose the green glutinous type, because you think the green glutinous type is also very good-looking, and you think that it will slowly become more transparent and glutinous and icy as you wear it for a long time.

So there is no single answer to this kind of question, and it depends on the specific problem. Jade is a natural and precious treasure bestowed by nature to mankind. It has a smooth texture, colorful colors, a wide range of uses, and outstanding value. Like other natural gemstones, it enjoys the reputation of "King of Jade". When purchasing, try to consider as many convenient factors as possible within your budget. If you can't, don't worry too much about whether you want the type or the color. Just choose the one you like more, and you'll win!
