Beginners should pay attention to the selection of jadeite, the quality, water and color are both indispensable. Please check the purchase guide

Many novices will face this problem when choosing jadeite: how should they start? How should I judge the value of this jade? I want to buy but I’m afraid of being ripped off and I don’t know where to start. In fact, there are some rules for selecting jadeite. Even a novice must follow these rules to help you make a preliminary identification. First, let’s look at the color. The color of jadeite is the richest among many jades, and can be roughly divided into green, yellow, red, etc.

If we divide it into details, there may be a myriad of colors in social situations. Judging from current aesthetic values, green is the most expensive. Of course, there are still many colors. Violet clear water is also a popular mainstream color and is very expensive. Generally speaking, jadeite that is green, gray, or dull in color is less valuable. This mainly depends on the saturation, uneven color distribution, and problems such as being too dark or too light.

The second step is to look at the swelling. Jade types are generally divided into glass type, ice type and so on. The better quality jade has a fine, uniform and translucent texture, and appears particularly spiritual. The drier ones have a rougher texture and lower transparency, making them look very dull. Like those pure and flawless old pit glass types, even if they have no color, they are still very high-end fine jadeite. Anyway, no matter how good the color is, if the water quality is poor and the water head is short, it is also a very ordinary ornament.

The third way is to look at the land. In fact, what people generally refer to as land is the foundation. Look at the crystal structure of jadeite, it is unevenly arranged, the texture is relatively fine, the particles are also very fine, and it feels round and smooth. The ones with a rougher texture feel rougher and have larger particles. If the base is good, the texture is very fine, and the color is just right, then the price will be more expensive.

Finally, it’s time to look at the craftsmanship of the jade. A good designer can bring a broken jade back to life. A bad craftsman can ruin a good piece of material. The craftsmanship depends on whether the design is clever enough and whether the pattern and color are perfect enough. The quality of carving craftsmanship directly affects the price at which jade is sold. No matter how good the jade is, if the craftsmanship is not good, it can only be said to be a waste of the jade.
