“Gold is easy to get, but jade is hard to find.” How to choose suitable fine jade?

“The most beautiful stone is jade” and “Gold is easy to get, but jade is hard to find”. People from ancient times to today have loved, appreciated and worn jade, and the Chinese are particularly fond of jadeite. In addition to its cultural connotations, the translucent and opaque characteristics of jadeite also coincide with the reserved and introverted character of the Chinese.

As the saying goes, "Gold has a price but jade is priceless." The quality of jade varies greatly, and many factors can determine its ultimate value. A good finished jade product can be judged comprehensively from several aspects including color, transparency, texture, clarity, and craftsmanship!

color

Color is the most important factor in evaluating jadeite. There is a saying in the industry that "if the color is 10% higher, the price will be ten times higher." The most valuable color of jade is green.

transparency

The transparency of jade is called "water head" in the jade industry. High transparency, also known as "full water head" or "long water head". All else being equal, the greater the transparency, the greater the value.

texture

The texture of jade is an appearance characteristic determined by factors such as the particle size and uniformity of the jade minerals that make up the jade. The smaller the mineral particles of jade, the finer the texture and the higher the value.

Clarity

The clarity of jade is determined by the number and size of its flaws (cracks, stone patterns, stone flowers, etc.) and other factors that affect its beauty. In most cases, stone patterns and stone flowers often appear in jade, which is also one of the identification characteristics of natural jade. Extremely pure jade is very rare and therefore more valuable.

Technology

The subject design, cutting proportions, carving techniques and finished product effects of jade also have a certain impact on the value of jade. Generally speaking, jadeite with clear themes, auspicious meanings, proper proportions and good polishing is more valuable.

Jade is not only a kind of jewelry, but also a carrier of traditional jade culture. Natural fine jade is very valuable, and many people can only sigh in despair. Therefore, the small fine jadeite with reasonable prices in the market, with its unique design and wearing effect, seems to be able to better meet the needs of most people, and is thus welcomed and favored by more and more people.
