Help you understand the true value ranking of jadeite!

In the Hetian jade market, there is a saying that has been passed down from ancient times, "One bracelet, two pendants, and three handles" is still remembered by people today. It talks about the ranking of the value of jade articles, with bracelets being the highest, followed by pendants, then handles, and finally pendants; but what is truly recognized by industry insiders is "One article, two bracelets, and three jade pendants."

However, jadeite, the king of jade, has different value rankings for its materials. Although our first reaction when we get the raw stone is whether it can be made into a bracelet, the most precious and valuable part is often whether it can be made into a jade egg-shaped surface.

Therefore, the material value ranking in the jade industry is actually "one egg, two bracelets, and three jade plates".

Jade egg-shaped and ring-shaped faces are the most precious parts of the entire piece of jade material. No matter the water head, color or texture, they are all top-grade and the most essential parts. Only the highest quality raw stones without any flaws or cracks can be made into jade egg-shaped faces, which means that only the best materials can be considered for making egg-shaped faces. The materials used to make egg-shaped surfaces are usually of excellent water and color, and are often hard to come by.

A huge piece of raw stone only produced a small egg-shaped surface, which means that the rest of the stone basically became waste. Therefore, not all materials can be used to make egg-shaped surfaces, and even if non-top-quality materials are used to make egg-shaped surfaces, they will not have that kind of full, watery, and timeless beauty.

The waistline outline of a jade egg-shaped surface should not only be smooth and graceful, symmetrical up and down and left and right, but also have certain proportional elements in length and width. The golden ratio of length and width of a jade egg-shaped surface is 1:0.618. Problems like cracks, white cotton, black spots, etc. are normal minor problems on flower pieces, bracelets, and necklaces, but are considered defects on the egg-shaped surface and will greatly reduce its value.

The small egg noodles may seem simple, but they are actually very rare!

Value judgment: Jade bracelet

Chinese people love bracelets. This tradition has continued from ancient times to the present. For any nation, it can be said to be a miracle that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Some archaeologists said that when viewed from the side, the shape of the bracelet is particularly similar to the dragon in traditional Chinese concepts. There is a related record in ancient books: "The curved bracelet body may be regarded as a symbol of the dragon body."

Oriental women are born to wear jade. On the wrist, jade bracelets always have indescribable grace and temperament, which can be said to be exclusive to oriental beauties.

Not only that, in today's jade industry, the value judgment standard is often based on bracelets. For a piece of jadeite raw stone, we usually prefer to make bracelets, and the success or failure of the gambling is determined by the number of bracelets that can be made. If the material can have some green, the price will increase even higher, but if it cannot be made into a bracelet, we have to consider making something else.

Bracelets have become the most representative and valuable product of jade: for jade, with the same quality and color, bracelets will be much more expensive than other jewelry. It is the most expensive and most valuable item except for ring faces.

The value of the bracelet is so high because of the high requirements for the material of jade bracelets: the volume of the raw stone must be large enough; in addition, the entire piece of material must have no cracks; finally, it is required to have color and water head. Most of them may be able to be made into bracelets, but not many are good ones. Usually, we think that the value of a piece of material is determined by the bracelet!

Some people say that a family will prosper if it has a bracelet. Nowadays, a good jade bracelet is not only a beautiful ornament, but also a family heirloom, representing the prosperity of the family!

Self-cultivation: Jade token

"The Book of Rites: Jade Ornaments" says: "In ancient times, a gentleman must wear jade. A gentleman never leaves jade without a reason." A jade plaque has been carrying the attributes of jade virtues since ancient times, representing the spiritual cultivation of an individual or even a family.

Some people say that creating a unique work of art in a small space of jade carving requires very high standards for both the jade carver and the material: the jade carver's creative skills and cultural accomplishment, carefully carving according to the texture and shape of the jade itself, and polishing out a good jade plaque, is extremely difficult.

Judging from the trend of investment and collection, the collection registration of jade pendants should be ranked after pearl necklaces, because the requirements for the materials of jade pendants are not so strict. However, in fact, flaws and whether the pendant is square and full will affect the value of the jade pendant.

A good jade pendant requires a well-proportioned shape. If it is a figure pendant such as Guanyin or Jade Buddha, it should be kind and wise, with flowing folds and a sense of Wu Dai Dang Feng. If it is a landscape pendant, it should give people a sense of spiritual power of "looking at the landscape, thinking of home"...

Utensils can be used to pay tribute to heaven and country, bracelets can be passed down from generation to generation, and pendants can be used to cultivate one's body and mind! Paying tribute to the extensive and profound jade culture, we can drink tea and talk about jade, appreciate it, and pass it down from generation to generation!
