These jadeite purchasing points are obviously very important, why are they always overlooked?

When it comes to appreciating jadeite, everyone will think of its type, water, color, workmanship, etc. These are actually old news, but there are more things to pay attention to when appreciating jadeite. Today, Hai Xin will tell you about these easily overlooked characteristics of jadeite.

The shape of jade

Many people ignore the shape of jade. In fact, the shape of jade is very important. Many jades that look the same also have different shapes. For example, jade bracelets all look round, but in fact they come in many shapes.

The one with a round inner and outer circle is the jadeite blessing bracelet, the one with a round outer and flat inner circle is the jadeite peace bracelet, and the one with an overall oval shape is the jadeite imperial concubine bracelet. When the quality is similar, the value of jadeite bracelets in different shapes are also different.

The importance of jade shape is more obvious on the ring face. The price of a ring with a full egg-shaped face will be dozens of times higher than most of the irregular shaped ring faces. Only eggs that are full and round enough are worth collecting. For every cent thicker the egg-shaped face is, the price will directly double.

If a piece of jade jewelry is full, round, regular and symmetrical in shape, its value will indeed be much higher than regular models, but many consumers ignore the importance of jade shape.

Uniformity of Jade

Many people do not pay much attention to the uniformity of jade, and many people don’t even know that jade also requires uniformity. In fact, the uniformity of jade involves many aspects, such as color uniformity.

Although floating flower jade and floating color jade are also very popular, their value is not as good as full color jade. Full color jade is jade with very uniform color, such as full green jade, which is particularly valuable.

The color distribution should be uniform, and the tone should also be uniform . If the green color of different parts of a full green jadeite is too different, such as dark green on the right and light green on the left, even though the entire piece of jadeite has green distributed, it will look uneven.

In addition to the uniformity of color, jade also pays attention to the uniformity of its quality. If the grain size of different parts of jade is different, differences in quality will occur. The quality and water of jade complement each other and there is no possibility of peeling off. The size and compactness of jade grains determine its transparency.

The transparency of jade can be analyzed from two aspects: internal transparency and surface gloss. If you find that the transparency of different parts of the jade is different, or the gloss difference is quite large, then its quality is uneven.

Ice jade and glass jade are relatively transparent, so if their quality is uneven, it is easier for us to observe them. However, glutinous jade and bean jade are difficult to detect because of their low transparency.

Light Selection

Don't look at jade without sunshine. When we buy jade, we also pay attention to the light. Some people believe that jade must be observed under natural light to see its truest side, so you must buy jade on a sunny day.

This makes sense to a certain extent, but it is also somewhat one-sided. We wear jade on more than one occasion, so what effect the jade will show under the light is also what we need to pay attention to. After all, many important occasions are indoors, not under natural light.

If we want to see a more realistic effect of jade, we can choose the time between 9 and 11 o'clock. During this time period, the light is sufficient, but not too dazzling. We can observe it indoors first, and then take it outdoors for observation.

Buying jade is indeed not an easy task. After all, jade is of relatively high value. If we make the wrong choice, it will bring us great losses. These seemingly unimportant details are actually worthy of our attention. Please pay more attention next time.
