Jade is loved by more and more people for its noble color and rich texture. However, the knowledge about jade is profound. So, what kind of jade is good jade and how can we identify it?

1. The color of jadeite

Jade has extremely rich colors. Among the many colors, red, green and purple are the main colors. They are all high-end colors in jade, among which green is the most gorgeous and precious.

The "green" of jadeite fully reflects the charming charm of jadeite and is a very important factor in determining the value of jadeite. What is even more amazing is that these greens come in different shapes, such as ribbon-shaped green; blocks of green of varying sizes and unconnected to each other; silk-like silk-like green; as well as silk-block green, uniform green, skin-closed green, and so on, which makes the green of jade even more unpredictable. In addition, experts often look for the patterns of green changes based on the general direction of green, that is, the direction of green, so as to correctly judge the depth and thickness of green.

2. Look at the water

The color of jade does not exist simply, it is presented through the texture of jade. The first is its transparency. Transparency is the main technical basis for identifying jadeite. The transparency of jade is also commonly known as "water head" or "water". Jade with high transparency is often said to have full water head, good water head, or long water head. The higher the transparency, the better.

According to the difference in water head, those jadeites with full water head, transparent or translucent, are called "old type". The old variety has bright color, the color and the base are integrated, the texture is fine and dense, and the hardness, density and refractive index are all high. Those that are opaque, dry, porcelain-like, have little water, dull luster, and are of poor quality are called "new species". Although the new varieties will also have fresh colors, their tones appear dull due to poor water head. There is also a type between the new and old species called the "new old species".

Three: Look at the subject matter and craftsmanship of the jewelry

Wearing jade has been believed to ward off disasters, avoid misfortunes and protect peace since ancient times. Jade carvings have always been based on people’s ideals and emotions, skillfully combining images of animals or plants, and carving them on jade in concrete or abstract ways. For example, bats represent "happiness"; cranes and sika deer represent "longevity"; bamboo represents "progress step by step"; scorpions and tigers represent "avoiding evil", etc. These clever combinations have formed a special jade carving culture. Without exquisite skills, patience and wisdom, it is impossible to create ideal jewelry with spiritual energy. Common carving techniques include bas-relief, high relief, openwork carving, round carving, and line carving. Finely carved jade jewelry can fully express various emotional needs and is the best gift for relatives and friends.

Jade jewelry, which is full of spiritual energy, needs careful care and maintenance. Although it is very hard, it is afraid of hard bumps and collisions. It is not afraid of water and oil, but it cannot come into contact with strong acids and alkalis. The best way to maintain it is to wear it at all times and use body temperature and moisture to moisturize it. If you are lucky, it may grow some green, which was not very green or had little green originally, and surprise you.
