The value of jadeite depends on these four points. You must know this, right?

Jade has always been a luxury item that dominates the jewelry world and is loved by people. So today, let’s talk about why jade has such great charm from the four aspects of “craftsmanship, charm, evidence, and tradition”.

We know that the appreciation of jade is generally from an aesthetic perspective. Aesthetics is a spiritual activity, which is reflected by the inner emotions and will of the person who appreciates it. However, it is also formed by acquired factors such as the social experience of the person who appreciates it. Therefore, aesthetics is very subjective. Everyone's aesthetic senses are different, so everyone's aesthetic style of jade is also different.

However, does the value of jade depend solely on such subjective personal factors? Of course not. In addition to appreciating jade from the perspectives of its quality, water color and other aspects, which are known to people in the industry, there is also what I want to talk to you about today, which are the four aspects of "craftsmanship", "rhythm", "evidence" and "transmission".

The craftsmanship of jadeite

The craftsmanship of jade has always been an important factor in determining its value. “Three parts material and seven parts craftsmanship” can explain how important the craftsmanship of jade is. There are two types of "craftsmanship" in jade: one is carving and the other is inlaying. Carving refers to the carving technique, which is a skill that every jade carver must practice.

Carving is the process of processing and modifying a piece of jadeite raw stone from its natural state into a jadeite work. In this process, the designer's imagination and the sculptor's skills must be integrated to make a piece of natural jade present its ultimate beauty. If the carving is done by a master, then the value will be higher and it will have more collectible potential.

The "inlay" of jade can be likened to "the exquisite packaging of jade". If the inlay is done well, the overall beauty of jade will be taken to a higher level. The charm of loose stones combined with the inlaid materials is the icing on the cake and adds icing on the tiger's wings.

The position of the inlay is also very important. The auxiliary materials used in the inlay must not cover the original brilliance of the jadeite, and it must also be able to present a complementary effect to maximize the beauty of the jadeite.

The charm of jade

The "charm" of jade refers to a kind of charm and artistic conception, or it can be said to be a state of mind. In this realm, the overall appearance of jade gives people not only its scenery, but also the artistic realm in which there is emotion in the scenery, and scenery in the emotion, and the emotions and scenery blend together.

"Rhythm" can express the creator's "intention", that is, the jade carver can express his mood through his works and imply artistic conception in his works. Therefore, the more charm and artistic conception a work has, the more worth collecting it is.

Jade’s “Certificate”

The certificate of jade refers to the various certificates of jade. When purchasing jade, it is best to purchase a certificate with authoritative appraisal. Although people’s aesthetic tastes for jade may vary, the authenticity of jade must be clearly distinguished. Only real natural jade has the value for us to appreciate and analyze, while if it is B-grade or C-grade jade, it has no value at all.

The Legend of Jade

The legend of jade refers to the inheritance of jade, that is, the cultural value of jade. We all know that jade culture in China has a long history and origins and has been passed down for a long time. The culture of jade is not only jade itself, but also the jade carving culture that arises from it, which also has a long history.

If an exquisite jade carving is endowed with humanistic and artistic value, then it is not just a piece of handicraft, but also has artistic and cultural value.
