What kind of jade is violet jade?

As we all know, jade actually has more than one color. Although the most common color of jade is green, in addition to green, jade also comes in blue, white, red, black, yellow, purple, etc. What I want to introduce to you today is a kind of jade called violet. So what is violet jade?

The so-called violet jade actually refers to a kind of purple jade. Violet jade is a special variety of jade. The jewelry industry calls violet "Chun" or "Spring Color". The purple color of this kind of jade is generally lighter. "Spring Color" can be divided into three grades: high, medium and low according to its color. They are divided into red spring, purple spring and blue spring. Red spring is more valuable, while purple spring is slightly lower. If you get a strange blue spring, the price change will be more elastic. Although it is not the best, it is a variety that jade collectors are willing to collect.

The purple color of violet jade was introduced in ancient China as the color of Taoism and ancient emperors’ worship. The so-called “purple air coming from the east” and “purple clothes and sash” are a reflection of the status of purple, so purple has become a symbol of mystery, wealth and luxury. Violet jewelry is as purple as smoke and noble as a concubine walking slowly. Perhaps because of this, violet jade jewelry is particularly popular among women in the East and the West. Violet jadeite, when viewed under normal yellow light, will appear a darker purple. When purchasing and collecting, it is best to view it under the natural light of a standard sunny day. Jadeite with fine texture, high transparency and deep purple color is hard to find and is especially favored by Europeans and Americans.

Moreover, violets symbolize eternal beauty. According to legend, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, shed tears on the ground when her lover was going away reluctantly. The tears then sprouted and grew branches in the spring of the following year, and beautiful and fragrant flowers bloomed. These are violets. The mysterious legend created the charming violet, and also gave the violet jade bracelet a mysterious and noble temperament. This icy jade bracelet also presents a violet color and appears crystal clear under the light. It is not difficult to see its inner natural texture, which is natural and orderly, and implicit and restrained.

It should also be noted that the color of violet jade is not just one color, because the purple in violet jade can be strong or weak. The industry divides violet jade into the following tones based on the saturation of purple:

1. Royal Purple: It is also the best color of purple jade. This purple is rich and pure in color, and exudes an elegant and luxurious atmosphere. Since violet jade with this hue is rare and can be said to be hard to come by, this jade is very collectible.

2. Reddish purple: Reddish purple is a color second only to royal purple. Reddish purple is a purple with a jade red hue. Although the color saturation and water head of this type of jade are average, and its transparency is rarely high, it also has a high collection value because of its scarcity.

3. Blue-purple: Blue-purple is a common color in purple jade, which is called eggplant purple in the jargon. The purple is purple with a bluish tone, ranging from light blue-purple to dark blue-purple tones. The color saturation varies, but jade with high saturation tends to be grayish and has average brightness. Blue-purple jade is usually of coarse texture and lower value, and is the least valuable among the many purple jades.
