The identification method of jadeite, the "seven-word formula" summarized by experts is the essence

As the value of jadeite continues to rise, the jadeite industry today is flooded with all kinds of inferior B-grade and C-grade jadeite. If you want to buy satisfactory jadeite, you must learn certain jadeite knowledge. Today I will tell you the "seven-word formula" for jadeite identification. There is a mantra in the jade industry: color, transparency, uniformity, shape, knocking, and reflection. If "price" is added, it will be more complete.

1. Color:

The first intuitive impression when looking at jade is its color. Beautiful color is the top priority. Currently, the most pleasing color is bright green. Violet, red jade, yellow jade and black jade are also gradually accepted by the public. Although the best color is dark green, if the green is too dark, it will make people feel too dark. In terms of price, full green jadeite is expensive. If you particularly like green, you can settle for the next best thing; jadeite with floating flowers is also good.

2. Transparency:

Transparency has a great impact on the value of jade. Transparent jade gives people a cool feeling, but opaque jade, no matter how green its color is, gives people a feeling that the tone is too dull and lacks vivid beauty. It should be pointed out that, although for most jadeite, the higher the transparency, the better, in fact, some high-grade jadeite with deep green color is difficult to achieve a high degree of transparency due to the influence of the "deep" color.

3. Even:

The uniformity of color is proportional to the value. The price of a jadeite that is entirely green and one that is only partially green can differ by several zeros; the distribution of color also has a great impact; a little green in a conspicuous place is naturally more pleasing than green distributed on the edges.

4. Shape:

Jade is not priced by weight like other gemstones. Its price is determined not only by its color but also by its size and thickness. The larger and thicker it is, the more valuable it is. On the contrary, small and thin jade will be less valuable. In addition, its shape is also very important, because most Chinese people buy jade with the mentality of ensuring safety and avoiding evil. If the appearance of the jade is in the shape of a good luck emblem, like fish (abundance every year), peach (longevity), coins (wealth and treasure), etc., it will be more attractive to jade lovers than ordinary flowers and plants.

5. Knock:

This is a special method for selecting jade bracelets. Good jade will make a crisp sound when knocked. If the jade itself has defects, such as internal cracks, hollowness or partial deterioration, the sound when knocked will be different. It will feel like knocking on rotten cotton, and the sound will become a "crackling" sound. The editor recommends using jadeite to knock jadeite, and using light force.

6. Photo:

Hold up the jade and observe it towards the light, and you can see the color and flaws of the jade at a glance. Sometimes a jade that looks perfect on the surface may have flaws only when you take a photo. In addition, the color distribution can also be seen through the action of lighting.

7. Price:

As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." This is especially true in the jewelry industry. There is absolutely no such thing as buying good goods at a cheap price. Usually, cheap goods are mostly fakes. Therefore, when we buy and sell, we can infer from the high and low prices that good jade cannot be sold at a low price. So when you see a beautiful piece of jade and ask the price, and find that it is very cheap, your first reaction is to think that it has problems. Don't be greedy for cheapness, so as not to be deceived, which will not be worth it.
