What does the single and double sides of jade mean?

There are many jade pendants on the jade market, including jade Guanyin, jade Buddha and jade landscape pendants, etc. If we observe carefully, we will find that jade pendants are not only diverse in styles, but they are also divided into single-sided and double-sided. A single-sided jade pendant has one flat side and the other side raised with carved patterns, while a double-sided jade pendant has two raised sides, both of which are carved with patterns or lines. What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided carved jade jewelry?

1. Different prices

First of all, from the perspective of consumers, we will definitely pay attention to the price of jade jewelry first. Generally speaking, if jade jewelry is double-sided, the price will definitely be higher than that of single-sided. Because both sides need to be carved, the processing of double-sided jade jewelry will be more complicated, which not only increases the processing flow, but also places higher requirements on the jade raw materials.

For single-sided jade jewelry, as long as the side with the carved pattern is of high quality, it does not matter if there are some harmless flaws on the back. However, for double-sided jade jewelry, both sides must be of high quality.

Some double-sided jade jewelry has both sides exactly the same, while others have the two sides slightly different. Jade carvers will design them based on the jade material, so the design process also takes more time and effort. In addition, the back of a single-sided carved jade jewelry is flat, and uses less material. If it is double-sided carved, both sides are convex, and more material is used.

2. Different comfort levels

Single-sided jade jewelry has a flat side, so it is more comfortable to wear. However, when we hold jade jewelry in our hands and play with it, double-sided jade jewelry will feel better. If we put jade jewelry on the outside of clothes, double-sided ones will be more beautiful.

In terms of cleaning and maintenance, double-sided jade jewelry is definitely more troublesome to maintain because there are patterns carved on both sides. If the patterns are complicated, it is easy to hide dirt and grime. After wearing for a long time, it will be more complicated to clean.

3. Different meanings

In fact, in terms of meaning, there is not much difference between double-sided jade jewelry and single-sided jade jewelry with the same theme. But as I just said, the patterns carved on both sides of some double-sided jade jewelry will be slightly different, so its meaning will be richer. If the styles are the same, there is no difference in the meaning between single-sided jade jewelry and double-sided jade jewelry, so there is no need to worry too much.
