Five details to pay attention to when buying jadeite

Today we will learn about five small details when buying jadeite.

1. How is the size of jade determined?

The processed jade materials are mainly divided into three types: main material, side material and bracelet core material. The main material is like a whole chicken; the core material is chicken breast and chicken legs; the side material is chicken feet, chicken ribs, chicken offal and the like.

The genuine material is usually made into bracelets because it is large and complete; the core material is made into pendants and plaques of about 55 in size; the scraps are usually made into small flower pieces of about 30 in size.

2. How do the prices of different sizes differ?

Made from the same piece of material, the price of a bracelet is about two or three times that of the core material, and the price of the scraps is much lower than that of the core material.

That is to say, the price of jadeite of size 55 with the same quality and color is at least twice that of jadeite of size 30; and the price of a bracelet is about twice that of jadeite of size 55.

3. How is the price of large-sized jadeite determined?

There are many jade pendants in the market with a size of more than 60. Their prices are about twice as high as those of the same quality with a size of about 55, because large-sized jade is mostly carved from genuine materials.

The size of the bracelet center is almost the same as the size of the bracelet ring, but it is still about 2-5mm smaller than the bracelet ring. For a 60mm brand, the bracelet circumference is required to be around 65. Jade bracelets with good quality or color and a circumference of more than 60mm are very rare.

Among high-end products, jadeite larger than 60 in size will not be carved into the center of a bracelet. Since some materials are too small to be made into bracelets, many jade merchants maximize their value and make them into a big brand.

4. Jadeite shape and price

Among the jadeite shapes, the most expensive one is the Wu Shi Pai. When determining the price of jadeite, one must consider the type, water content, color, and degree of perfection of the jadeite as well.

Flaws are factors that affect the price of jade, and are particularly obvious in high-quality jade. Cotton and black spots are easy to deal with, but cracks have a huge impact on the value of jade.

Therefore, those imperfect materials will be carved in order to cover up and remove those impurities and flaws, so that the most perfect materials can be presented to people. Therefore, the more perfect the material is, the higher the price will be.

5. Jadeite Workmanship

"Craftsmanship" occupies an extremely important position in jade, and it is related to the success and quality of jade works.

Moreover, the work can be divided into "carving" and "inlaying". The former is to carve jade materials, and the latter is to repackage the finished jade products. Both have a very important influence on jade works.

Jade carving has always been about "good material and good workmanship", but as jade materials become increasingly expensive, we must change our mindset and make higher-level use of jade materials.

The materials carefully carved by masters are unique. The master elevated jade from a commodity to a work of art. Therefore, the price of such jade will not be low.
