When appreciating jadeite, experts look at the quality while laymen look at the color?

The appreciation of jadeite is divided into two aspects, namely identification and appreciation. Appreciation must be based on a comprehensive understanding of jadeite, and at the same time, it must have considerable artistic appreciation ability.

Jade comes in many different types and colors, but no one can truly understand the true meaning of jade skin. So. Where should we start when appreciating jadeite?

The aesthetic characteristics and three aesthetic elements of jade can be divided into: the beauty of jade quality, the beauty of jade color, and the beauty of jade cut. Removing human factors, the main objects of appreciation are quality and color.

The texture of jade depends on the quality of its grade; the finer and tighter the texture, the more water content and higher the transparency of the jade, the higher its value. As the saying goes, "the more water content, the more expensive it is", this is the truth. Jadeite of good quality is mostly colorless. Jade is a mineral mainly composed of jadeite, which is colorless when its chemical composition is pure. If other elements are mixed into the composition, various colors will be formed.

The reason why jade appears in rich and diverse colors is because it contains coloring elements during its formation. For example, the green color of jade is caused by chromium. When the chromium content is too low, it appears light green. When the chromium content is too high, it appears dark green.

And in the actual formation, due to the complex growing environment, various kinds of green are born, such as imperial green, sun green, onion heart green, hibiscus green, spinach green, bean green and so on.

When describing the color and form of jadeite, words generally used are full color, color gradient, floating green embellishments, etc. The color forms of jadeite are endless, but when a piece of jadeite is full color and evenly lustrous, its overall value will be improved. "A one-point difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price." The more the same color is distributed, the higher the value.

At present, most people have many misunderstandings in jade appreciation. Only by getting rid of these misunderstandings can we better appreciate the beauty of jade.

The more uniform the green, the better

In the market, you can often see some jadeite that is emerald green all over, with bright color and very even distribution. In fact, most of such jadeite is fake.

Only B-grade products have such uniform color

The interior of jade is composed of a collection of granular minerals, so its green color is locally distributed, and there is a boundary between green and non-green.

The green color formed by natural jade is not so uniform, but it is very natural.

The ones that don’t change color are A-grade

Some dyed jade can maintain its bright color for up to 10 to 20 years, while some A-grade jadeite red or jadeite yellow may change color in a relatively short period of time, mainly due to changes in the chemical elements inside the jade.

Although young jade is A-grade jade, it is easy to mutate. Its structure is loose and the liquid adsorbent between the crystal gaps is easy to evaporate, causing it to lose its "water head" and become "dry". On the other hand, old jade bracelets have high density, full water head, strong wear resistance and good durability, and are generally not easy to mutate.

Green jade is good

Emerald green jade is the best quality among A-grade jade, but not all jade is green. There is a kind of jade that forms a bright "jade" color due to the infiltration of iron. Such jade is also very popular in the market if it has high transparency and good texture.
