6 tips for buying jade bracelets

1. How to choose jade bracelets

1. Look at the color

As we said in yesterday’s article, jade has many colors, including thirty-six waters, seventy-two beans, and one hundred and eight colors. It can be said that there are too many choices. If you are not careful, you may buy worthless jade or fake jade. So how do you choose jade based on its color?

First of all, we need to check whether the color of the jade is pure, rich, and uniform. For example, whether the green is pure and bright, etc. In particular, we must use a strong flashlight to illuminate it, and then see whether there are impurities or defects inside. Let’s take green jade as an example. The fresher the green and the more water it has, the better the quality and the higher the value.

2. See through

The transparency of jade is also very important, which is what we usually call water head. However, jade with good water head is also expensive, so everyone should choose the appropriate water head according to their budget. The higher the transparency and the better the water head, the more expensive the price will be. Everyone should act within their means.

3. Listen to the sound

Listening to the sound is actually judging the tightness of the internal structure of jade from the sound, so as to judge the density of jade. Jade with good density will be smoother and more delicate. So, from the perspective of listening to the sound, if it is dull and there is a dull sound, then the density is not good and the quality will not be good. If the sound is crisp and pleasant, then it means that the density is good and the jade quality will also be good.

4. Jadeite and stone flowers

When observed with a strong flashlight, the interior of the jade will reflect light with flashes due to the presence of other minerals. Similarly, there will be some clumps or blocks of white flowers. This is the so-called jadeite nature and stone flowers. The better the jade, the less of these two phenomena, the higher the quality.

5. Cracks and black spots

After all, jade is formed naturally. Perfect jade is rare and its price is high. So, generally speaking, the jade we see in the cultural relics market has some flaws. We must be able to accept some flaws in jade. When purchasing jade, observe carefully to see if there are cracks or black spots. The fewer these two flaws, the higher the quality.

6. Look at the craftsmanship level

If you are buying a jade carving, you should look at the craftsmanship in terms of the carving lines, subject matter, design, creativity and so on. Even if it is a jade with smooth surfaces that is not carved, you should also look at the cutting technology and the grinding and polishing technology.
