Do you think that choosing jadeite only depends on its type, water content and color? Don't ignore this detail

Jade, as a fashionable jewelry with oriental charm, has always been popular among people. We all know that type, water, and color are important aspects in judging the quality of jade, or they can be said to be the three most important aspects. But no matter the type, water, color, clarity or ground, they all have one common property. This common property is very important, but it is also easily overlooked, which is "uniformity".

What is uniformity

Homogeneity refers to the property that things have the same composition or structure. The research on the uniformity of jade involves many aspects. Today, the editor will discuss the uniformity of jade with you.

Uniformity of Jade

1. Even planting

Because the coarseness and fineness of grains in different parts of jade are different, differences in species also arise.

The size of jadeite grains and their compactness determine the water head (also known as: transparency) of jadeite. The more uniform the quality of jadeite, the fuller its water head will appear. Conversely, the uniformity of jadeite's quality can also be seen from its water head.

In most cases, the uniformity of the germplasm can be discerned with the naked eye. If the gloss of different parts of a finished jade product is inconsistent, it is ultimately caused by the different coarseness and density of the grains and the unevenness of the combination. It can also be said that it is caused by the unevenness of the species.

For jadeite with good water content, it is easy to tell with the naked eye whether the quality is uniform; however, jadeite with poor water content not only has coarse grains but also a relatively loose structure, which makes it extremely inconvenient to identify with the naked eye.

2. Uniformity of color

1. Uniformity of chromaticity

If there is no color difference in the area where the color is distributed, the uniformity is consistent; otherwise, the uniformity is worse.

2. Area of ​​color distribution

When the distribution area of ​​the same color in a finished jade product reaches 70%-80%, we call such jade full-color jade. Since this kind of full-color jade is extremely rare, its price is also very high.

3. The distribution of hues

Hue refers to the color tendency of the overall appearance of jade. There are many factors that affect the tone, such as impurities, cotton and the influence of various colors. Colorless glass is the most uniform glass type.

Emerald Tone Distribution

1. Surface

Other colors carried on the basis of the main color of the jade surface make the color of the jade change to become darker or lighter, resulting in uneven color of the jade.

2. Inner layer

The more common one is the floating flower jadeite. The common floating flowers are green or blue bands, blocks or clusters. Its impact on the appearance color tone is basically negligible, and it also has a unique beauty.

When we choose jade,

In addition to looking at the species, water, and color,

Also remember to look at the uniformity of the jadeite.

It also plays a vital role in the quality of jadeite.
