What is the quality of jadeite? How to check the quality of jadeite: should you look at its type or its color?

The term "condition" is usually used in the collecting world to indicate the degree of integrity of a collectible. For jadeite, appearance refers to the comprehensive score of a piece of jadeite. The word "quality" and "appearance" can be separated into two parts: "quality" and "appearance". The quality of jadeite refers to the type, water content and color of the material itself. The appearance of jade refers to the overall appearance of jade after processing.

Most people who are familiar with the jade industry have heard this saying: experts look at the quality, laymen look at the color. This seems to be saying that the type of jade is more important than its color. This actually makes sense, but it is not absolute. When we buy jade, should we care about the color or the type of jade? This requires specific analysis of specific issues. As of the current situation, colorless jade is more valuable than colored jade without quality. Colored jade without quality means that the color is bright and beautiful but the quality is poor, like Tielong jade. Colorless jade means that the quality is quite good, but the color is not enough or even colorless, such as colorless glass jade. Comparing the two, it is obvious which one looks better.

In fact, people's aesthetic taste is not static. When jade was first introduced to China, people did not actually care about its quality. Instead, they focused on the bright colors of jade. The brighter the color, the highest the value. Nowadays, people are more concerned about the quality of jadeite. Jadeite with good quality has high value and greater potential for value preservation, which means it is more worthy of collection. However, from the perspective of decoration, the brighter the color of jade, the better the decorative effect. This is also the reason why many people are more concerned about the color of jade when buying jade.

Of course, it is best if the jade has both good quality and color. If you cannot have both, then you have to give up something. First of all, you have to understand the purpose of buying jade. If you consider investment and collection, jade with good quality is more valuable and has greater room for appreciation. If it is only for daily wear, you have to choose according to your preferences. If you like bright colors, then choose jade with brighter colors.

The quality of jade covers a wide range, and is mainly considered through five aspects: color, type, water, purity, and workmanship. The selection of jade bracelets also depends on these five aspects. Of course, in many cases, the type of water and purity of the texture can determine the quality of jade. In addition, it is still necessary to consider whether the overall shape proportions of the jade are coordinated, whether the connection between the inside and outside of the jade bracelet is reasonable and regular, whether the bar is too thick or too thin, and other issues.
