How is the collection value of jadeite reflected? Things to note when collecting jadeite

Nowadays, jade is not only a decorative art piece, but also gradually becomes a collectible. More and more people have discovered the extremely high collection value and appreciation potential of jade, and regard jade as an investment item. However, we should know that not all jadeite has collection value. Generally speaking, in order for a jadeite to have enough appreciation space and potential, the quality of jadeite must be much higher than that of jadeite generally used as jewelry, and the requirements for the quality of jadeite will also be more stringent! So, what should we pay attention to when collecting jadeite?

First of all, this jade must be natural Type A jade. Only Type A jade has collection value and appreciation potential. This is because other B and C type jades are made through artificial chemical treatment. After a period of use, they will fade, crack, and other phenomena. Not only will they not appreciate in value, but they will also lose their original value. As a natural jade, the reserves of Class A jade are decreasing year by year in the world, and the quality of Class A jade does not decrease with the passage of time. Therefore, the price of Class A jade will naturally continue to rise.

However, not all Class A jades have collection value and appreciation potential. We also need to further analyze whether the type, water content, and color of each jade are of good quality. Usually, jadeite that can reach collection level must be glass or ice type. Their quality is very fine and their appearance looks very transparent and shiny. In addition, its water head must be long enough to ensure that the jade has sufficient moisture inside, making it look hydrated and vibrant. Finally, the color of jade must meet the four standards of pure, rich, bright and balanced, with pure, rich and bright imperial green being the best.

After that, we have to look at the later processing and carving techniques of jadeite. We must know that in order to make jade look more transparent, many people will grind the jade very thin. Such jade seems to have better water quality, but in fact the quality is not improved at all. Therefore, we'd better choose jade with thicker thickness but still up to the standard of transparency. Jade can have different meanings and cultural connotations by being carved into different patterns. Its collection value will change depending on the different patterns of the jade and the degree of exquisiteness of the carving.
