What knowledge do you need to collect jade?

1. Understand the origin of jadeite

Just like there are “authentic medicinal herbs”, jadeite also has its own place of origin. About 95% of the jadeite on the market is produced in Myanmar. So is jadeite only produced in Myanmar? Of course not. There are about 5% of jadeite produced in other regions, but the quality of jade is far inferior to Burmese jadeite. Therefore, jadeite collection should preferably be from Myanmar.

2. How to choose jadeite

1. To make sure that the jade is real and not counterfeit with other things, this mainly depends on the jade testing certificate for identification.

2. Look at the texture. The price of jadeite with too mixed and impure texture is usually not too high. Texture is often the key to determining the value of jadeite. Therefore, jadeite collectors must develop a good skill in selecting jadeite.

3. Look at the jade carving. If the texture is the "base color" of jade, then the carving is its "makeup". Exquisite carving can give jade new vitality.

3. The meaning of jade

People like to give certain symbolic meanings to beautiful things. The name "Jade" was originally just a kind of bird. This bird has various colors - yellow, green, purple, and red, similar to the jadeite jade. 'Cui' represents green jadeite stone, and 'Fei' represents purple, red, and yellow jadeite stone. Jade has auspicious meanings in itself, and it also emphasizes that "the craftsmanship must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious."

4. Identification of Jadeite

Jade is of noble value. Some unscrupulous merchants may use other similar stones to fill the gap. In order to avoid being fooled, everyone should know how to distinguish between jade and jadeite. Jadeite, also known as jadeite, is a kind of green marble, quartzite, etc. Anything green that is close to gemstone can be called jadeite, but jadeite is not the same as jadeite, the two are not at the same level at all.

5. How to maintain jadeite

Jade is a kind of jade artifact, but also a fragile item, so you need to put a piece of cloth under it when appreciating it, in order to prevent it from being broken or damaged, otherwise you cannot account for the consequences. When collecting jade, make sure to place it in a safe place to avoid bumps and scratches. Don't wear it often, otherwise excessive sweat evaporation will affect the charm of the jade.

In short, if you want to collect jadeite, it is best to master some relevant knowledge in every detail. Nowadays, the market price of jadeite is increasing every year. If the texture and carving are both excellent, its price will be high enough.
