Jade identification, the distance between a novice and an expert is just a few words, understand it and then practice

For new players who have just entered the jade industry, it is important to read more and learn more. It is also important to absorb the experience summarized by others, carefully study it, understand it thoroughly, and use it for one's own benefit.

Here we have to mention the "jade jargon". These jargons have accumulated the wisdom and experience of our predecessors. If they can be used reasonably when purchasing jade, they can help you avoid detours and buy jade that is worth the money. Today, let’s learn some common “jade jargon”.

No Cotton, No Jade

Many people always have a misunderstanding that jade without cotton is the best, just like glass-type jade with extremely high transparency. But in fact, "cotton" is a natural sign of jade, and cotton is not entirely a flaw of jade. As the saying goes, "no cotton, no jade." Cotton is a unique structure of jade. In recent years, jade with snowflake cotton characteristics has been very expensive and has become a popular type of jade.

No tufts, no covering of flowers

Jadeite that is naturally beautiful, free of cracks, impurities and flawless is mostly expensive. If a piece of raw jade is truly flawless, it does not require excessive carving or modification.

Those jades with intricate carvings must have been created by jade carvers who cleverly conceived them based on the actual conditions of the original stones, turning decay into magic and turning the imperfections of jade into advantages, thus doubling its value.

Don't look at color under the lamp

Light has a certain color. When observing jadeite under the light, the color of the jadeite will have a large deviation, just like "the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror", and it is difficult to see the true color. Therefore, it is common sense to identify jadeite under natural light.

Similar principles include: don’t look at the species through light (don’t look at the species with transmitted light, use reflected light instead of transmitted light), don’t look at the water on a black background (don’t look at the water on a black background, look at the cotton), don’t look at the cotton on a white background (the white cotton inside cannot be seen clearly on a white background, you have to look at the color)

One color difference means double the price

This sentence reveals the importance of color to jade, and also shows the huge difference in the value of jade. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Under the condition of the same quality, the price of jadeite with bright colors will naturally be higher.

Gold has a price, jade is priceless

“Gold has a price but jade is priceless” because the price of gold can be calculated by weight according to international market conditions, but jade does not have any unit to speak of, as there are too many factors that affect the value of jade, and it all depends on quality rather than quantity.

If you understand the jade market, you will know that some jade, although small in size, is worth millions or tens of millions, while some jade is large in size but has little value and is not favored.

Look more, buy less

This sentence is more for novices who have just come into contact with jade. By looking at it more, they will definitely accumulate experience and master the method of identifying jade. Buying less is a reminder for everyone to learn more about the jade market. After all, jade is priceless and its value is difficult to measure accurately.

There is water wherever there is a dragon

The "dragon" in this sentence refers to the green color of jadeite. There is no need for me to say much about the status of green jadeite among jadeites. It is called "dragon", which shows its status.

Generally speaking, the green parts are better than the non-green parts in terms of texture coarseness and transparency.

Of course, there is still a lot of wisdom and experience accumulated by our predecessors, and experience is always being enriched and improved. You must learn more and understand more so that you can use it better and help yourself buy the jade you like.
