The dark horse in the collecting world: Why are so many people starting to invest in jade ring faces?

As the jade market becomes more and more prosperous, there are more and more types of jade ornaments, collectors' eyesight is getting better and better, and their requirements for fine products are getting higher and higher. Among them, jade includes rings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hand-held pieces, flower pieces, ornaments, etc.

Among these, jade ring faces have the highest requirements on materials. In such a market environment, collectors began to pay attention to the collection of jade ring faces, and ring face collection has therefore become a very valued category, and even become the most popular type of jade collection nowadays.

The jade used to make ring faces must be of excellent quality, water content, color, and be flawless and very clean. Because ring faces have very high requirements on the quality of jadeite, water color, impurities and cracks, and the material is rare, ring faces of the same size and quality are several times more expensive than flower pieces, or even more.

The ring face with excellent quality and color is even more dazzling with exquisite inlay. Moreover, the ring face can reflect the beauty of jade to the greatest extent. The standard shape of the ring face is generally round or oval, which is very suitable for being inlaid with precious metals into various styles, such as rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc.

Generally speaking, the best ring faces will be set into rings, followed by necklaces, and then earrings. Although jade ring faces are not large in size, they have the highest requirements for raw materials. The reason is that there cannot be any workmanship on the ring surface, it must be plain.

This requires that there should be no black spots, white cotton, cracks, etc. on the raw materials. During jade processing, if there are these defects, they are generally required to be carved out and covered up, and the defects are concealed with patterns and decorations. This is the reason why experts say "no cracks, no flowers". Jade ring faces, bead necklaces, bracelets, and peace lockets are what experts call "plain work" without any workmanship.

Other categories such as jade flower pieces, ornaments, and hand-held pieces can have complex or simple carvings, so that even if there are some flaws in the raw materials, they can be removed through exquisite carving. In addition, the color of the ring face must be uniform and cannot be spotted, but the requirements for other types of jade are not as high as those for ring faces.

Ordinary jade raw materials account for the majority of the market, and those suitable for making ring faces, especially high-end ring faces, account for a very small proportion, and usually are just a small ball of green or a band in the raw material.

Therefore, the ring-face-grade jade raw materials must be of very high quality, and ring-face collection will become more and more popular in the future jade market. When purchasing jade ring faces, you must learn more, observe more, improve your eyesight, and collect them calmly.
