It is said that jade is the king of jade. How can we choose one that is beautiful and not expensive?

1. Evaluation from natural factors

1. Color

Jade "is best in color, and green is the most valuable." The beauty of jade's emerald green color is the soul of jade, and green is the first factor that determines the price of jade.

First, it must be pure, which means that the proportions of the main color and secondary color of jadeite are appropriate. Taking green jadeite as an example, pure green is the best, those with yellow or blue are inferior, and those with gray are the worst.


Secondly, the color should be of appropriate shades. The deeper the color, the better. However, too much color will have the opposite effect and reduce the quality of the jade.

Third, it must be bright. The brighter the color of jade, the more attractive it is. The more gray or black it contains, the darker the color.


Fourth, it must be uniform. The more uniform the color distribution, the better and the higher the value.


2. Texture

The transparency of jade affects the refraction of light, thus affecting the overall beauty. When light enters transparent and delicate jade, it reflects beautiful light, making people feel the jade's crystal clearness and greatly increasing its beauty.

Clarity refers to the defects contained in jade, which are mainly white and black. They are caused by other minerals included in jade. Relatively speaking, black defects are more eye-catching than white ones. The fewer impurities the jade contains, the better.

3. Modeling

For plain products such as round or oval ring faces, round rings, bracelets, etc., there is no need to carve patterns. It is enough as long as the shape is carved into a delicate and round shape and then finely polished to perfectly show the original and unique texture of the jade.

When designing jadeite, you must pay attention to the ratio of length to width. If the proportion is distributed harmoniously, the overall feel of the jadeite will be comfortable, and the overall coordination of the jadeite will directly affect the price of the jadeite. No matter what kind of gemstone it is, size is an important indicator to determine its value, and jade is no exception. For jade of the same quality, the larger the size, the higher its value.

2. Evaluation from the perspective of humanistic factors

1. Carving process

The quality of jade craftsmanship is one of the important factors in evaluating jade. Good craftsmanship can add the icing on the cake of jade, and can also give new vitality to incomplete jade and bring it back to life. Some flower pieces are often not perfect in jade material, with small defects such as small cracks, dirty color or black spots, white flowers, etc. This kind of material can often inspire the designer's potential and create amazing works.

You need to see whether the lines of the carving are even and whether the curvature is smooth. If it is a figure or animal shape, you need to see whether his eyes are sharp and the expression is lifelike. You also need to pay attention to whether the polishing is in place and whether the bottom is flat.


2. Historical and cultural value

Jade is highly recognized in the Western world. Its fresh, mysterious and spiritual feeling has made many Hollywood stars become absolute fans of jade. In China, jade is also loved by celebrities from all walks of life. Therefore, if the jade is related to history or celebrities, its value will increase a lot.
