Jade is a kind of hard jade. It has a long history in my country and has always been loved by the Chinese people. Jade comes in a variety of colors, with green being the best. It has very few places of origin, among which Myanmar is the country with the highest production and the best quality, so jadeite is also called "Myanmar jade". Jade has an aesthetic that makes people unable to extricate themselves. No matter how time invades, it cannot change the inner beauty of jade. At the same time, jade is also a symbol of good luck. As the saying goes, gold and silver have a price but jade is priceless. Jade is a treasure in the hands of the Chinese people and the soul in their hearts.

Jadeite Selection

Type, color and craftsmanship are the three most basic factors in choosing jade, followed by size and weight, evenness, clarity, cracks and aesthetics.

1. Look at the water

As the saying goes, "Good crops can hide three ugly things."

Water head, or transparency, refers to the ability of jadeite to transmit visible light. There is a saying in the industry: "Look at the type of bracelet and the color of pendant". A bracelet with good water head can make women look younger and more energetic.

The grades from high to low are: old pit glass type, water type, ice type, ice glutinous type, glutinous type, and other types. The quality of other types mainly depends on the color.

2. Color identification

Jade has many colors, and the best jade is generally dominated by bright green. However, green means very different things to women of different ages, body shapes, and temperaments. When purchasing, you should choose according to your own preferences. Young women are better off choosing bracelets with brighter colors and good water head to appear youthful, energetic and full of vitality; older women should choose bracelets with slightly darker colors to appear noble, dignified and steady.

The color grades from high to low are: green (imperial green, positive green, apple green), red, yellow, and purple.

In traditional Chinese jade culture, green is the most respected color in jadeite, and it is believed that this pure emerald green is the best color in jadeite. Perhaps it is because emerald green in jade is very rare and pure emerald green is the best color of jade, as noble and rare as an emperor, so people respectfully call this pure emerald green jade "Imperial Green Jade".

3. Look at the craftsmanship

There is a saying that goes "material and craftsmanship are half and half", which means that in a good work of art, the value of materials and craftsmanship each account for half; the quality of craftsmanship and its symbolic meaning both affect the price.

IV. Others

In terms of size and thickness, jade of the same quality will of course have a higher price for larger and thicker ones; uniformity means that the water and color are evenly distributed, and the better; clarity means that there are no flaws and other colors, the cleaner the better; cracks mean that the better; aesthetics means the overall feeling of the jade object in many aspects, which also varies from person to person.
