For jadeite, color equals its value. The price difference can be ten times if the color is one level different. Today I will explain to you the factors that affect the color of jade and how to observe the color of jade correctly.

1. Light source

There is a saying in the industry: "Jade cannot be seen clearly under the lamp, but a beauty under the moon is like jade under the lamp", which means that jade cannot be accurately seen under the light.

Colorless jade counters usually use whitish cold light for projection, which makes the effect more transparent. Emerald green and yellow jadeite are usually projected with warm yellow light, which makes the colors more intense.

Nowadays, high-tech LED lights can adjust the brightness of the light, making the jewelry look much better than it actually is. Observing jadeite with different light will have different effects, so the most correct light source is natural light.

It is usually best to observe from the window between 10 am and 2 pm on sunny days. If you observe jadeite on a cloudy day or at night, you must pay special attention to which light source is used. The most taboo thing about jade is observing it under fluorescent light, as this will make the color of jade darker and less bright.

In contrast, the jewelry lights used in jewelry stores are mostly yellow tungsten filament lamps, which make the color of jade appear more vivid and attractive.

The lighting is beautiful and the atmosphere is good, so the transaction rate of jadeite is very high.

2. Compare with each other

Almost no one can remember all the green colors. All gem colors are afraid of comparison, and jade is no exception. Even if it is the same piece of jade, the color will be different after being polished.

Therefore, take out a few more for comparison, or collect a set of green specimens yourself, which can be used as color stones for reference. Substrate and background: Observing jadeite under different backgrounds will also have different effects.

Usually when jade is bought and sold, it is packaged in white paper or in a black box. White paper will make the color of jadeite lighter, and black background will make the color of jadeite darker.

If the jade product is very thin, the seller will usually put a layer of tin foil on the bottom, which will make the color stand out and be very eye-catching.

Consumers must not be fooled because that is not its true color.

Therefore, when purchasing jade jewelry, it is best to put it on your fingers and observe whether the size and color depth are appropriate.

3. Observe whether the color is uniform

Observe the top, side, and bottom of the jadeite in different directions to see if the color is uniform. You can also put it in a glass of water to see if the color of the transparent jadeite is evenly distributed.

Uneven color will naturally affect the price of jade, especially egg-shaped jade or pendants.

In addition to paying attention to whether the color is evenly distributed, you should also pay attention to whether the color is getting darker, or whether the color is black or gray. Being too black or too gray is not good.

4. Color vividness

In the business world, imperial green, chili green, emerald green, and sun green are all names for bright green.

Golden green, boxwood green, apple green and seedling green are names for bright green.

As for bean green, melon color, and aqua, they are light green. Dark green, oily green, spinach green, etc. are all darker greens and have relatively different values.
