Are there any tips for choosing jade pendants?

Jade jewelry is also very popular now. It not only has the function of beautifying and decorating, but also has auspicious meanings. Therefore, pendants are a must-have for many people when choosing jade jewelry.

1. Requirements for quality

There is a saying in the jade industry that "good materials are not used to make zodiac pendants." In the market, we often see that the materials of the twelve zodiac signs made from first-hand materials are not very good. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, traditional themes such as dragon, tiger, and monkey that are suitable for the general public to wear may also be better. Generally speaking, plain pendants such as nostalgic pendants and egg-shaped pendants are not allowed to have cracks. Jade carving factories will also pay attention to this when selecting materials, that is, "don't make plain pieces if there are cracks", because plain pieces have no patterns to cover them, and simply carved pendants must be perfect in themselves.

2. Selection of species and color

Some people say "look at the type of bracelet and the color of pendant" so no matter what, you must choose one with color. I have always believed that whether it is a bracelet or a pendant, the most important thing is to choose a good material. As the saying goes, "The beauty of jade lies in its quality, and the beauty of people lies in their virtues." If you have to choose between type and color, I suggest you choose type over color, because color needs type to set off in order to be dazzling. No matter how good the color is, a pendant with large and dry grains will not be spiritual when worn on the chest, and it will appear to lack taste and class. As the saying goes, “good quality is worth three beauties.” Jewelry-grade jade is our first choice for jade pendants.

3. Appearance requirements

The pendant must conform to the requirements of "solemnity, correctness and beautiful shape", which is the most core and intuitive requirement for jade pendants. The so-called "dignified" means that the materials are neat and the appearance is dignified; "straight" refers to harmonious proportions, avoiding crooked and shapeless things; "shape" means both form and spirit, avoiding shape without spirit; "beautiful" has artistic beauty and value. Only pendants that conform to the principles of "solemnity, correctness and beauty" can be worn with beauty and class, and only then can they be valuable!

４.Choice of type and size

Generally speaking, egg-shaped or teardrop-shaped pendants are made into gold-inlaid styles suitable for women to wear, highlighting their exquisiteness and elegance. There is a saying in the north that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha", while in the south it is just the opposite. You can choose according to your own beliefs. Flower pieces are suitable for men, women, young and old. Men generally choose larger pendants that are thick and heavy, showing their elegance and grace. Children should choose pendants with soft edges and roundness. In short, attention should be paid to the coordinated beauty between the pendant and the owner.

5. Choice of meaning

“Jade must have a pattern, the pattern must have a meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious.” Every piece of jade has its unique meaning. When choosing, we should refer to the above principles and also choose according to the meaning in our minds. For example, for the elderly’s birthday, we should choose jade with the meaning of fortune, wealth and longevity. For children, it is suitable to choose bamboo joints that represent thriving growth, leaves that represent academic success, etc. For officials, it is suitable to choose themes such as continuous promotion and smooth career.

In short, there are many varieties of jade pendants, and when choosing, we must be sure to pick those that give people a solemn, neat, and intriguing sense of artistic beauty, and at the same time have the delicate texture and agility and transparency that jewelry-grade jade should have.
