Do you prefer good quality or spicy color? It turns out there is so much to know about choosing jadeite.

Jade is one of the world's seven famous gemstones and is known as the "King of Jade". A perfect emerald ring is often worth more than a perfect diamond. Among the Asian and Pan-Oriental peoples, the enthusiasm for jade is often much higher than for other colored gemstones. It is not only a symbol of wealth and status, but also the best embodiment of aesthetic taste and self-worth. It has strong investment, collection, appreciation and value preservation attributes.

1. Jade jewelry is high-end jewelry. To maintain its long-lasting luster and color, it needs careful maintenance.

2. When wearing or collecting jade, be careful not to bump or drop the jade pieces. Sometimes the surface looks intact, but after the collision the internal structure of the jade has been damaged, leaving dark lines.

3. Jade is very sensitive to oil smoke and grease. If it is a high-end item that retains its value, it is not advisable to wear it in the kitchen when cooking. It is best to take it off.

4. Jade is not suitable for being close to high temperatures, and should not be exposed to the sun for long periods of time. Because of this long-term situation, physical changes are likely to occur, causing it to lose its luster and become less bright.

5. Jade should not come into contact with strong acid solutions, as this will destroy its structure and color. If conditions permit, wipe the jade frequently with a soft cloth to keep the jewelry bright for a long time.

kind

The type refers to the texture of jade, and is also the most basic description of a jade product. The old type, new type, glass type, ice type, egg white type, bean type, oily green type, blue flower, blue water, clear water, etc. mentioned in the market are all customary commercial names, but because these commercial names do not have a clear definition in the standards, they cannot be used as our grading standards.

water

"Water" is an important factor in jadeite evaluation, commonly known as "water head" in the industry. Jadeite with high transparency has sufficient water head. Such jadeite appears crystal clear and gives people a watery feeling, while jadeite with poor transparency is dry and dull, giving people a dry feeling, that is, jadeite with poor water head and insufficient water. The transparency of jadeite can be roughly divided into transparent, relatively transparent, translucent, slightly transparent, and opaque. The more transparent the jadeite is, the higher its value.

end

The bottom refers to the amount of jade flocs (also known as cotton), black spots, and other color spots. Since jade is an aggregate of various minerals, its structure is mostly fibrous and granular, and the amount of impurities will inevitably affect the value of jade.

color

Common colors of jade include green, white, red, purple, yellow, etc. Among them, the green one is the best variety. If a piece of jade has green, red and violet, it is also a very rare jade.

For green jadeite (such as ring faces), there are traditional sayings such as "thick", "positive", "yang" and "harmonious". The so-called "rich" means that the green is full and heavy; "positive" means that the green is pure and does not contain any impurities; "yang" means that the green is bright and vivid; and "harmonious" means that the green is uniform and soft.

work

In this grading standard, "workmanship" refers to the shape, workmanship, and weight of a finished jade product. It should be pointed out that due to the differences in designers, craftsmanship, cultural connotations, production years, volume, etc. of jade products, each piece has its own characteristics, and detailed grading is impossible.

Now that we are talking about preferences in choosing jadeite, let’s talk about people’s experience in choosing different jadeite jewelry!

Jade bracelet: look at the quality of the jade. There is a saying in the industry: "Look at the quality of the bracelet and the color of the pendant", which shows the importance of the quality of the water to a bracelet. A jade bracelet with good water content can make the wearer look younger, while a jade bracelet with dry water will make the wearer look old.

Jade Ring: The ring face should be full and generous, the length-to-width ratio should be as close to the golden ratio as possible, and thick and complete are preferred; the green color should be positive and uniform, the water should be transparent, with little cotton, little black spots, no cracks, and the older the better. Round, oval, and heart-shaped ones are also acceptable, but heavier ones are better.

Jade pendants: When purchasing pendants, it is best to choose materials with cultural connotations, highlight individuality, and highlight self-cultivation. They should not be the same. At the same time, they should show the beauty of jade’s color and texture, making people feel refreshed and pleasing to the eye and having a sense of nobility.
