Which one is more valuable: a jade bracelet or a jade pendant?

Question: If you are given 50,000 yuan to buy jade, is it more cost-effective to buy a bracelet? Or is the pendant more cost-effective?

Let’s keep you in suspense for now. Before the answer is revealed, let’s first take a look at the differences between jade bracelets and pendants.

Jade bracelet

The styles of jade bracelets are relatively monotonous, and are always wide, narrow, round, and flat. But precisely because of the limitations of style, its value comes almost entirely from its own quality.

When cutting a piece of jade raw material, the first priority is to make bracelets. In other words, bracelets are the most demanding jade jewelry in terms of material selection. If the material is not big enough or has too many flaws, it is impossible to make a bracelet. Bracelets are basically made of high-quality materials, so the prices are naturally the highest and they have greater room for appreciation.

Jade pendant

There are many styles of jade pendants, including Guanyin, Buddha, Ruyi, peace buckle and so on. The requirements for raw materials are not as strict as those for bracelets. During the production process, the craftsmanship can be tailored to the material and defects can be eliminated, so carving is also an important factor affecting the value of the pendant.

When estimating the value of a jade bracelet, one generally only needs to consider the type, water content, and color of the jade. The evaluation of pendants is more complicated. In addition to the water color, one must also consider whether the design is meticulous, the color matching is clever, and the carving is exquisite. These are technical tasks that test one's aesthetic taste.
