Although this knowledge about jade is simple, it is very practical.

1 Value standards of common jade pendants

The value of a Guanyin Buddha with appropriate proportions is higher than that of a Guanyin Buddha with insufficient proportions; the value of a Buddha with a convex belly is higher than that of a Buddha with a flat belly; the value of a Buddha with more consumable materials is higher than that of a Buddha with less materials; the value of a Guanyin Buddha with good water effect is higher than that of a Guanyin Buddha with poor water effect, dull and dark; the value of a Guanyin Buddha with a sitting posture is higher than that of a Guanyin Buddha with a standing posture;

2 Perfect jade is extremely rare

A finished jade product, whether it is a ring face, bracelet, or pendant, always has both advantages and disadvantages, which influence and restrict each other, so it needs to be evaluated comprehensively. The general rule is to first determine its approximate value based on its advantages, and then bargain down based on its disadvantages, so that you can get a rough grade and price range.

3 Why does jade become moist after being worn?

To put it simply, it is human body polishing. In the early years, the hardwood furniture in the rich man’s house was made by hiring a group of blind people to feel it. The principle is the same. As for the fading of color and the healing of cracks, it is because the surface of the jade has become smooth, the refractive index and reflectivity of light have changed, and your eyes have been deceived by the light.

4 Shape has a crucial influence on mid- to high-end jadeite

For jadeite of the same color and type, experts will pay several times more for a piece that is full, round, regular, symmetrical and beautiful in shape. For example, two ring faces made from the same piece of material have the same color and water quality, and appear to be about the same size at first glance, but one is thinner and the other is fuller. If these two ring faces are high-quality goods, their prices may differ by several times during the evaluation, and the higher the quality, the greater the difference.

5 What color of jade is good?

Speaking of the quality of color alone, the best colors of jade are: imperial green, yellow sun green, apple green, and yellow vine green are the best. The following are violet blue, red jadeite, yellow-green, yellow, blue, gray-blue, etc. Good color must be combined with a good water base, and it must have fewer impurities and cracks to be more valuable.

6 Types of Water That Are Just as Important as Color

The price of top-quality jadeite with both good quality and color is too high, and there are very few of them in the world. Most people settle for second best and find some jadeite whose color is obviously not rich enough but whose quality is still acceptable. Jade friends must remember: "A one-grade difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price" and "One-cent more water means ten taels more silver." Water quality and color are equally important. If you want both, you will go bankrupt!

7 Most jade is opaque

Most jade is opaque, so you can't see what's inside, but ice and glass jade are fine and clean, so you can see the structure inside. People who are not very knowledgeable may think that such jade is imperfect, but in fact this is very normal and not a problem. The top-grade jade is not without any flaws. When looking at a piece of jade, one should not pick out impurities carefully, but rather look at the most valuable aspects - good quality, good color and good shape.

8️ About old color not entering

As the saying goes "old jadeite has poor color", jewelry-grade jadeite has beautiful color and is popular in the market. Generally speaking, jadeite with good color is often not of good quality, and it is difficult to achieve a balance between quality and color. Mu Na, which has become more popular in recent years, is a relatively balanced variety. However, Mu Na does not have high color. It sacrifices color in exchange for superior water quality.
