If you want to invest in jewelry collection, would you choose jade or diamonds? Which one is more worthwhile?

Jade and diamond are two different types of jewelry and jade, and they also represent two different kinds of beauty. Diamonds are dazzling and gorgeous, while jade is low-key and subtle. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. From an aesthetic point of view alone, there is no comparison between the two. People with different aesthetic views make different choices.

However, if we talk about investment and collection, how do the two compare? Is it more worthwhile to invest in jade or in diamonds?

In terms of the selection criteria of the two. The criteria for determining the value of jadeite lie in the four aspects of "type, water, color, and workmanship". Experts also roughly divide jadeite into glass-type jadeite, ice-type jadeite, glutinous jadeite and bean-type jadeite according to its texture, among which ice-type and above jadeite are the best. Green is the most respected color of jade, and the color standards are “rich, bright, pure and uniform”, but purple, yellow, red and other colors are also very popular. As long as the water quality is high and the color is good, it will be valuable. In addition, the carving of jade is also the most important determining factor. The price will be higher if the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the value of carvings by famous artists will naturally be higher.

The main principles of diamond adjustment are the "4Cs": cut, color, clarity and carat. Diamonds have many facets and look particularly shiny, which is inseparable from the cutting of diamonds. Then there is the color of the diamond. The color of the diamond should mainly be white, the kind that is translucent, and looks particularly noble. Diamond colors can be arranged in English from high to low DFGHJK. HG diamonds look as white as emerald green when viewed with the naked eye. Only other professionals can tell the difference, and the price is relatively expensive.

In terms of cultural connotation. Jade jewelry has various shapes, involving carving art and cultural connotations, and is endowed with rich meanings. These convey blessings of peace, blessing, wealth, career, study, love, family, friendship, etc., covering almost every aspect of a good life. The cultural connotation of jade is consistent with the spiritual connotation of traditional Chinese jade culture.

The most famous symbol of diamond is pure love. In addition, it also has other meanings such as noble quality, extraordinary ability, and eternal existence. However, compared with jade, its cultural connotation is relatively monotonous.

In terms of identification standards. Diamonds are tested by recognized authoritative organizations. Each tested diamond has a unique anti-counterfeiting code and an appraisal certificate. Just enter the corresponding security code and you can find the internal structure of the diamond on the GIA website. Diamond identification requires not only scientific instruments (diamond cut and weight), but also the naked eye to observe color and clarity.

Compared with diamonds, the identification standards for jadeite are relatively simple. You only need to go to the provincial gold and jewelry testing center for testing. However, it can only detect the quality and authenticity of the jadeite itself, but cannot detect the origin of the jadeite.

Therefore, if we want to compare the investment and collection value of the two, we can only say that identification is clearer, the investment and collection value is stable and risky, but the humanistic value it contains is relatively monotonous; while the investment and collection value of jade is relatively large, but the risk is relatively high. Relatively speaking, the humanistic value of jade is more stylish, and those who pay attention to jade investment will focus more on selecting jade.

In fact, both jade and diamond have their own advantages. The key lies in personal preference and financial strength.
