Tips for choosing jade pendants

Jade pendants are the first choice of many jade lovers. Jade pendants with various shapes and auspicious meanings are suitable for men, women, young and old. Today, the editor will talk to you about the main styles of jade pendants and how to choose the right style.

The main forms of jade pendants

1. Plain jade pendant: Plain pendant is a pendant without any carvings on the surface. It has a simple shape and mainly comes in round, heart-shaped, long, square, flat, cross and other shapes.

2. Jadeite carved pendants: Jadeite pendants with carved decorations are generally made using the “borrowed materials as they come” method, which will not easily destroy the basic shape of the jadeite raw materials, so there is no regularity in shape. However, jade pendants also have some common characteristics. For example, the pendant heads are not big, there are no pointed protrusions on the surface, and they are as round and comfortable as possible. Most of them choose auspicious themes, such as longevity, butterflies, Guanyin, etc.

3. Combination jade pendant: The combination pendant is composed of many kinds of parts. This kind of pendant has various forms. In the later stage, it adopts gold and silver inlay technology, and is often inlaid with pearls, diamonds and gems. It is a high-end jewelry.

Things to note when purchasing jade pendants

1. Jade is most valuable when it is green. The greener it is, the higher its value.

2. Jadeites with good transparency have higher value. The more transparent the jadeite is, the higher its value is, and it is often hard to find one.

3. Uniform color. In addition to the delicate green color and high transparency, the tone must also be uniform to be a top quality product.

4. Defects: pay attention to whether there are cracks, spots, etc. These defects will affect the quality of jadeite.

5. Shape. Most jade ring faces are oval egg-shaped, but there are many other shapes. The quality and beauty of the shape also affects the price of the jade.

6. The carving or grinding work, the quality of the craftsmanship and the symbolic meaning of the carved ornaments will affect the price.

7. Size and thickness. High-quality pendants are naturally larger and thicker, and their value is higher.

8. Gloss. In addition to the above conditions, the gloss must be bright and not dull. The brighter the gloss, the higher the value.
