When buying jadeite, is the more transparent the better, or the more colorful the better?

People who work in the jade industry are often asked: When buying jade, is the more transparent the better, or the greener the better?

Of course, the best ones are transparent and green! But as the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. The price of something that is both colorful and good is also very considerable.

How to choose when buying jade jewelry?

Generally speaking, when choosing jadeite, people first look at the type, then the color, and finally the certificate. And in the jade industry, there is a saying: "Experts look at the quality, laymen look at the color."

Therefore, it is best to look at the type first, but there are many types of jade, more than twenty types. The most common ones are: glass type, ice type, hibiscus type, glutinous type, bean type, dry green type, water type, etc.

Jade has rich and colorful colors. Among all jades, jade has the most colors. The most common colors are: green, jadeite, yellow, black and white . Pure-colored jadeite is rare and usually has various floating flowers.

In fact, to judge the quality of jade, in addition to its type and color, we must also consider its texture, color, water head, craftsmanship, meaning, etc., and integrate multiple factors.

Sometimes, even if it is an ordinary piece of jade, but if it is well carved, its value may be very high.

Someone once spent 850,000 yuan to buy a jade ornament. When he took it to a jade carving master to appreciate it, the master said, "The jade is worth buying, but it's a pity that the workmanship is average. If I make a major repair, I can double its price." It can be seen from this that good carving has a great impact on the value of jade . Therefore, you must consider carefully and choose cautiously when purchasing jade.

But if you look at it and appreciate it from a different angle, you may gain different insights. Which is more important, the type or color of jade, has always been a point of confusion for many people.

If a piece of jade is of good quality but colorless, it will not appear luxurious enough, but if it has good color but no water quality, it will not appear lively enough. Therefore, type and color complement each other. It is best to consider the situation comprehensively, and when the price is not affordable, focus on the point that you like more.

For example: There was a very popular picture on the Internet before: two girls, one is beautiful but has a fish tail in the lower body, and the other has a curvy figure but a fish head. If you were a man, which one would you choose? I believe the answer will vary from person to person.

The types and colors of jade are just like these two girls. Which is more important? Both are important.

Which is more important? It depends on what you like.

Although there is a saying in the jade industry that "laymen look at color, experts look at quality", don't forget that there is also a saying that "one point of color is worth ten points of price". Almost all jade lovers understand the preciousness of green jade. In fact, these sayings are all praises for jade by jade lovers. They are just different opinions and a hundred schools of thought.

The value of jade is determined by five aspects: quality, water, background color, and workmanship . In our usual descriptions, we tend to talk about quality and water together, so quality and water and color become the two primary criteria for us to assess the value of jade.

As the saying goes, gold has a price but jade is priceless. As we all know, the market price of gold is very transparent, but the value of jade is hard to describe. Every piece of jade is a unique treasure, especially the satisfaction and pleasure it brings you, which is incomparable to gold.

Therefore, when choosing jadeite, try to consider as many convenient factors as possible within your budget. If you can’t, don’t worry too much about whether it’s the type or the color. If you can choose the one you like more, you’ll be lucky!
