How to choose and buy jade “egg-shaped” jade

Although the jade egg-shaped face is small, it has the highest requirements. The basis of a good quality egg-shaped face must be a part of a quality raw stone with good water head, color and texture. The requirements for egg-shaped jade are as follows: good water quality, good color, good appearance, and no defects.

1. Color

Jade egg-shaped surfaces come in many colors, including green, white, purple, yellow, red, and black, covering a variety of color systems. You can choose according to personal preferences and inlay needs.

The most valuable ones are the green egg-shaped ones with excellent quality and water content. When purchasing green egg-shaped noodles, the color green can be simply summarized in four words: thick, yang, positive, and uniform. The color should be pure and uniform, without any other colors. The most taboo for egg-shaped jade is fancy colors. Even if the species and water content are very good, but the color is fancy, such material is not suitable for making egg-shaped jade.

2. Seed water

The better the quality of the jade egg-shaped jade, the higher its value. This is a hard indicator for all jade. The egg-shaped surface that lacks water has no soul and spirit. When purchasing high-quality colorless egg-shaped jade, you should also look at its luster and fluorescence reaction.

3. Appearance

The shape of the egg surface (egg-shaped, horse eye, saddle, square, heart-shaped, etc.), thickness (full, curved egg surface should be round and smooth, industry term "loach back", symmetry up and down, left and right, front and back (symmetry), overall proportion coordination and other factors will affect the price. It is worth noting that: generally speaking, double-sided and double-convex ones are better, and single-convex ones are second best.

The thinner the ring surface, the lower its value.

4. Size

The size of a jade egg-shaped surface directly affects its value. For women, 6*8 or 8*10 is enough, while for men, a larger one is recommended. For jade of the same quality, if the egg-shaped surface is larger, the price will increase exponentially.

For egg noodles with high basic value, if they are a little bigger and a little darker in color, it is normal for the price to increase more than ten times.

5. Defects

(1) No cracks or scratches

(2) No white cotton required

(3) No black spots

(4) The bottom should not be gray

Select according to the above points, and finally feel the egg surface from a distance to feel that it should be pure, flawless, full and round as a whole.

After meeting the above basic conditions for jade egg-shaped surfaces, you can then choose the inlay style, materials, accessories and inlay techniques.

Selecting jade egg-shaped beads seems simple, but it is actually not. You must be patient and examine carefully.

In addition, a set of ring faces is very rare, because it requires that the ring faces must be made from the same piece of material, so the material must be large enough. Currently, the highest-selling items in jade auctions are often large necklaces and large sets of jewelry made from the same piece of raw material.
