There are so many types of jewelry, why do Chinese people love jade the most?

In recent years, the market for jadeite and Hetian jade has been sluggish, and other types of jewelry have gradually taken over the market. But what do Chinese people love most? It should be jadeite, why?

Because jade meets three conditions: durability, rarity, and beauty.

Jade has high hardness and is easy to store and maintain. It will not fade or oxidize. Even after being kept for decades, jade jewelry will still look like new. It can be said that jade jewelry is a very cost-effective type of jade.

Secondly, it is rare. There are many countries that produce jade, such as Myanmar and Japan, but Myanmar is the only country that produces gem-grade jade. The output is extremely small and mining is difficult, so the price is also very high.

Finally, it is beautiful. Jade comes in colors such as green, purple, yellow, red, and white. No matter what color the jade jewelry is, it looks elegant and beautiful when worn.

The reason why Chinese people love jade the most is not only because of jade itself, but also because of external reasons.

The traditional culture of jade has a long history in China. Jade best embodies the gentlemanly and elegant spirit of Chinese Confucian culture.

It is a traditional Chinese custom to polish jadeite raw stones into jade carvings, and many vivid shapes of people, flowers, plants, animals, etc. have emerged.
