Too much money has been wasted on jadeite, so how do you choose good jadeite?

Many friends like jade, but jade has a complex structure and a wide variety of types, so it is difficult to give a definitive answer like colored gemstones. Therefore, some people still buy unsatisfactory jade. After choosing and picking, they are dazzled and ultimately fail to pick a good and desired one. So what are the criteria for choosing a good jade?

1. Color

Jade is mainly green in color, of course there are other colors as well, but the greener the jade, the higher its value.

1. Correct color

Among the many colors of jade, green is the most precious. The purer the green tone of jade, the better. In jade, the green should be as free of yellow, bluish and gray as possible. The purer the green, the higher the value of the jade.

2. Even distribution of colors

On a piece of jade jewelry, the shades of green are evenly distributed, not dark at one end and light at another. This kind of jade is the best. If the green color is evenly distributed on a piece of jade, then this piece of jade is full green jade. Among all jades, full green jade is definitely the most valuable.

2. Water head

The water head must be sufficient. The water head of jade refers to the transparency of jade. The more water head a piece of jade has, the higher the transparency and the higher the value. Only jade with a transparency above semi-transparent can be called top-grade jade.

3. Impurities and defects

1. Few defects

The first thing to say is that flawless jade is very rare, so for jade, imperfection is also a kind of perfection. The fewer flaws the jade has, the higher its value. When buying jade, try to accept its flaws.

2. Fewer cracks

The cracks in jade seriously affect the beauty of jade, and may also affect the strength of jade. It can be said that the cracks in jade have a fatal impact on jade. In mild cases, it may leave hidden dangers to the jade. If it is serious, it may directly cause the jade to break. When choosing jade, you must pay attention to whether the jade has cracks and the size of the cracks.

4. The type of jadeite should be old

The species of jade, also known as "stone species", refers to the structure of jade. There is no clear method on how to classify jadeite, but people usually divide jadeite into "old kind" and "new kind". It is generally believed that top-grade jadeite will only appear in "old kind" materials, so the older the jadeite, the better.

5. Carving

The workmanship of jade carving is also an important factor affecting the beauty of jade. What I particularly like is the polishing of jadeite. Well-polished jadeite looks much better in terms of water content. Another point is that the workmanship must have cultural connotations. China is a country with thousands of years of jade culture. If any piece of jade does not have cultural connotations, it is just a handicraft and cannot be called a masterpiece. Therefore, it will not have too high value. Therefore, the workmanship of jade must have cultural connotations.

A good piece of jade needs to be judged from many aspects; it is far from enough to just look at it from one aspect. It is rare to be perfect in so many aspects. Such jade is hard to come by. If you come across it, you need to cherish it.
