There is a saying that goes "for bracelets, look at the quality; for pendants, look at the color." For jade pendants, choosing color is more important than quality. The most eye-catching feature of an exquisite jade pendant is its color. Jade with beautiful color exudes the luster of pearls and can better highlight the wearer's noble and elegant temperament and demeanor. How to choose a high-quality jade pendant? Color of Emerald: Among all the colors of jade pendants, natural green has the greatest value. Those with changing colors are called "three colors": red symbolizes blessing, natural green symbolizes money and fortune, and white symbolizes longevity. Because the three colors are also known as "Fu Lu Shou", if the purple color, which symbolizes happiness, is added, it becomes "Fu Lu Shou Xi" (Fulu Shou Xi). Such a jade pendant is naturally very expensive. Types of Jade: The type refers to the quality of the natural conditions for jadeite mineralization. It is a specific name for the transparency and texture of jadeite, such as glass type, ice type, glutinous type, bean type, etc. The type is actually used to define the size of jadeite particles and the tightness of jadeite bonding. The species of jade is the most intuitive classification scheme from a mineralogical perspective, which divides the types of jade according to its composition, structure, visual color, and light transmittance. Every type of jade has value, which is why there is a saying that "laymen look at the color, experts look at the type". Therefore, understanding the type of jade should be the first step to becoming a novice. Transparency of Jadeite: The transparency of jade is commonly known as water. In the industry, people usually use the term "a little water" to describe it, but water does not necessarily refer to transparency. If you see a very transparent glass window, would you say it is very watery? The air is also very transparent, but would you use "water" to describe it? However, when you see water droplets on the lotus leaves, you will definitely say they are very watery. So water refers to the sum of the light reflected on the surface of jade and the light refracted inside the jade. When these lights enter our eyes, we can feel the water. "Quality and water" are interactive relationships, that is, jadeite of good quality has full water content, while jadeite of poor quality has poor water content. Overall beauty: The shape actually refers to the size, thickness, regularity and fullness of the jade. Collection-level jadeite must be of regular shape and made of thick and full materials. On the contrary, thinner materials will find it difficult to present an overall ornamental effect and beauty. Carving process: The work can be divided into "carving" and "inlaying". When evaluating the carving of a work, we can observe the smoothness and delicacy of the lines, the size proportions, the layout of the patterns, etc. After reading this article, please click on the upper right corner to share it to your circle of friends so that more friends can benefit from it! feicuibbs6 |
