Choosing a jade pendant is the same as choosing other jade. The first thing to consider is whether its type, water content, and color are good enough. The cleaner and clearer the texture, and the better the color and water content, the more worthy of collection the jade pendant is.

Secondly, we need to see whether there are defects such as cracks, cotton, stone patterns, impurities, etc. The presence of defects will affect the value of the jade pendant. Jade pendants with dark color and opaque texture are generally not valuable.

When choosing a carved jade pendant, you should also observe the carving.

For example, whether the face of the character pendant is clean enough and the color is even: the Buddha should have a smiling face, and Guanyin should be charitable. At the same time, the proportions of the hands, feet, and body should be balanced to avoid uneven eyes, yin-yang face, big nose and pointed face, and irregular facial features.

In a word, only jade pendants with good water quality, good color, good carving, and no cracks or flaws can be called high-end jade pendants.

First of all, the better the quality of the jade pendant itself, the higher its value will be.

Because jade pendants are considered high-end jewelry in the market, they are generally made of high-quality jade. Jade pendants with excellent quality, water content and color have high collection value.

Secondly, jade pendants have cultural collection value that is different from other categories.

Many shapes and styles of jade pendants contain rich meanings and cultural connotations. People wear jade pendants not only to decorate themselves, but also for the beautiful meaning.


Maintenance of Jade Pendants

Jade pendants must be cleaned regularly to maintain their smooth and bright appearance. Clean the surface of the jade pendant with clean water or neutral detergent, then wipe dry with a soft towel.
