High-quality jadeite is hard to come by. How should you choose it if you encounter it?

If you often visit the jade market, you will find that although most of the jade we see are of good quality and color, it is still quite difficult to find real high-quality jade. Why is that?

What is high-quality jadeite?

As the name suggests, high-quality jadeite is those jadeite objects with high grade and good appearance. It mainly refers to jadeite objects with perfect species, water head, color, workmanship, size and proportion, and no flaws or basically flawless.

Generally, they are high ice, glass, and dragon stone types, with excellent water head and crystal clearness. The best color is green, which is positive, rich, and bright. The workmanship is fine, the objects are lifelike, and the length, width, and thickness are coordinated. Such objects are called high-quality jadeite.

From this perspective, you should know that high-quality jade is not cheap and it is not easy to come across. But if you really come across a high-quality jade, will you choose it? Let’s take a look below!

1. Thick pile

Thick pile jade is relatively thick jade, which is opposite to "thin". The production of thick pile jade has very high requirements on jade rough materials, especially jade with good water head and high transparency is even rarer. Thick pile jade has certain requirements on the thickness of jade. The thickness of jade should be large and solid. It cannot be hollow, because hollowing out will make jade appear unreal.

2. Strange piles

The "strange" here can refer to the weird and unique shape of jade, or it can refer to the unusual color and carving of jade, such as the clever carving of jade. The strange-pile jade has its own unique features. If the jade carver's carving skills can be skillfully combined with the jade and it is deeply loved by the viewers, this kind of jade will appear more precious.

3. Positive pile

Zhengzhuang refers to jade articles with a regular shape and harmonious proportions. For example, a jade bracelet must not only be cut from a whole piece of material, but also have harmonious proportions in terms of inner and outer diameters, frame width, and frame thickness. This is what we Chinese often call "symmetrical beauty."

In fact, there are not many jades that can be called high-quality. If there is a high-quality jade in front of you, you must choose it carefully!
