Why do the more expensive jadeite need to be lanyarded with a black one? The knowledge contained in it is so profound!

Everyone knows that jade pendants cannot be worn without a lanyard, but many people don’t know that jade is very particular about the choice of the color of the lanyard. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. The color of the lanyard is the clothes of jade. If you choose the right one, the value of the jade will double, but if you choose the wrong one, it will be embarrassing to wear it out.

The more expensive the jade, the darker the rope

Careful gem lovers will notice that the higher-end the jade pendant, the darker the rope it comes with. Jadeite with good quality will almost certainly use a black rope. Why is that? We can analyze it from the following points:

In terms of aesthetics

Black is between the cool and warm colors, and can form a sharp sense of color contrast. Glass-type jade can highlight the water head, and imperial green jade can highlight the color, making the jade look brighter and more delicate. The key is that black itself is dignified and stable and will not steal the charm of jade.

In Feng Shui


Black belongs to water, which can attract wealth, ensure safety, and absorb negative energy, which corresponds exactly to the energy of jade. High-end jade paired with a black rope is both aesthetically pleasing and can increase energy, making it naturally the primary combination.

If you encounter a white rope, take a detour

Although it is said that the better the quality of the jade, the more black the hanging rope should be, this is not absolute. Ropes of other colors can also be used. Red ropes can also bring out the color and brightness of the jade, but red itself is too eye-catching and will steal the brilliance of the jade.

The gray rope is more suitable for yellow and red jade pendants, because the colors of yellow jade and red jade are very dazzling and do not need too much black as a contrast, gray is enough. White jade and Qingshui jade can both be paired with light blue and dark blue lanyards, which are good matches.

There is a minefield in the color of jade pendant ropes, that is, white. This needs to be discussed from three aspects:

1. White is an unlucky color in traditional Chinese culture, and jade is a spiritual object. White will limit the spiritual growth of jade.

2. Although white matches well with various colors of jade, it does not serve to set off the jade. And don’t you think it’s strange to hang a white rope around your neck?

3. Jade needs to be soaked in oil and nourished, but the white rope itself is not resistant to dirt. If it gets dirty, hanging it around the neck will affect the overall beauty of the jade.

So the jade pendant cord can be black, blue, red, gray, brown, or green, but don’t choose white. People in their zodiac year can use red lanyards specifically.

The thickness and complexity of the lanyard are very important

The hanging ropes of jade pendants can be thick or thin. Generally speaking, the bigger the jade is, the thicker the hanging rope is. If it is too thin, it may not be able to support the pendant. The smaller the pendant is, the thinner the hanging rope is. If it is too thick, the proportions will be disproportionate. It is best to use good quality thread that does not fade easily. The materials of lanyards are generally: nylon, polyamide, PVC, silicone, resin, etc.

Many people also like to process the jade pendant ropes, such as tying bows, Chinese knots, etc. on the pendant ropes, which can increase the beauty of the pendant ropes, but are not suitable for all jade. Generally speaking, the simpler the lanyard is, the more it can highlight the overall beauty of the jade. You can also weave one or two small carrot knots to highlight the simplicity and elegance of the jade. It should not be too complicated. If the rope becomes too fancy, the exquisiteness of the pendant will not stand out and will distract from the main theme.

Some people also add a round bead at the connection between the hanging rope and the jade. In Baojie's opinion, green, blue and gold round beads are more suitable for jade, such as jasper, lapis lazuli, beeswax, etc. Baojie's jade pendants also use round beads of these colors, as shown below:

Lanyards require more maintenance than jade

Jade needs maintenance, and the hanging rope needs it even more, because the life of jade depends on this hanging rope. Once the hanging rope is damaged and broken, the jade will fall to the ground and be ruined. The texture of the hanging rope is far inferior to that of jade, so there are many things to pay attention to, and it also needs to be replaced regularly.

If you are wearing a jade pendant, try to avoid wearing it when taking a bath, because water, soap and shower gel will corrode the pendant and greatly reduce the life of the pendant.
