Why are most top-grade jadeite plain? The “naked” jadeite we chased in those years!

The beauty of jade lies in its quality. It is not difficult to find that top-grade jadeite is mostly presented to the world in its plain form. Top-grade jadeite has extremely high requirements on the quality of raw materials, and it cannot have cracks or defects.

What is plain jade?

Today's jade products are mainly divided into two categories: plain and carved. The so-called plain jade means "bare jade" in the jade jargon, referring to jade without any modification, and no carved patterns or designs on the surface.

Su Shen jade has very high quality requirements for raw materials. First of all, it must be the most premium part of the jade material, with transparent water quality, natural and pure color, and without any cracks or flaws. Therefore, plain jade is the best way to show the beauty of jade.

Although “carved” jade may appear delicate and exquisite, in fact “there is no flower without a strand”. The complex patterns and decorations are often used to cover up cracks and flaws.

What makes plain jade so expensive?

High quality requirements for raw materials

To obtain beautiful and flawless jade, the surface of the jade raw material must be free of cracks and blemishes. Even the slightest flaw means that it must be removed. A piece of plain jade means perfection!

The old color is beautiful, no negotiation

If a piece of jade is too coarse and tender, and its color has no bright spots, I believe no one will make it into plain jade! Excellent quality, water color and color have almost become the standard for plain jadeite!

Interpreting the natural beauty of jade

Plain jade can best reflect the quality and beauty of jade. Unlike diamonds and colored gemstones, natural plain jade is more unforgettable and perfectly interprets the natural beauty of jade.
