"Color change" - the secret of jadeite's beauty after polishing

When it comes to the processing of jade, it may be a blind spot in many people's knowledge. From raw materials to finished products, a piece of jade needs to go through many processes, such as material selection, design, carving, grinding, polishing, etc., and finally it will become what we see, with a bright luster and bright colors.

Therefore, few people know how much the color of most jade can change before and after polishing. When they are in the rough state, their color is not rich enough or bright enough, but after polishing, they become a completely different scene. This phenomenon is called "color inversion" in the industry.

The "color change" of jadeite refers to jadeite that is old, fine and colorful. When it is in the rough state, the color is not bright and pure, but after polishing, the color becomes brighter, richer and purer, which is particularly attractive. This phenomenon is also called "color lifting" in the industry.

It is quite common for jade to change color. When many jade raw stones are just cut, the color is not outstanding or stunning. However, after processing and carving, and then polishing and cleaning, the color of the jade will become bright.

▲Before polishing

Anyone who has seen rough jade knows that the surface of rough jade that has not been polished or polished is gray, as if it is covered with dust. The surface is not smooth and translucent, and the color is relatively dull. At this time, the jade is less ornamental. But after polishing, grinding and cleaning, the surface of the jade becomes smooth and the color is fully displayed.

What needs to be understood is that although most jadeite has the phenomenon of changing color, the color difference before and after the change will not be very large. For example, it is almost impossible to see a light green turning into a rich emerald green.

When talking about the color change of jadeite, we have to mention another word: Fangtang.

This is a description used by the older generation of jade gambling connoisseurs to describe the appearance of the color material after processing. It means that although a piece of jade is not full of color, due to the high water quality, fine texture and strong light transmittance of jade, under the illumination of light, the color is scattered inside the jade, making the entire piece of jade look like it is full of color, full and uniform. This phenomenon is also called "a hint of rebound."

At the same time, the polishing process is also called water output . Water refers to the transparency of jade. It means that jade will become more transparent during the polishing process. So generally speaking, the color and water head of jade after polishing will be better. It is precisely because of the difference between the raw materials and the finished products after polishing that the game of betting on raw goods has gradually become popular. Watching the raw goods you have chosen become beautiful will give you a strong sense of accomplishment.

The older and finer the jade is, the brighter and more vivid it will be after polishing. So whether you want to buy raw materials or raw goods, you should pay attention to the quality of the jade. However, if you are afraid of making a mistake, it is recommended that you buy the finished product directly.
