Do you know these key points for purchasing jadeite?

No matter what it is, people like perfection. However, there are relatively few perfect things after all. Of course, jade is no exception. It is difficult for us to find a piece of jade without any flaws. We often say that as long as the flaws of jade do not have a big impact on the beauty of jade, it is acceptable.

So how do we choose among jadeite that has both advantages and disadvantages? The general rule is to first determine its approximate value based on its advantages, and then bargain down based on its disadvantages, thus obtaining a rough grade and price range. Today, we will help you solve some of the doubts you may have when choosing jadeite.

1. Why does jade become moist after being worn?

In fact, this is very easy to understand. To put it simply, it is human body polishing. In the early years, the hardwood furniture in the rich man’s house was made by hiring a group of blind people to feel it. The principle is the same. As for the fading of color and the healing of cracks, it is because the surface of the jade has become smooth, the refractive index and reflectivity of light have changed, and your eyes have been deceived by the light. On the other hand, if the inner color of the jadeite really changes, wouldn't it be a B-grade jadeite?

2. Those who want to sell dare not sell, and those who want to buy dare not buy

The biggest headache for many jade merchants now is: "Those who want to sell dare not sell, and those who want to buy cannot afford it." The goods that used to sell for 30,000 yuan a piece are no longer sold at the original price. Merchants are worried that once they sell at this price, they will not be able to get goods at the same price in the future; but if they sell at a higher price, consumers will not buy it, so both parties are caught in a dilemma.

3. For mid- to high-end jadeite, shape is crucial

Shape has a crucial influence on mid- to high-end jadeite. For jadeite of the same color and type, experts will pay several times more for a piece that is full, round, regular, symmetrical and beautiful in shape. For example, two ring faces made from the same piece of material have the same color and water quality, and appear to be about the same size at first glance, but one is thinner and the other is fuller. If these two ring faces are high-quality goods, their prices may differ by several times during the evaluation, and the higher the quality, the greater the difference.

4. What color of jade is good?

What color of jade is good? Speaking from the perspective of color quality, the best colors of jade are: emerald green, emerald green, apple green, and yellow vine green are the best. The following are violet blue, red jadeite, yellow-green, yellow, blue, gray-blue, etc. Good color should be combined with good water quality, and it will be more valuable if there are fewer impurities and cracks.

5. Water quality is as important as color

The price of top-quality jadeite with both good quality and color is too high, and there are very few of them in the world. Most people settle for second best and find some jadeite whose color is obviously not rich enough but whose quality is still acceptable. Jade players must remember: “A one-grade difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price” and “A one-cent increase in water means an increase of ten taels of silver”. Water quality is as important as color. If you want both, you will go bankrupt!
