Jadeite, this is the best way to choose

What do you think about how to choose jadeite?

“It’s always better to buy expensive ones.”

"I want it to be all green. If it's not all green, I won't look at it."

"Experts all look at the seed, the seed must be good."

"The ones without any cracks or marks are the best. If there are any cracks or marks, we won't accept them."

There are many standards for judging the quality of jadeite. How can you choose the most cost-effective one?

1. Clarify the purpose

As a precious luxury item, buying jade is not like buying cabbage. It only costs a small amount of money by pound. Therefore, before buying jade, you must first clarify your purpose: is it to wear or to collect.

Generally speaking, you can choose wearable jade by yourself, and the quality, color, and style can be determined according to your own preferences. But if it is a collectible jade, you have to consider its current value and potential appreciation. Currently, the high-end jadeite of collection level on the market is mainly high ice and glass types, and mainly colorless and full green. In the future jade market, high-end jade with exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful design also has great potential.

2. Clarify the target

Jade is the most widely worn of all jewelry and jades. It can be worn by men, women, young and old, but the styles and types that suit each person are different. Taking pendants for example, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, children wear peace buckles and baby Buddhas, and the elderly wear longevity peaches, blessing melons, and peace pendants; taking bracelets for example, young women are suitable for wearing floating flowers and sunny green, and older women are suitable for wearing simple and elegant styles... Different people are suitable for different jadeite, so before purchasing, you need to clarify the wearer and determine the needs.

3. Clarify the budget

"Boss, give me an ice-type jade with full green leaves, without any cracks, and I want one thousand yuan for it." As soon as you say this, anyone who knows a little about the business will know that you are a layman. Jade is a luxury product, and the truth is that you get what you pay for. For the four aspects of quality, water color, and workmanship, the price will increase by one point if the quality of any one aspect improves by one point. So we should know what kind of jade we should buy at what price range. If the boss sells you a perfect piece of ice-type tea with full green leaves for less than a thousand dollars, you should be careful.

Expensive jade is not necessarily good, but good jade is definitely not cheap. How to buy jadeite in the most cost-effective way? First of all, we must have a clear idea of ​​what we want to buy it for, who we want to buy it for, and how much our budget is. Only then can we have a rough plan in mind and then we can actually start choosing.
