How can a jade novice buy good jade? Full of useful information

I often receive private messages from jade friends who have just started to get acquainted with jade. They ask, "It's my first time buying jade. What should I do if I'm afraid of buying fakes?" "Please help me check if this piece of jade is worth the price." "How should I choose jade?" Below, the editor will talk about some of his own experience in the industry and teach "jade novices" how to buy jade.

1. Find a reliable merchant

Find a local jade store: the probability of buying fakes is extremely low, but you may buy ordinary-grade jade at a high price (the cost of physical store owners is high, and the cost is passed on to the customers); find a strong online merchant: the strong here refers to having been in the jade business for many years and having sufficient financial resources! Because only jade merchants who have been in business for a long time can basically guarantee that the goods they purchase are all Grade A. Simply put, it means having connections and relationships! The main reason is that powerful merchants will not nag you for a small amount of money, and they will not bother to sell fakes!

The easiest and most convenient way is to find a reputable merchant, and there is a high probability that you will not buy fakes.

2. Understand some basic knowledge of jadeite

Listen to the sound: Use an agate knife to knock on the jade. If the sound is crisp and loud, it is a Grade A jade. If the sound is dull, it is a Grade B jade (fake). A novice can also knock two jades against each other! (You need a little experience. Newbies will have no problem with it after listening to it once. It’s not difficult!)

Look at the color: it’s the color of fake jade! This requires a certain amount of experience. Experienced people in the industry can basically tell whether the jade is real or fake at a glance. Of course, to be 100% sure, you still have to go to an appraisal agency for appraisal! After all, there are new tricks for counterfeit goods every year!

3. Understand the approximate price range of jadeite

Glass bracelets (at least hundreds of thousands if they are perfect), ice bracelets (tens of thousands to millions), glutinous bracelets (thousands to hundreds of thousands), and white-based green bracelets (hundreds to tens of thousands).

Understand the factors that affect the price of jadeite: type, water, color, and workmanship. Specifically, the size of the jadeite mineral particles can be seen, the smaller the better; water refers to the water head, which can be understood as transparency, the more transparent the jadeite is, the better; color refers to the color, common ones are white, red, yellow, black, green, etc.; workmanship refers to the carving.

Understand the more expensive types of jade: floating flower jade (green, blue, black, etc.), gold sprinkled jade (yellow), violet jade, spring-colored jade, black jade, colored jade, etc.!
