Experts have summarized the five-word formula for appreciating jadeite. Let’s see how valuable your jadeite is?

There are many ways and angles to appreciate jade. The practical one is to look, weigh and then look under the light. The comprehensive one needs to look at the type, water, color, flaws and workmanship... Today I want to share with you several appreciation formulas commonly used by experts. They are short, concise, catchy, but very instructive. Come and have a look~


color

This is the easiest point to appreciate, which refers to the color of jadeite. There is a saying that goes "a one-point difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price." Different colors in jadeite have different values, among which "green" is the most respected. Full green, sunny green, imperial green, etc. are all widely known.



through

In addition to color, what jade lovers care most about is the water head of jade, which is mainly reflected in its transparency. The higher the transparency, the fewer impurities it contains, the clearer, brighter the jade will be, and the higher the price will naturally be.


quality

Quality refers to the texture of jade. Whether the texture of jade is fine or not is what we often call the type of jade, which is reflected by the coarseness of the internal structure particles. The best type of jade is "glass type", followed by "ice type". The structural particles are invisible to the naked eye, giving people a delicate and warm texture, which is a good type of jade.


shape


Shape does not simply refer to the shape of the jade, but the overall carving and production process. Whether the craftsmanship is applied according to the material, whether the dirt and knots can be removed, and whether the jade can be skillfully carved with beautiful colors all greatly affect its value.



According to

Lighting is a means of observation that requires the use of a flashlight and a magnifying glass. Transmitted light can more clearly show whether there are any flaws inside the jadeite, and the same function is used by a magnifying glass. Perfection will affect the beauty and durability of jade, and the price of jade with flaws will be relatively lower.


In summary, "color, transparency, quality, shape, and reflection" also cover several aspects of jadeite such as water quality, color, flaws, and craftsmanship. No matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. A good jade must excel in one or more of the above aspects. Jade friends, if you remember these tips, you can easily appreciate jade. Welcome everyone to exchange knowledge about jade~
