When mentioning jade, many people think of green. In fact, jade has many colors, including green, purple, red, ink, etc. Every color of jade is fascinating, but there is a saying in the jade market: laymen look at the color, experts look at the quality.

There are many types of jade. We generally divide them into four categories: glass jade, ice jade, glutinous jade and bean jade. When buying jade, should we pay attention to the color or the quality?

Water

Color is easy to understand, but many people may not understand the quality of jade. The quality of jade is a general term for quality and water head. The quality refers to the density of the crystal particles of jade . The four major categories of jade are divided according to the density.

The water head of jade refers to the size of jade's crystal particles and its light transmittance, which is mainly used to judge the quality and value of jade. If high-quality jade has poor water head, it will not look lively enough. The quality and water head complement each other.

Aesthetics

Colored but without quality is low-grade, while quality without color is high-grade.

At present, the value of colorless jade is higher than that of colored jade without quality. For example, people often say that jade is more valuable when it is green, but the value of ice-type colorless jade is higher than that of bean-type green jade.

Of course, the price of green ice jade will definitely be higher than that of colorless ice jade. In addition, people's aesthetic taste is not static. When jade was first introduced to China, people didn't pay much attention to the quality of jade. Jade with bright colors was more valuable.

At present, jadeite with high water quality is generally more valuable and has great appreciation potential, so its collection value will naturally be higher. However , from a decorative perspective, jadeite with bright colors also has very good decorative effects.

Therefore, when buying jade, you must first clarify the purpose of jade. If it is for investment and collection, we still have to choose jade that appreciates faster. If it is for wearing, then we can choose according to our own preferences.

use

For bracelets, look at the type; for pendants, look at the color.

There are many people in the industry who hold this view. Many people believe that when buying jade bracelets, water quality is more important than color, but when buying jade pendants, color is more important than water quality.

Jade bracelets are the most classic jade jewelry. They are made of a lot of materials. Jade jewelry with high prices at jewelry auctions are generally jade bracelets. Many people also give priority to jade bracelets when collecting or investing in jade.

However, most people buy jade pendants for wearing. There are many styles of pendants and it is difficult to satisfy everyone. Everyone has different aesthetic tastes. You may think a jade pendant looks good, but others may not think so. Therefore, the risk of investing in and collecting jade pendants is relatively large.

People may buy jade bracelets to wear them or to collect them. At present, jade with high water quality is generally very valuable. When buying jade bracelets, we will give priority to those with high water quality, which can be used for wearing as well as for investment.

However, the appreciation potential of jade pendants is far less than that of jade bracelets. Most people buy jade pendants for daily wear. Brightly colored jade pendants will have better decorative effects. When buying jade pendants, we should pay more attention to color.

In addition to the more common popular jadeite, more niche jadeite such as brightly colored flower-green jadeite, white-bottomed green jadeite, and high-quality blue-water jadeite and clear-water jadeite are also becoming increasingly popular among consumers.

Flower green jadeite

The color of Huaqing jadeite is not evenly distributed, and there is no regularity in its shape. It looks very "flowery" as a whole, so it is called Huaqing jadeite. The "flowers" may be scattered or concentrated together. Each piece of Huaqing jadeite has its own characteristics.

White jadeite

The color of white-based green jadeite is also relatively bright, and it is white and green alternately. The contrast between the white base and the green is quite large, so the green appears very bright. The green mostly appears in clumps. Most white-based green jadeite has low quality, but with its bright color, its value is not low.

Blue Water Jade

The color of blue water jade ranges from gray-blue to blue-green. The purer the color, the higher its value. However, there are not many pure blue water jade. Most blue water jade has some color cast. The color of blue water jade varies in depth, and the color is not rich enough, but it is evenly distributed.

Qingshui Jade

As the name suggests, the color of Qingshui jade is like a clear sky, with a hint of blue or green. Some people use the surface of a lake after the rain has stopped to describe Qingshui jade . Wearing a piece of Qingshui jade jewelry is like keeping the scenery of the sunny sky after the rain by your side.

At present, jadeite with high water quality is more valuable, but jadeite with bright colors is also worth buying. In addition to market value, people should also consider their own preferences.
