How to choose a jade ring face?

When many jade lovers are cutting materials for private customization, after the materials have been processed into other finished products, they will say: The remaining scraps are of no use anyway, so please grind them into a few ring faces for me.

I want to ask, have you ever considered the feelings of the ring face?

I guess many people think that since the ring face looks so small, it should be easy to make and definitely not as expensive as bracelets or necklaces.

You are wrong to think so.

From a professional perspective, although jade ring faces are small in size, they are a type of jewelry that has the highest requirements for jade quality, and the requirements for materials used are also the highest.

This statement is not an exaggeration at all. A small jade ring of average quality can be sold for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. A high-quality one can even be sold for millions or tens of millions. Isn't it beyond your imagination?

Why are jade ring faces so expensive?

Because jade rings have very high requirements on the material type, water content, and color. The jade must be very old, have plenty of water, and have a very clean base. There must be no cotton wool, black spots or blemishes. If it is a colored ring, the color must also be uniform like jade.

To make jade ring faces, first of all, you need a good raw material. It has thickness requirements and cannot have cracks. When cutting, you also need to find the right direction for the knife and cut along the colored area. Several pieces of color material can be cut out, and those with cracks or unsatisfactory colors can be cut out. Then the cut color material must be ground and cut, ready to be processed into ring faces. The processing of jade ring faces requires a lot of attention. If it is not cut properly, then the jade raw stone will be directly ruined. The processing requires great care.

Because the ring face is not carved at all, there is no way to cover up or modify it through carving. It only shows the original natural beauty of the jade through polishing and polishing. Any small flaw will be magnified exponentially and affect the value of the ring face.

To sum up the business rule: Scarcity makes things valuable!

Jade ring faces can be designed and made into rings, pendants, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry. Some jade lovers choose to buy naked ring faces, design and inlay them themselves, which is often much more cost-effective than buying finished products.

Generally speaking, when choosing a jade ring face, you should choose one that either has excellent water quality or perfect color. If you meet certain conditions, you can choose both.

Jade ring faces are sometimes also called jade egg-shaped faces, because most of their shapes are perfect circles, ovals or semi-circles. Of course, there are also square, saddle-shaped, marquise-shaped, or other special shapes, but for the sake of convenience of communication, they are all called egg-shaped faces.

There is also a more special type of ring faces, which are those that have been carved, such as the Pixiu, the Golden Toad, etc. Sometimes the material is of very good quality, but is relatively small, and has some problems such as cotton. They can be carved and made into ring faces.

In terms of price, under the premise of the same water quality and size, colorless ring faces are usually the cheapest, ranging from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan, depending on the size, water quality and so on.

The price of ring faces with a base color is slightly higher than that of colorless ones. The cheaper ones can cost several hundred yuan, but the more expensive ones can also be very expensive.

The value of colored ring faces is much higher. There are colored violet and full green ring faces, which basically start at tens of thousands. Those with good quality and large size are in the millions or even tens of millions.

How to choose a jade ring face?

1. Look at the size of the ring face.

The size of the jade ring face has a key influence on its price. A ring face that is too small will not be worth much even if its quality and color are good. Generally speaking, ladies prefer exquisite ring faces, while men prefer relatively larger ones.

2. Look at the color of the ring face.

For a ring face, the most important thing is the color, which directly affects its price. The most taboo thing about egg-shaped noodles is color. Even if the species and color are good, but the color is flowery, then such material is not suitable for making egg-shaped noodles.

3. Check the cracks on the ring surface.

Problems such as cracks, white cotton, black spots, etc. are very normal on flower pieces, bracelets, and necklaces, but these are defects on egg-shaped surfaces and will affect their value, so you should pay attention to these defects when choosing.

4. Look at the polishing of the ring surface.

Polishing affects the beauty and gloss of jadeite. If a jadeite is well polished, its gloss will naturally be very good, so this is also something that must be paid attention to.
