Gold vs. Jade, how would you choose?

"Why is it so rare? It jumps off the wrist." Since ancient times, bracelets have been one of the most indispensable jewelry for women. They not only embellish women's appearance and temperament, but also carry countless beautiful meanings.

So the question is, when choosing the material for a bracelet, is it better to choose a noble gold bracelet or a warm jade bracelet?

Good Gold vs. Beautiful Jade

As the saying goes, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Putting aside the method of gold inlaid with jade, if you have to choose between a pure gold bracelet and a jade bracelet, you may want to compare them from the following different angles.

1. Comfort

Women who are used to wearing bracelets in their daily lives probably keep their bracelets on most of the time.

Since it needs to be worn for a long time, comfort is a factor that must be considered.

In this regard, although the gold bracelet is overall thinner and softer than jade, it is metal after all, so it is inevitably a bit stiff and uncomfortable to wear.

The biggest feature of jade is its warmth, and it feels very comfortable and friendly to the touch, so in terms of comfort, jade bracelets win.

However, whether it is a gold bracelet or a jade bracelet, flat bars are more comfortable than round bars. If you want to wear it for a long time, try to choose a flat bracelet that fits your wrist.

2. Technology

The shape of the bracelet looks simple, but it also requires effort. The processing of jade bracelets and gold bracelets is very different.

Jade is hard and cannot be reshaped. It requires one-piece molding and needs to be carved with great care to avoid cracks and flaws. Therefore, not only is it very wasteful of material, but there are only relatively simple styles such as the peace bracelet, blessing bracelet, imperial concubine bracelet, and crafted bracelet.

The craftsmanship of gold bracelets is much richer. Because of their soft texture, they can be carved with all kinds of complex patterns, making them more exquisite and gorgeous.

3. Value

As the saying goes, gold has a price but jade is priceless , there is also a big difference in judging the value of gold and jade.

Jade is priceless, which means both that top-grade jade is a priceless treasure and that jade does not have a clear and fixed price . This is because there are too many factors that affect jade , and there is only a rough price range, and it is impossible to price it based on standards such as gram weight and clarity.

This flexible pricing method, coupled with its scarce reserves, gives jade the same appreciation potential as antiques and cultural relics, which is something gold does not have.

In contrast, as a general equivalent, the value of gold is very stable, which means it has the ability to maintain its value. As a gold jewelry, the price of a gold bracelet will not fluctuate too much.

However, in terms of "recycling", gold has a higher usable value . If you are not satisfied or don't like it, you can still go for secondary processing, but jade cannot be recycled.
