Have you heard of “thick pile” jade? In fact, this is a term used in the jade industry.

Many times when I go to the wholesale market, I often hear the words thick piles, strange piles, and regular piles. Many friends who are new to the jade industry find it difficult to understand and often wonder if the merchants are speaking some jargon, but are afraid that others will know that they are newbies, so they stop asking. Today I will introduce to you in detail the so-called thick piles, strange piles and straight piles in jade .

Thick pile

"Thick" means that the distance between the upper and lower surfaces of a flat object is larger, which is the opposite of "thin".

In jade, the meaning of "thick pile" is simple and clear, if it is not thin, it is thick. So what thickness does it need to be to be called thick pile jade? Generally, it needs to be above 8mm, which also requires a comparison of the length, width and comprehensive thickness of the finished jade product to determine whether the product is a "thick pile".

In addition, it is necessary to make a judgment based on the comprehensive factors of carving. Because if a thicker jade product is carved with a hollow design, then although the jade is thick, it will not be thick after the hollowing out.

It can be seen from this that "thick piles" not only require a large thickness, but also need to be solid. "Thick pile" jade feels wide and thick when held in the hand, and has been loved and collected by jade lovers over the years. At the same time, "thick pile" jade is generally more expensive than ordinary jade, because the production of "thick pile" jade products has higher requirements for jade rough materials.

Strange pile

The "guai" in jadeite strange pile means "strange, unusual". People often talk about the term "strange pile" when it comes to jade products. So what's so strange about it? What's unusual about it?

"Strange pile" mostly refers to the shape and color of jade, as well as aspects such as carving, etc., especially the colorful carving of jade.

The "weird" color of jadeite refers to the type that is not often seen in daily wear...because its color combination is weird. It is not a single color, but mostly a mixture of yellow, red, dark green, black, white, etc.

There is also a word called "strange pile" to describe color, which is often used on bracelets. For example, a jade bracelet with a white base has a large area of ​​red on it, which is almost one-third of the bracelet. Such jade bracelets are often called "weird" jade bracelets.

Summarizing in this way, it is not difficult to find that the strange piles often mentioned in the jade industry often refer to the finished products of jade that are unique and different from others, namely "strange piles".

Positive pile

The so-called "correct pile" requires that the proportions of the bracelet's inner diameter, outer diameter, frame width, and frame thickness must be coordinated and unified. So what kind of inner and outer diameters, frame width and thickness can be considered coordinated and unified?

For example, a bracelet with a large circumference cannot be considered a regular bracelet if the frame is very small and thin. On the contrary, even a bracelet for children can be considered a regular bracelet if the proportions are perfect.

It should be noted that the so-called "zhengzhuang" is a term for jadeite, which is not necessarily linked to simple size . The focus of "zhengzhuang" is coordination and unity.
