How we choose jade bracelets has become a topic of particular concern to everyone. In fact, choosing a bracelet is not as complicated as everyone imagines. The key is to master 5 "attention points": 1. Look at the water quality There is a saying in the jade industry that "laymen look at the color, experts look at the quality", which means that whether you are choosing a bracelet or an egg-shaped jade, you must first look at the quality of the jade, which is the fundamental principle. "Species" refers to the size of jade crystals. The most accepted ones are the following: Glass type, as the name suggests, is like glass. It has dense crystals inside, extremely fine particles, and the highest transparency among jadeite. Nowadays, it is rare to find such jade bracelets on the market, and the price must be very high. If you don't understand the goods and think they are cheap, the merchant will definitely ignore you. Ice type, the surface gloss is very good, translucent to transparent, icy and jade-like, full of water, very transparent, and has very good texture. Ice jade bracelets are mid-to-high-end jewelry that we often see on the market. The glutinous variety has fine grains and is slightly transparent, but the internal structure is hazy and indistinguishable, just like glutinous rice soup. The bean variety has a strong granular feel, arranged like beans, and its transparency is generally weak. 2. Look at the color Common colors of jade bracelets include colorless, green, white, yellow, red, brown, purple, blue, black (black jade, black chicken), etc. We often say that "yellow, green, and purple jade are the most valuable", but green has always been the most popular color of jade, and with the same quality, it has the highest price. Are all things green equally valuable? Of course not. There are many categories of green, and their values vary greatly. Depending on the color depth, there are imperial green, emerald green, sun green, apple green, spinach green, boxwood green and so on. 3. Look for defects Common bracelet defects include cotton, lines, cracks, impurities, and variegated colors. The standard for distinguishing lines and cracks is generally whether there is touch. Those that cannot be buckled are called lines, and those that can be buckled are called cracks. Bracelets with obvious cracks are generally priced at least half or even lower. Relatively speaking, bracelets with cracks have a very high cost-effectiveness. Very minor cracks are generally acceptable (except for those with a perfection complex). But you must avoid bracelets with horizontal cracks, and never buy one if you encounter such a bracelet. Cotton also has a great impact on the price, except for the snowflake cotton from Mu Na or Moshi Sha, which is a plus for jade bracelets or brands; defects such as variegated color, black spots, dirty spots, miscellaneous veins, and lithiasis will affect the value of jade. 4. Look at the workmanship Whether the jade bracelet is well polished, whether the rim is straight, whether the shape is uniform, etc. will have a great impact on its value. 5. Check authenticity There are indeed some unscrupulous merchants who are producing and selling counterfeit goods, which we often call B goods, C goods, B+C goods or D goods. The method to check whether a jade bracelet is genuine is actually very simple: refer to the appraisal certificate (be careful of fake certificates, it must be a certificate issued by a regular appraisal agency). As for so-called "expert appraisals" or some businesses' so-called valuation and identification by sending a few pictures, don't take them seriously! “No one is perfect, and no jade is perfect.” It is inevitable that natural things have flaws. To love jade, you must be calm; only then can you be as gentle as jade! As for jade bracelets, let us cherish every encounter and value what we have now!
