Jade rings are recognized as high-end jewelry and are now widely favored. They can be divided into two categories: inlaid rings and plain rings.

1. The main shapes of inlaid rings are egg-shaped, saddle, horse eye, teardrop, heart-shaped, rectangular, nostalgic, casual, and irregular. Among them, egg-shaped jadeite is the most common and the most popular.

2. Plain rings do not require a ring setting and can be worn directly on the finger. Because of their large size, the prices are generally very high.

1. Look at the shape

There are three shapes of jade ring faces: double convex, flat convex, and concave convex. The double convex shape has the highest value, followed by flat convex, and concave convex has the lowest value. The proportions of its length, width and height should be coordinated.

2. Look at the inlay and production

The materials of jade rings include platinum, yellow gold, rose gold, K gold, silver and other materials, and there are several setting methods such as claw setting, clip setting and bezel setting.

3. Look at the size

Colored jade, especially green, is rare and hard to come by and is not usually easy to polish. The larger the size of the oval jade ring face, the higher its value.

4. Look at the thickness

The thicker the jade egg-shaped surface, the greater its brightness and transparency.

What are the pitfalls when buying jade rings?

Bottom

The following two bottom lines are generally accepted and considered optimizations:

1. White ring faces basically have no bottom covers, while most green and purple ring faces have bottom covers.

2. When the color of the ring face appears dark and dull, it is usually padded with white to brighten the overall tone; when the green ring face is bluish-gray or lighter, it is usually padded with yellow to make the green look more sunny.

Bottom coloring

Some ring faces will have the bottom painted in addition to the padding. There will be a big difference in color between the side and front of the ring face, which is a form of processing. Remove the green film on the bottom of the ring and wipe it off with alcohol.

Bottom coloring? Glossy powder dyeing and color wax

The surface of the ring face dyed with polished powder is more uniform. Under a magnifying glass, the dye will be distributed on the surface along the gaps between the particles. The color is unnatural and it is easy for ordinary people to be mistaken. The jade ring face coated with colored wax generally has obvious scratches, which can be scraped off with fingers and are relatively rare.
