Although jade is a high-quality jade, its quality varies, and not all jade jewelry is top quality.

What kind of jade jewelry is considered top quality? If the following three aspects can be achieved to the extreme, then this piece of jade jewelry will definitely be the best.

Use the best materials

The economic base determines the superstructure. The prerequisite for top-quality jade is that the material itself must be of high quality. This is the basic condition.

The material of jade should be transparent and moist, with bright and rich colors, fine texture, and feel comfortable in the hand.

We divide jade into glass jade, ice jade, glutinous jade and bean jade according to its quality. Glass jade has the highest quality and bean jade has the lowest quality.

On the other hand, jadeite with richer colors is generally more popular. The one that appears in both green and purple is spring-colored jadeite, which is very valuable.

Tri-color jadeite that appears in green, purple and red at the same time is called Fu Lu Shou jadeite, and this type of jadeite is extremely rare.

Jade materials with bright and rich colors have high value even if their quality is not particularly high, because they give us more room for imagination.

Creativity must be extreme

After a stroll around the jade market, we found that jade ornaments with traditional themes such as Guanyin, Buddha, Pixiu, and gourd occupy half of the market.

It seems not easy for us to find a more innovative jade jewelry. In fact, this is related to the supply and demand relationship in the market.

At present, the sales volume of jade jewelry with traditional themes such as Guanyin, Buddha, and cabbage is still relatively high, and merchants do not have to worry about not being able to sell them.

In other words, if merchants choose to make more jade jewelry with traditional themes, they can not only save design costs, but also reduce the risk of inventory pressure.

If you want to innovate, it will not only cost a lot of design costs, but also take time and energy to do market research.

No matter what industry you are in, launching new products is not easy.

For various reasons, innovative and creative jade jewelry is rare, which also shows that jade jewelry that reaches the pinnacle of creativity is very precious.

Creativity is the soul of jade carving, and it also tests the level of the jade carver. In addition to superb skills, an excellent jade carver should also have bold creativity.

Craftsmanship must be perfect

Good ideas must be paired with good craftsmanship. Rough craftsmanship not only fails to showcase the creativity, but may also waste excellent ideas.

There are many subjects for jade carving, including figures, flowers, landscapes, utensils, birds and animals, etc.

Different subject matter uses slightly different standards for quality identification and value assessment.

In general, excellent jade jewelry should not only have auspicious meanings, but also be creative and innovative, and should cleverly avoid and remove flaws during the design process.

By designing suitable themes based on the characteristics of the jade material itself, the jade jewelry created will have a natural feel and be more valuable.

The quality of carving seems to be a very abstract concept, but we can still roughly divide it into 4 levels.

Jadeite with proper proportions, unique design and exquisite craftsmanship is of top quality and such jadeite jewelry is rare.

The jadeite has appropriate proportions, reasonable subject design, and although the carving is not stunning, it is smooth and natural, so it is rated as level two.

High-end jadeite on the market generally belongs to the second grade.

The overall proportions are appropriate, the surface is smooth, and the subject matter is auspicious, but the jadeite that is not selected according to the characteristics of the material is grade three.

Most of the mass-produced machine-carved jadeite on the market belongs to grade three.

Level 4 jade is usually sold at street stalls. Not only is the design unreasonable, it cannot even be guaranteed to be a natural product and has extremely low value.

From this it can be seen that materials, creativity and carving will all affect the value of jadeite. Only when all three are combined can it be called top-quality jadeite.
