Buy jade? Experts suggest you at least be aware of these jargons!

Every industry has its own jargon, and every sentence embodies the wisdom and experience of predecessors.

Therefore, every jargon is worth our careful consideration. A thorough understanding can help you accumulate a lot of experience in a short period of time and avoid many detours. Therefore, you have to understand some jargon about jade!

No Cotton, No Jade

Many friends always think that jade without cotton is the best, just like transparent glass jade, and think that cotton is a flaw of jade.

In fact, a lot of cotton in jade that is invisible to the naked eye can be seen under a magnifying glass. As the saying goes, “no cotton, no jade.” Cotton is a unique structure of jade, and a small amount of cotton is a natural sign of jade.

No locks, no covering of flowers

What does it mean? Simply put, high-end jadeite with natural beauty is the most expensive. If a piece of raw jade is flawless, it does not need any carving or modification. Generally speaking, jadeite with carved patterns already has flaws, and carving is only to cover up the flaws.

Of course, the exquisite carving skills and good water quality can still impress many people!

Watching the green with a cold eye

The so-called "dyed green" refers to dyed jade, such as B-grade or C-grade jade.

Many merchants who are blinded by profit will make fake jade through means such as "showering", "bathing" and "coating" to make its color bright and increase its value. Therefore, when you see jade with overly bright colors, you must calm down and be "cool-eyed" and not be fooled by its enchanting appearance.

Don't look at color under the lamp

Speaking of not observing the color under the light, I would like to remind my jade friends not to take photos under the light anymore. It is unscientific to observe jade under the light.

Because the effects of jade under light and under natural light are completely different, the visual effect under light is much better than the color effect under natural light, which can easily mislead consumers or evaluators. Therefore, when purchasing jade, be sure to view it under natural light, not under lights.

Even gods cannot recognize a piece of jade

"Even a god cannot recognize an inch of jade" is mainly aimed at jadeite gambling stones, because it is difficult to infer the quality of its internal structure based on the surface characteristics of the gambling stone. Although there are rules to follow in general, it is often difficult to identify if one does not have a solid foundation in jadeite professional knowledge. In some special cases, even a god finds it difficult to identify.

There is water wherever there is a dragon

The "dragon" here refers to the green color in jadeite. You can also understand it as green jadeite being the first among all jadeites. Generally speaking, the green parts of a piece of jade are better than the parts without jade.

Even the same piece of jade can have different textures.

Gold has a price, jade is priceless

It is well known that gold has a price but jade is priceless. Why do we say that?

The price of gold can be calculated by weight according to international market conditions, but jadeite does not have any unit at all. This is because there are too many factors that affect the value of jadeite, and it all depends on quality rather than quantity. A small piece of jadeite may be worth millions, while a palm-sized piece of jadeite may only be worth a few thousand or a few hundred dollars.

A piece of shit land produces high green

Generally speaking, the jadeite with good quality and green color will not be too bad, but we cannot ignore the jadeite with shitty ground around us. Although it is not absolute, every "shitty ground" has the probability of high-grade green color. Maybe you will get rich accidentally, haha!

One color difference means ten times the price difference

The fact that “a one-level color difference results in a ten-fold price difference” shows how huge the value gap of jadeite can be. For high-end jadeite bracelets, the price difference may be more than ten times.

"Type, water, color, and workmanship" are important factors affecting the value of jadeite. When comparing the value of jadeite of different colors, the other three conditions must be kept the same.

Laymen look at the color, experts look at the species

When choosing jadeite, many people in the industry mainly look at the type of jadeite, while laymen mainly look at the color.

For example, some jadeite is very green in color, but its water quality is very poor and its texture is rough. It gives people a shriveled feeling, and it is not lively and lacks the spirituality unique to jadeite. On the contrary, if a piece of jade has good water quality, even if its color is average, it will still appear crystal clear. Who would care about its color?
