"Emerald flowers bloom", experts explain in detail that the flowers of jade are not necessarily floating flowers, this is very important

The "flower" in jade does not mean blooming. Jade flowers can be roughly divided into two types: one is color and the other is carving.

color

Among the rich colors of jade, only beautiful green is the authentic gem color of jade. Therefore, the concept of "flower" gradually emerged in the concept of jade.

The "flowers" of jadeite refer to some scattered, flower- and grass-like colors distributed in the jade flesh.

There are many kinds of color flower shapes, such as blue, black, purple, green and other colors can all be called "flowers", and they can be called blue flower (including black flower) jade, garden (purple) flower jade, colored flower jade, etc.

From the perspective of color, there are two concepts of jade "flower" in a broad sense and a narrow sense.

In a broad sense, some green colors that are not very tightly bound, such as scattered green or lighter green, can be called flowers. This is called "color flower" or "bean flower", and is sometimes also called "indigo".

We can also call pure color jadeite with lighter color or uneven distribution of light and dark colors "Yuanhua".

In addition, jade’s black flowers, blue flowers, blue-green flowers, etc. can be collectively referred to as “blue flowers”.

"Flower" in a narrow sense refers only to "blue flower". Only the intrinsic color (natural color) of jadeite can be called "flower". Any secondary color cannot be called flower.

For example, if the skin and fog of jade are red, yellow and other colors, they cannot be called flowers but can only be called the "color" of jade.

"Flower" is a very important color that makes up jade. A good "flower" can embellish jade and make it more beautiful and elegant.

At Myanmar's jade auction, blue-flowered jadeite is very popular. In the finished product market, jade bracelets with floating flowers are in great demand.

All these are enough to show the importance of "flowers" in jade.

The colors and distribution patterns of jade flowers are varied, complex and numerous.

However, in classification, people usually adopt the principle of "abandoning complexity and keeping it simple" and do not make too detailed classifications.

According to the main colors of the flowers, we can divide jade with flowers into three types: colored flower jade, garden flower jade, and blue flower jade.

Colored Jade

The flowers scattered in the base are green, which is called colored flower jade. It can also be called flower green jade or bean flower jade.

In colored jadeite, the green color is lighter and more scattered, the color is not tightly connected, and there are no dense color bands.

Because the green color is not bright enough, it cannot be made into plain jewelry pieces such as ring faces, so it is mostly carved into flower pendants, bracelets or ornaments.

This kind of jade material is usually called "flower material", and large pieces are called "color piles".

Garden Flower Jade

Pure-colored jade is generally lighter in color, so purple jade is usually regarded as "pillar material" or garden flower material.

In pure color jade, purple jade often contains some light green, which is called flower-colored jade, or what we often call spring-colored jade.

Only a very small number of rich and colorful garden flower jadeite that can be carved into ring faces can be called color material, but this is extremely rare.

Blue Flower Jade

In jade, there are often some blue, blue-green, and blue-black minerals, distributed in the jade base in scattered, spotted, vein-like or network-like forms, like flowers and plants. These are the blue flowers of jade.

The blue flowers in jade do not actually refer specifically to a single blue color. It covers a wide range of colors, including black, black blue, gray-blue, blue to blue-green, green-gray and other cool tones.

The appearance of blue flowers not only enriches the color of jade, but also improves the grade of jade to a certain extent.

engraving

Among jade jewelry, one of the most common styles is jade flower pieces.

In addition to the color of jade "flowers", in jade carving, jade "flowers" refer to flower pieces.

Jade flower pieces are versatile and suitable for anyone to wear as long as the meaning is appropriate.

So, how do we choose jade flower pieces that are worth the money?

When we get a flower piece, the first thing we look at is its shape and craftsmanship.

Whether its shape is lovely, whether it is artistic, whether the theme is prominent, these are the soul of a floral piece.

The quality of flower pieces is as important as bracelets and ring faces.

As the saying goes, "The layman looks at the color, the expert looks at the type." When we choose, we must make a careful and comprehensive analysis.

There is another point we need to pay attention to, that is, the prices of flower pieces with full colors and flower pieces with only partial colors can differ greatly.

Full-color floral pieces are much more expensive.

It is often said in the industry: "No strands can hide the flowers." When it comes to flower pieces, there is no need to be too picky about flaws.

When looking at flower pieces, we can lower our standards for defects and not have too high requirements.
