There are 7 grades of jadeite. Do you know them all?

Jade has always been regarded as a treasure by people from ancient times to the present. In the nearly thousand years of history, it has demonstrated its unique cultural connotations. People and jade nourish each other, and what is "nourished" is precisely the character. To play with jade, to love jade, one must also understand jade. Today let's talk about several "qualities" of jadeite.

1. Jade is a jewelry ornament

Since jade has a wide range of colors, in addition to the common white and green, there are also yellow, purple, red, blue, etc. Each color has different expressiveness, and coupled with its warmth, it displays a beauty that other gems cannot match.

2. Jade is a rare mineral product

Jade is a non-renewable rare mineral resource with very limited reserves. After thousands of years of mining, especially modern mechanized mining, the resources of high-quality jade mines have been exhausted. It is even more difficult to obtain a piece of high-quality jade.

3. Jade is a collectible luxury item

Jade is the finest quality of jade and its value is eternal. It can be said that jade is the king of luxury goods.

As the saying goes, "Gold is valuable in troubled times, jade is valuable in prosperous times." After thousands of years, jade has not only not become unpopular, but has also stepped out of the deep palaces and wealthy families and become the first choice for the public's financial investment.

The preciousness and rarity of jade are determined by natural conditions. Scarcity makes things valuable, which is an eternal law. Therefore, there is no doubt that jade will continue to appreciate in value.

4. Jade is a work of art

Works with good meanings represent people's thoughts, wishes and emotional support. Appreciating and playing with a fine piece of jade art is a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

Therefore, appreciating jade is not just about appreciating its external beauty such as color, shape, and material, but also the implicit qualities expressed by jade and the cultural connotations it represents.

5. Jade is a health product

“People take care of jade for a while, and jade takes care of people for a lifetime.” After long-term wearing, the transparency and gloss of jadeite improve, which means people take care of jade. The long-term contact between people and jade can inadvertently massage the acupuncture points of the human body, which is called jade nourishing people.

6. Jade is a symbol of peace and good fortune

It is said that "gold represents wealth and jade represents safety". Jade carvings have many patterns, reflecting folk culture.

Jade lovers also use jade as amulets and carve them into shapes such as Ruyi, Fu Lu Shou, Guanyin, and Buddha in order to pray for peace.

7. Jade is a collection of heirlooms

Among the numerous collectible artworks, jade is rare in terms of the expensiveness and high cost of the raw materials used. This is also a feature that distinguishes it from some other artworks.

Especially for some masters' fine works, masterpieces and unique works, their artistic added value is immeasurable, so collecting fine works and masterpieces of jade can better achieve the effect of maintaining and increasing its value.

Having said so much about the quality and beauty of jade, I have to say that a small piece of jade can be said to be the embodiment of all the love.
