The beauty of jade is appreciated

Jade rough goods (unpolished) beauty

Everyone who loves jade wants to own a flawless piece of jade. The magic of nature's creation, every piece of jade is unique, but flawless jade is rare, and every piece of jade has its flaws, which is what we call "the beauty of imperfections."

People who know about jade know that if they want to find a beautiful piece of jade of equal value, it should be impeccable in five aspects: "type, water, color, workmanship, and perfection." But in reality, it is difficult for natural jade to reach perfection, and it will have some flaws to a greater or lesser extent. Common defects include cracks and fissures, while miscellaneous veins, stone patterns, stone flowers (referring to the floc-like white precipitates in jade), colors, dirty spots, etc., if they reach the level of affecting the overall effect of jade, they are also considered defects.

These natural flaws in jade, except for the cracks caused by collisions, can be regarded as unique characteristics of jade.

Generally speaking, a piece of jade is rarely green all over. Except for the "green" part, the other colors are called "ground". The colors of "ground" include yellow, black, blue, purple, lake green, etc. Green is the best quality jade, followed by purple, red, etc. Generally, jade raw materials with good transparency are relatively scarce. Water, type and bottom can be generally summarized as transparency (water refers to transparency, type refers to structure, bottom refers to cracks and impurities).

To have a good piece of jade, exquisite craftsmanship is also very important. As the saying goes, "If jade is not carved, it will not be made into a useful object." The craftsmanship and material are equally important. Anything with delicate craftsmanship, well-rounded curves, and a smooth feel must be a good thing. China's jade carvings are world-renowned for the "rough elegance" of court craftsmanship, the "heavy and majestic" of Yangzhou craftsmanship, the "elegant and graceful" of southern Guangdong craftsmanship, the "refined and exquisite" of Suzhou craftsmanship, and the "delicate and innovative" of Shanghai craftsmanship, and have always been a popular collection object among investors.

It is recommended that you follow the principles of "round, thick, and pure" when choosing jade jewelry. "Regular" means the appearance should be regular; "thick" refers to the amount of material used, and is also related to the shape. Jade jewelry that looks thick and full is good, while thin ones are second best; "pure" refers to the color. It is better if the color is pure and uniform without deviation.
