How much do you know about the secrets of jade rings?

Rings are the first choice for modern people as a marriage token and are also widely used as decorations in daily life.

In the past, pure gold (24K gold) was used to set jadeite rings. In recent years, 18K gold has gradually been used. 18K gold is harder than 24K gold and can be made into claw-set styles, which makes the jade ring face more exposed, more solid, and enhances the charm of jade.

Jade ring faces. Since jade is hard jade, it is always cut into a plain surface (also known as a curved surface). Based on the shape of the ring face, the most common ones are egg-shaped (oval), pear-shaped, marquise-shaped, nostalgic-shaped, saddle-shaped, square, and heart-shaped.

The most common shape is the egg-shaped (oval). The carving of many gemstone ring faces has specific size and thickness requirements, but jade ring faces need to be cut according to color, soil and raw materials.

Generally, the major and minor axes of an ellipse differ by 2 mm. The specifications include 8*10, 7*9, 10*12, 20*16, etc. The larger the size, the more valuable it is in geometric progression.

The thickness of a jade ring face is very important and will directly affect its value.

A ring face with good color, good quality, double convexity, large thickness and large curvature can increase the crystal clearness and brightness of jadeite, and the color is more pleasing to the eye, so the value of such a ring face is higher. A ring face with a small thickness will leak light, so its value will naturally be lower.

There is a kind of ring face with a hollow bottom on the market now. Most of them are made because the color of the raw material is too dark and the material is very dry, so the method of hollowing the bottom is used to make light easier to pass through, increasing the sense of transparency and making the color look lighter and brighter. This kind of ring face is called thin parallel import. If it is dug too deep, it will be like a domed eggshell. It is a thin layer and is very easy to break due to impact. Therefore, unscrupulous merchants will fill a thick layer of resin underneath to protect it.

The size and thickness requirements of a pear-shaped jade ring face are similar to those of an egg-shaped ring face.

Generally speaking, nostalgic-shaped and saddle-shaped jade ring faces are not too thick. They are usually made of dark-colored jade raw materials. You can observe their thickness from the side when purchasing.

Since most jade ring faces are made using a plain cutting process, they must have color, bright and even color, and preferably a certain depth. As the saying goes, "Small pieces require color, large pieces require water", which refers to the picky attitude towards the color of the ring faces. In addition, there must be no major flaws or cracks inside the ring surface.
