How to choose a jade ruyi?

1. Jadeite germplasm

This jade Ruyi is transparent in texture. If you put your hand behind the Ruyi and move it, you can clearly see the shadow of your moving hand from the front. For jadeite with a very rich green color, it has reached the glass grade. The luster of this jade is very oily and soft, like the soft light of velvet, with an oily luster like glass. This is one of the best types of jade.

2. Jadeite Craftsmanship

Simplicity is beauty, but attention to details. The craftsmanship of Jade Ruyi is concise yet not simple, and the overall materials are very complete and full. With just a few strokes, the Ruyi shape is portrayed vividly. The brush strokes are casual and the shape is neat, which shows the carving skills. There are large areas of plain surface on both the front and back of the Ruyi, and there are no traces of flaws or cracks where there are patterns, which shows the rarity of the raw material itself. To examine the craftsmanship of a jade piece, one must look at the details of the piece; the more subtle the details, the more evident the carving skills.

3. Jade Shape

The shape of jade does not require creativity, but requires "rules". Creative shapes are often due to the limitations of the raw materials themselves, such as large cracks that need to be avoided, wide and narrow green parts, or the material itself is leftover material. The shape is naturally what experts call "following the shape." And good quality complete materials must be carved into decorative pieces with neat shapes. For example, the shape of jade ruyi is often very regular square or round, which is both soft and powerful. The lines on the front and back are very smooth and natural. In addition, it depends on whether it is full or not. It cannot be too thin.

4. The meaning of jade

my country's traditional jade culture emphasizes that "the pattern must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious." Wearing a jade pendant with auspicious meaning not only serves as a decoration, but also brings auspiciousness to the heart, implying good fortune, longevity, health, luck, and many children.
