Taking stock of the jade industry, the top five jade

If you are new to jade, you may find that when experts talk about the price of jade, they often use confusing words such as "big three", "middle four" and "small five". In fact, this is the terminology of the jade industry. It is the same in every industry. The jargon is a description of the price range of jade, and there is room for negotiation. Insiders like to use these words.

Many people may be curious, why don’t people just use numbers to describe prices? Aren’t numbers more intuitive? This has a lot to do with the particularity of the industry. As the saying goes, "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless." The price of jade will change with different people, time, purchasing channels, and opportunities. Therefore, the price of jade is usually not fixed and fluctuates greatly. Therefore, when you ask jade experts to give you an appraisal, they usually will not give you an accurate number directly, and this is not absolute.

Although the pricing of jade products varies, the standards for judging the value of jade in the industry are consistent, and quality determines the value of jade.

Experts usually estimate the value of jadeite based on its type, water, color, and workmanship, which is what we often call jadeite appraisal.

As we all know, jade has very rich colors, but green is the most important, followed by purple, yellow, red, etc. The color of jade can be bright, deep, or thick. Therefore, any subtle difference will result in different prices for jade.

The carving of jade is also very important. Plain jade is good, but it also requires very high carving. The polishing should be delicate and the grinding should be careful, otherwise the plain jade will not be so beautiful. If we encounter some jade with more elaborate carvings, we should observe it more carefully. The key point is to see whether there are any flaws in the complex carvings.

At this time, it would be appropriate to use terms such as "big three", "small four", "medium five" to describe the price range to reply to the person asking the price.

In this way, the approximate range of jade prices is given, the error will not be too large, and it will give people a more intuitive feeling. As for terms like "big three", "middle four" and "small five", we should break them down into two words, namely "big three", "middle four" and "small five".

Among them, the first word "big", "medium" and "small" refers to the size range of the numbers.

The number range for "small" is 1, 2, 3, the number range for "medium" is 4, 5, 6, and the number range for "large" is 7, 8, 9.

At the same time, in some cases, we will also encounter the situation of "small five and three open". So what does “three openings” mean?

First of all, "Xiaowu" is in the range of 10,000 to 39,999 yuan, and "Sankai" refers to 30,000 to 39,999 yuan within this range.

By analogy, the quotation range for "40% to 60%" is 6,000 to 6,999 yuan, which is more detailed.

This way of quoting may seem a bit complicated to outsiders, but it will be fine if you understand it carefully. The jade industry is indeed profound and extensive.
