Color is not everything about jade

When it comes to full-green jadeite, I believe the first word that comes to everyone’s mind is “expensive”. Indeed, people believe that green is more valuable for jade, and there is even a saying that "a one-level difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price." Anyone who is familiar with the jade market knows that jade with a little green in it will be more expensive, and if it is fully green it will be even more expensive. This is because visual perception plays a large role in people's purchasing decisions. Visual sense is people's first sense of cognition, which greatly affects people's purchasing choices. People habitually judge the value of jade based on its color. The full green jade is eye-catching in color and gives people a strong visual impact. Hence, there is a saying that only laymen can judge color.

Although jade is most valuable when it is green, the greener the jade is, the better it is not necessarily the case. When it comes to the value of jadeite, color is only one aspect; the most important thing is to judge it by the quality of the jadeite. This is what we often say, "only experts know the species." "Color" is not everything about jade. There are many jadeites that are obviously lacking in color but are very valuable. Yellow-green jadeite is an example of this.

Although the yellow-green jadeite is not full green in color, its market price is not low at all. Even an ordinary yellow-green jadeite pendant costs more than tens of thousands of yuan. Yellow-green jadeite is an extremely rare variety. The formation of yellow-green jadeite must have both primary green and secondary yellow. This special two-color combination is very beautiful. It is extremely difficult to achieve this effect. Moreover, this kind of jadeite is very rare and relatively rare in the market.

Therefore, this is why there is a saying in the industry that "laymen look at color, experts look at type". It also reminds everyone that when purchasing, don’t just focus on the full green characteristics of the jadeite, but also consider the quality of the jadeite. Jadeite with good quality is the best.
