Many people also have this idea when buying jade. For jade jewelry of the same price, they would rather choose large, slightly rough popular styles. They will also dislike the small, exquisite, and delicate specialty jade because it is too small and not eye-catching enough and eventually give up. However, jade is not like gold, which is priced simply by weight, and the style and craftsmanship can be ignored. The type, water content, color, and workmanship of each piece of jade are different, and the value of jade is also different. Even if there is a slight difference, its price can differ many times. Similarly, the value of jade cannot be said to mean that the bigger the size, the higher the price, unless there are two pieces of jade that are almost the same in color, water quality, and carving, then only can it be said that the bigger the size, the higher the price! Since jadeite cannot be priced by weight, how is it priced? The price of jadeite can be divided according to grades. Most of the commercial jadeite on the market is produced in Myanmar, so it is also called "Myanmar Jade". Jadeite can be divided into three grades: 1. Special grade jadeite: When talking about special grade jadeite, we have to mention our Imperial Green, which can be said to be the jadeite that many jade lovers can't dream of. Secondly, some emerald and apple green colors are also special grade jadeite colors. They are all bright in texture, generally free of impurities, showing the transparency of glass texture, without cracks, and mainly good in color. 2. Medium grade: The color is pure green, oily green, the texture is slightly transparent, the purity is not as good as the top grade jadeite, interspersed with translucent emerald green and dots of emerald green. 3. Ordinary level: The color is bean green, light green, white, the texture is fine, and it is slightly transparent or opaque. After understanding the grade classification of jadeite, we can evaluate the price of jadeite based on its color, water quality, size, carving, etc.! Color: The color of jade is not the darker the better, or the brighter the better. Jade is valuable mainly because of its green color. Generally, the more green it is and the more evenly it is distributed, the higher its value. Water quality: People in the industry say "experts look at the quality, laymen look at the color". Generally, novices look at the color first to distinguish the value, while veterans usually look at the quality. A jade with good quality and full water content is excellent, and therefore has a higher value! As for the jadeite on the market, glass type is generally the best, followed by ice type, and finally white-based green. Size: Under the same quality, the bigger the better. After all, large pieces of jade are rare. But it is not the most important criterion. Some jade with good material, beautiful color and good water quality is naturally more valuable! Carving: Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. Finely carved jade always has a higher price. In addition, jade with carvings can add many highlights if designed properly. Some clever designs can also cover up some of the jade’s flaws and increase its beauty! Therefore, from all aspects, jade is not the only criterion for judging its value, nor is it the fundamental criterion. The bigger the jade is, the better it is. It still depends on its overall quality! fcgc66 fcpf18 |
