The most important quality of jade

When a piece of jade is placed in front of you, what is the most intuitive thing that comes to your mind at first glance, besides the quality of the jade, is of course the color. Nature is a magical creator. Over billions of years, it has created jade with a variety of colorful colors. So, what aspects do we consider when we look at the color of jade?

❖Color concentration

The Greatest Emperor

When we talk about the color concentration of jade, we are referring to the saturation of its color. In simple terms, the color concentration refers to the depth of the color, just like colorless jade is very light, while ink color is very dark.

Normally, the most intuitive way to judge the concentration of jade is the color of jade and the depth of the color. When choosing jade, many collectors will choose jade of different color concentrations according to their own preferences. For example, older people prefer jade with darker colors, while young people prefer jade with lighter colors.

❖Color purity

The purity of jadeite's color has a great impact on the value of the work. Take green jadeite for example. Both are green. True green jadeite is a high-end work, but if the color is off-color, its grade will be different. The degree of color deviation or the color it leans towards will affect its value. Of course, if these colors can be used well during the creation, it will also show unexpected effects.

❖Color uniformity

Uneven color is a characteristic of jadeite. Jadeite is composed of countless tiny crystals. The color of the crystals cannot be uniform. The uniformity of jadeite observed from different angles and directions will show different uniformity.

The more uniform the color of jadeite, the higher its value. For example, if you put a jadeite bracelet in front of you, if its green color fills the entire space and is evenly distributed, it will look beautiful and comfortable. On the contrary, if its green color only occupies a general space, it will give people a visual feeling of imperfection, and the judgment of its value will be affected.

But release the nature of jade

The three realms of jade are, space is greater than shape, shape is greater than image, and where there is shape there must be image - this is the first realm; less is more, try to reduce the image to a minimum, increase the imagination and the beauty of the material - this is the second realm; entering the state of nothingness, creating something out of nothing - this is the third realm. And for different people, feelings and perceptions are very different. Especially for intangible and abstract things, they test people's first impression.
