Have you fallen into these four common misunderstandings in jade appreciation?

Jade is a profound subject and the factors that measure its value are quite complex, requiring comprehensive consideration of all aspects. As a result, many beginners in jade appreciation often fall into misunderstandings about jade appreciation. Have you fallen into this trap? Let us learn about it today, so as not to step on thunder again next time——

First, there is a mistaken belief that jadeite that does not change color must be genuine. In fact, not to mention that B-grade jadeite is usually only treated with acid immersion and glue injection, even dyed C-grade jadeite can maintain its bright color for more than ten years.

Secondly, there is a mistaken belief that the older the jade, the better. The "old" here does not refer to old mines, but to the long time since it was mined. But in fact, the collection value of jadeite has no distinction between ancient and modern times. It depends more on its color, water quality, and whether there are any flaws.

If it is a finished product after polishing, factors such as craftsmanship and size need to be considered. Simply put, the jadeite from the Qing Dynasty that some friends overly praise is not necessarily of high value. After all, people's aesthetic taste for jadeite at that time was more focused on its bright colors, and they did not pay too much attention to its quality.

Third, people mistakenly believe that all green jade is good. It is true that "green is the most valuable color of jadeite", but there are also five major standards for judging the quality of color: "positive, rich, bright, uniform, and lively". If the green of jadeite appears evil, dark, and has no water quality, its value will also be greatly reduced.

Fourth, there is a mistaken belief that the more complex the jade carving process is, the better. In fact, most of the high-quality materials will be made into simple jade bracelets, jade eggs, etc., so as to show the natural beauty of jade as much as possible and minimize the loss of jade materials.

As for some jade products with quite complicated carving techniques, apart from some "clever and precise" processing based on the color, size and other characteristics of the jade material, the possibility of cracks, dirt and defects hidden during the carving process cannot be completely ruled out.

How about it? Have you fallen into the above misunderstandings? Now, do you have some understanding?
