Can you buy a full green jadeite Buddha for just a few thousand yuan?

A few days ago, an aunt came to consult us. She bought a jade Buddha statue at an antique stall. It was quite green. She said she paid a high price for it. She asked us to help see if she had found a great bargain. Look, the picture has also been sent, it’s the one below.

Friends who understand jadeite probably noticed something was wrong the first time they saw the Buddha statue. The color of this Buddha statue is obviously too green, especially the area on the Buddha statue's belly, which is clearly dyed and injected with glue.

After all, six thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. From a regular jade merchant, you can buy very beautiful natural A-grade jade for six thousand yuan. But to buy a full-green piece or a large piece like the one in the picture is simply a fantasy.

Jade is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Those who have some savings want to buy a piece of jade to wear with them. It is not only beautiful but also nourishing. However, choosing jade is really a dazzling thing!

Just talk about the price of jadeite, it ranges from a few yuan to hundreds or even tens of millions of yuan. It is dazzling and confusing. Different prices often represent different grades of jadeite. You get what you pay for. I wonder if the jadeite you bought matches the price?

The editor will briefly analyze it with you~ According to the price, jade can be roughly divided into six grades:

First tier: a few yuan to a hundred yuan

Jade of this grade is the worst, and even many high-end jade stores are unwilling to sell it.

Gray color, dullness and opacity are the characteristics of jadeite of this grade. The shape is common and the workmanship is rough. It is difficult to experience the feeling of "beauty" in them. It is also called brick material, but it is generally not recommended to buy it.

Second tier: more than 100 yuan to less than 1,000 yuan

The second-tier jadeite has a slightly improved quality and does not look as bad as the first-tier jadeite. There are some characteristics in one or some points of the color, quality, or craftsmanship, which gives it the beauty that jade should have. Suitable for beginners to play with.

The third tier: several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan

The third-tier jade has left the category of low-end jade and entered the ranks of mid-range jade. It has a more positive color, a slightly finer texture, and looks somewhat watery. The craftsmanship has also been greatly improved, and it is pleasing to the eye both in terms of feel and appearance.

Fourth tier: tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan

Jade of this grade can already meet the aesthetic requirements of most people. The water is transparent, the color is bright, positive, uniform and pleasing to the eye, the texture is fine, pure and transparent, there are fewer cotton, streaks and other impurities, the workmanship is also good, and the polishing is smooth.

Fifth tier: hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan

The fifth grade of jade is high-end jade and is the treasure of many jade shops. The quality and color are both of the highest quality, very pleasing to the eye, without impurities, no variegated colors, no cracks, no cotton patterns, unique design, exquisite craftsmanship, and are often the works of masters.

Sixth tier: several million yuan or more

Jadeite of this grade is extremely rare and is hard to come by. The color is bright and eye-catching, the texture is uniform and full, the crystal particles are difficult to detect with the naked eye, and it is highly transparent, as crystal clear as glass. This kind of top-quality jade is rarely seen in jade stores; it mostly appears at jade exhibitions and auctions.

The large, full-green jade Buddha statue like the one the aunt mentioned earlier has basically reached the price of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it is definitely not something that can be bought for 60,000 yuan. It’s just that the aunt didn’t understand jade and was deceived by the fake goods.

When we buy jadeite, we must first choose natural jadeite A-grade, so that it is worth buying. The second is the eye. At the price you can afford, the one you like is the best. Each piece of jadeite is unique and has its own characteristics. Don't miss the jadeite you like when you see it.
