How to choose jade ornaments? These points are crucial! Learn to maintain value and look good~

Jade ornaments are works of art that are both ornamental and collectible. Due to the expensive materials used in their production, their prices are also relatively high.

Therefore, when purchasing jade ornaments, you must have certain knowledge so that the ornaments you choose are worth the money. So, how do we choose jade ornaments?

Today, Sister Xu will teach you some tips on jade ornaments, which can ensure the ornamental value and get the best value for money.

1

Good material

As large-scale carved artworks, the requirements for material selection when purchasing jade ornaments are not as high as those for jade accessories.

But it does not mean that just any piece of jade will do. When purchasing jade ornaments, we try to choose natural, warm and translucent ones, and pay attention to whether there are relatively large cracks.

Larger cracks not only affect the appearance, but are also unsafe.

2

Carving requires skill

When purchasing jade ornaments, the most important thing to look at is the carving.

After all, there are no very strict requirements on the material, so carving is naturally needed to make up for it. Jade ornaments with skillful carvings are also highly ornamental and collectible.

In the eyes of excellent jade carvers, every piece of natural jade is carefully designed by the Creator, and what the jade carver has to do is to show the connotation of jade.

Whether utilizing the color of the jade itself or utilizing the shape of the jade itself, it will give the jade a unique soul and highlight its magnificence and beauty.

3

The design should be novel

The quality of the same piece of jade is different, so we should make full use of the quality of the jade, which is what the industry often says, "apply art according to the material, and construct according to the material."

If used well, it can turn decay into magic, conceal flaws and highlight the virtues, and show the respective characteristics of the different qualities of each part of the jade.

Therefore, the ornaments must be cleverly designed, with clear priorities, prominent themes, and clear meanings, in order to resonate with people.

4

Choose the subject according to the location

Ornaments of different themes can only display their greatest value when placed in appropriate locations.

For example, if you want to attract wealth, if it is a statue of Guan Gong or the God of Wealth in the company, it is best to place it about 1/3 of the distance from the door in the company lobby, and it should be placed in the center.

The Guanyin statue that brings peace should be hidden in the inner room to protect the home.

5

Match the shape and color according to the environment

The shape and color of jade ornaments should match the environment. Avoid using too conflicting colors, as that would appear out of place. After all, ornaments are about antique style.

Also, pay attention to the lighting environment. Generally speaking, jade looks most beautiful under the halogen lamp used for jewelry, is less beautiful under ordinary white fluorescent lamps, and can best show its true color under daytime outdoor light.
