Do you have any idea about the size of jadeite? Don't let your eyes deceive you

Regarding jadeite, in addition to its quality, color, and workmanship, its thickness is also an important factor in determining its quality and price. It is reported that many jade lovers are confused as to why the jadeite looks very large in the live broadcast, but is only so small after receiving it?

Many jade lovers felt cheated and returned the products in anger. In fact, this is really unfair to the merchants. There are two reasons for this psychological gap: one is the magnifying effect of the lens. In order to allow jade lovers to see the details of the jade clearly, the jade must be naturally put close to the lens. The closer it is, the clearer it can be seen, and the bigger it appears.

The second reason is that jade lovers do not have a clear concept of the size units of jade.

In daily life, the units of measurement we commonly use are meters and centimeters, while the unit of measurement commonly used for jade is millimeters.

For example, you may have heard the term "thick pile", which refers to jadeite that is quite thick. The size is generally above 8mm. If you convert it, it is actually only 0.8 cm. It can be seen that this thickness is very different from the thickness that everyone is used to.

When choosing jade jewelry, in addition to looking at the quality, color, and workmanship, thickness is also a factor that cannot be ignored. In theory, for jade of the same quality, the thicker the better, but the actual selection also varies from person to person.

Thickness of Jade Pendant:

The key points in purchasing jade pendants have little to do with thickness. Generally, more attention is paid to color, water quality, workmanship, etc. But in terms of weight, the thicker the more expensive it is. For example, the thicker the large hand-held pieces, the thicker and smoother they feel.

Thickness of Jade Bracelet:

When choosing a bracelet, many friends only look at the width, and few people pay attention to the thickness. In fact, a bracelet that is too thin and too thin can be easily broken if you are not careful. Moreover, for jadeite of the same width, the thicker it is, the more expensive the bracelet will naturally be.

Thickness of Jade Cabochon:

When choosing jade egg-shaped faces, many people often confuse the concepts of thickness and length. For example, how can a 3mm diameter egg-shaped face be 5mm thick?

When the thickness reaches 3mm, it is no longer an egg-shaped egg, but a bead with a diameter of 3mm. Therefore, the largest number in jade egg-shaped surface size is the length rather than the thickness.

In fact, the thickness of jade must correspond to the length and width, and it will be beautiful if the proportions are right. For example, shapes such as water drop and egg-shaped jade are generally not too thick, because they will not look beautiful if they are too thick. Of course, there are also extremely thick and fine ones, with first-class color, but the price of such jade is naturally not a small amount.

There are two ways to know the size of jadeite intuitively. One is to use professional measuring tools, such as vernier and calipers; the other is to use reference objects, such as coins.
