At Poly's Spring Auction's Brilliant Jewelry special session, a natural Burmese jadeite and diamond pendant named "Imperial Jade" by the Swiss Gubelin Laboratory and a Cartier necklace inlaid with natural Burmese jadeite beads and diamonds were sold for HK$46.492 million and HK$21.24 million respectively, taking the top two spots in the special session. Looking at many auctions, imperial green jadeite items always give people surprising prices. But you only know that Imperial Green Jadeite is sold at sky-high prices at auctions, but how much do you know about Imperial Green? Why is it called "Imperial Green", why is it so valuable, and what is its unknown relationship with emerald? Origin of the name Do you know the origin of the name Imperial Green? Would you be surprised if I told you that imperial green is a product of the Internet age? First of all, it can be said with certainty that from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there was no such thing as imperial green jade. Because in the era of emperors, nothing can be called an emperor. Moreover, the people of the Qing Dynasty pursued the conspicuous and bright green color. At that time, Zhengyang Green and Huangyang Green were the aristocratic and top colors among jadeite. Regarding the evaluation of the top-grade color Zhengyang Green, people call it tender, spicy and bright. Compared with other poor quality color casts, they are called old color, dark color, and evil color. However, during the Republic of China period, with the improvement of mining technology, a new green jadeite was discovered in mountain mines that were very difficult to mine. This kind of jade is rich, majestic and solemn, and is sought after by the upper class, especially politicians. This is the imperial green. This rich yet bright emerald green color can better enhance one's temperament. It is more solemn and majestic than the positive green, and is more suitable for the upper class elites to wear. At that time, people called this new color old green, also known as old type and old color. With the establishment of New China, there was a gap in the inheritance of jade culture in the mainland, and the former social elites who liked old types and colors flocked to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Through contact with Western civilization, I found that the word "old" is not suitable to describe this high-grade emerald green. Therefore, the word "old" was replaced with "grandmother" by borrowing the naming of Western emerald, and the old type and old color were officially named "Emerald Jade". It was not until the late 1990s, with the reform and opening up of the mainland, that people reawakened their love and inheritance of jade culture. The name of emerald was spread from Hong Kong and Taiwan to the mainland and has been used to this day. But around 2005, the first jade e-commerce platforms emerged. People have found that when emerald jade is introduced on the Internet, it is easy to confuse it with Western emerald gemstones, and there is not much difference in color between the two. So they boldly changed the name of emerald jade to imperial green jade and promoted it on the Internet. Maybe it's the power of the Internet, more likely it's the correct naming. Imperial green jadeite became an instant hit and was widely promoted and used, but now few people mention emerald jadeite. The naming of imperial green jadeite is completely replacing the name of the original emerald jadeite. From then on, jadeite entered the imperial green era. Why is it priceless? You know that imperial green jadeite is popular and priceless, but do you know what makes it so popular and priceless? Imperial green usually appears on jadeite, and if jadeite has imperial green, its price will be even more expensive. The reason is that imperial green is extremely rare and now it is very scarce, so the price is very expensive. Imperial green jadeite is a type of jade that can be made into a variety of jewelry and ornaments, and it shines bright green under the light. It is more expensive than gold, but more dazzling and colorful in appearance. Among them, the glutinous imperial green is the best of modern jade. The material structure is silky, and when you look through the light, the texture is fine, crystal clear, and the green silk is suspended. After polishing, the surface does not have the crystal refraction of modern jade. The imperial green gives people a restrained and solemn feeling and is famous all over the world. It is priceless. Therefore, Imperial Green has extremely high collection and investment value and is widely favored by jade lovers. This is why various Imperial Green collections often appear at major auctions and are sold at sky-high prices. Difference from Emerald Imperial green is the best and most valuable green color of jadeite, giving people a sense of noble beauty. It is also called "emerald green". Therefore, people often confuse imperial green with emerald. In fact, apart from the similar color, emerald jade (i.e. imperial green) has nothing to do with real emerald in essence. Among gemstones, emerald is called "green sapphire" and is extremely valuable. It is one of the four most precious gemstones recognized by the international jewelry industry. Its green is a little yellow and seems to be a little blue. The green changes subtly with sunny and cloudy days. This unique green is unique to it. Among jadeite, imperial green is the most wonderful green in color and value, giving people a sense of noble beauty. Its green color is pure and rich, just like emerald, with a hint of blue in the green, but without any color cast. The green is so oily and watery that it looks like it is about to drip out. Emerald is a gem-quality green beryl. The green color should reach a medium to rich green tone, that is, the color concentration should be relatively saturated. The light green one is usually called green beryl. Imperial green is a unique color. It appears a solemn lake green in sunlight, close to lake blue at first glance, emerald green under strong light, and sunny green under digital flash, with unpredictable changes. After reading these unknown facts about Imperial Green, do you have a deeper understanding of it? Do you like imperial green a little more? Although I don’t have the ability to give you the imperial green jadeite, I can still let you enjoy the sight~ Characteristics of Imperial Green Jadeite In fact, the jadeite raw stone that can reach the imperial green level is that: the type, water and color of the jadeite raw stone must each reach the extreme to be called imperial green! The real imperial green jadeite raw stone is so rare! This ultimate beauty, like the most beautiful and gorgeous thing in the world, makes people unable to let it go! The green color of the imperial green jadeite raw stone is relatively rich, clean, and crystal clear. The high-color jadeite raw stones from old mining areas are relatively rare and rarely seen on the market. The green part of the jadeite raw stone is caused by the coloring elements chromium and iron. The colored ions iron and chromium replace the colorless aluminum ions. Iron ions often appear light green, and chromium ions appear very bright green. High-grade green is all formed by the chromium ions. If the chromium content is too high, the green color of the jade will become too dark and look like black, and its value will be greatly reduced. If the proportions of chromium and iron are different, the jadeite raw stone will show various different green colors, including pure emerald green, bluish, yellowish, and grayish green. Different greens have different values. The most expensive gem green is none other than the imperial green jadeite. The imperial green is a deep, rich green with good transparency, elegance and solemnity. Its color is similar to emerald, and it is also called emerald. Green is a very important factor in determining the value of jadeite. These greens appear in different shapes, such as band-shaped green of varying sizes, block-shaped green, uniform green and skin-closed green, as well as silk-block green and silk-like silk-like green, which makes the green of jadeite more unpredictable. The green color of jade is the most gorgeous and precious, and is often the element used to judge the quality of a piece of jade. Imperial green usually appears on jadeite, and if jadeite has imperial green, then it will be very expensive. The reason is that imperial green is very rare and is now very scarce, so the price is very expensive. Imperial green jadeite is loved and sought after by the public because it can appreciate in value and be passed down from generation to generation, and it is also a symbol of status and wealth. Wearing, collecting and investing in green jadeite has become a fashion, a key variety, and the first choice of all kinds of collectibles, leading the trend of fashion collection. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
