Gold in troubled times, jade in prosperous times. Jade is the favorite jewelry of Chinese people. No matter it is the sky-high priced jade bracelets and jade necklaces or the affordable jade pendants, it has a large consumer group in China and all over the world. Many people like it, but they don’t know how to choose it or how to distinguish the authenticity, which has become an obstacle for everyone in purchasing jade. Today, the editor will introduce them to the basic knowledge of jade, so that everyone can choose their favorite jade jewelry. The quality of jade is the most basic element in jade, just like the foundation of a house. The quality refers to the fineness, transparency and reflectivity of the jade. Species can be divided into four major categories, each of which has subcategories. The bean variety has low transparency and looks like soy milk and beans, as shown in the picture Then there is the glutinous variety, which has better transparency than the bean variety. Good glutinous variety is delicate and moist. The classification method is to look at the size of the grains. The large grains are coarse, and the small grains are fine. It does not mean that the glutinous variety is necessarily more expensive than the bean variety. Some fine bean variety jade is of better quality than the coarse glutinous variety, and the price is also a little higher. The glutinous variety is as shown in the picture. Then there is the ice type, which is very rigid and has less cotton. Starting from the ice type, there is no difference in grain size because coarse grains cannot reach the ice type. As the name suggests, ice type jade feels like ice cubes, but there are still impurities, such as a small amount of cotton and ice residue, which are only obvious because of the high transparency of the jade. The less cotton and other impurities there are, the better the quality and the higher the price, such as the ice quality as shown in the picture. Glass type is just like glass, there is no classification because they all look the same, transparent, clean and without impurities. Glass type is the top level of jade classification, and the price is naturally top level as well. Generally, a colorless glass type bracelet costs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. If it is a low-color imperial green glass type, it is the best jade and can only be viewed from a distance. The glass types are as shown in the picture. After reading this, do you have a general understanding of the classification of jadeite types?
