How to choose jadeite? Three principles for buying jadeite jewelry

Jade is now loved by many people, and more and more people are beginning to choose jade jewelry. So what are the criteria for purchasing jade? Let’s chat with you today~

First, the principle of being informed.

You should make a general judgment on the type, water color and workmanship of the jade you want to buy. For example, if it is old blue water, don't mistake it for black jade, as the price will be very different. For example, if it is oily green, don't mistake it for emerald green.

You still need to watch and learn more. As the industry term goes, “there are no experts in jade”, so learn more and watch more.

The second principle is the quality principle.

When it comes to this, the first thing to do is to see what kind of attitude you have towards the jade you want to buy. If you just like this jade and want to buy it back to play with and wear without planning on increasing its value or collecting it, then there is no problem, as long as you like it and the price is right, you can plan to buy it.

But if you collect it with the attitude of increasing value, then this jade needs to be linked to the high-quality standards we talked about today. Jade collection is different from other things. It does not rely on quantity but on quality. It is better to collect one fine product than a bunch of ordinary products. Only fine products have room for collection appreciation, while ordinary products have little room for appreciation.

Third, be cautious if there are defects.

The first defect is cracks. If there are jadeite with cracks running through it, you should definitely not buy it, especially bracelets.

Since bracelets are most vulnerable to external forces, if they have through cracks, their stability will be greatly reduced and they may be broken accidentally. It can be said that bracelets, especially high-end bracelets, if they have through cracks, must be chosen with caution regardless of the water quality and color tone.

Secondly, we need to distinguish between cracks and stone patterns. Stone patterns are cracks that have healed internally. A small amount of stone patterns can also prove that it is natural jade. Minor stone patterns are not easy to destroy the beauty, but if there are too many stone patterns, it will damage the value. If you don’t mind, this can also be a bargaining chip.

When you are buying jadeite, please follow the above three principles and learn slowly, and you will always be able to choose the jadeite you like.
