Look more at jade and jadeite and buy less? Is it better to be more transparent or more colorful?

When it comes to purchasing jadeite, "looking more" is both a process of selection and a process of comparison, as well as a process of accumulating and verifying experience.

"Looking more" is the prerequisite for "buying". This sentence also has another meaning, which is that "buy less" does not mean not buying. Where does the experience come from if you don't buy? But you have to "look" carefully before buying.

People often ask, when buying jadeite,

Is it better to be more transparent or greener?

Of course, the best ones are transparent and green! However, as the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Jadeite that is both colorful and of good quality will naturally be very expensive.

How should we choose when purchasing jade jewelry? ?

Generally speaking, when choosing jadeite, people first look at the type, then the color, and finally the certificate. There is also a saying in the jade industry: "Experts look at the quality, laymen look at the color."

Therefore, it is best to look at the type first, but there are many types of jade, more than twenty types. The most common ones are: glass type, ice type, hibiscus type, glutinous type, bean type, dry green type, etc.

Jade has rich and colorful colors. Among all jades, jade has the most colors. The most common colors are: green, jadeite, yellow, black and white. Pure-colored jadeite is rare and usually has various floating flowers.

In fact, to judge the quality of jade, in addition to its type and color, we must also consider its texture, water head, craftsmanship, meaning, etc., and integrate multiple factors.

Sometimes, even an ordinary piece of jade may be valuable if it is well carved.

Someone once spent 850,000 yuan to buy a jade ornament. When he took it to a jade carving master to appreciate it, the master said, "The jade is worth buying, but it's a pity that the workmanship is average. If I make a major repair, I can double its price." It can be seen from this that good carving has a great impact on the value of jade. Therefore, you must consider carefully and choose cautiously when purchasing jade.

But if you appreciate it from a different angle, you may gain different insights. Which is more important, the type or color of jade, has always been a point of confusion for many people.

If a piece of jade is of good quality but colorless, it will not appear luxurious enough, but if it has good color but no water quality, it will not appear lively enough. Therefore, type and color complement each other. It is best to consider the situation comprehensively, and when the price is not affordable, focus on the point that you like more.
