Emerald has always been the most expensive one in the jewelry market, and it is also the favorite of many viewers, but its high price has always made ordinary consumers "willing but unable". So, where is the jade expensive? How should we treat its value? A finished jade product, whether it is a ring, bracelet or pendant, always has advantages and disadvantages, which influence and restrict each other and need comprehensive evaluation. The general rule is to determine the approximate value with advantages first, and then discuss the price with disadvantages, so that a rough grade and price range can be obtained. For example, the most expensive king green, but it does not mean that king green must be expensive. If you had a broken cotton bracelet, would you pay a high price?

First of all, jadeite, as a luxury, the biggest source of value lies in its own preciousness. The natural price of jadeite with good planting, large water head and beautiful color will be higher. As the saying goes, "one point of color difference, ten times the price difference" is the truth.

1. Original stone platform

Under normal circumstances, the original jadeite stone is mined in kilograms, and those jadeites with particularly high quality, such as king green or ice jadeite, are calculated in grams or carats. When merchants purchase goods, they are also piled up. This pile, how much it weighs and how much it costs, you can take it if you like. When I go back, I will classify them in detail, separate the good from the bad, and divide them into different grades of carving materials. Did someone say they couldn't choose the right one? Normally, no. The price of the same batch of jadeite raw stones is the same, so we can't pick out all the good ones.

For everyone, condensed into the following table (see this picture without color), you can refer to it:

2. Processing stage

Jade raw materials are all a whole piece at first, which needs to be roughly cut and then designed and carved. It can be carved into Guanyin and other figures, or it can be made into bracelets, which is very wasteful, which is why jade bracelets are expensive.

3. Market stage

There are so many jades in jade dealers that naturally they are not sold one by one, but wholesale to retailers. At the time of wholesale, they are sold in piles. No matter whether the quality is good or not, they are all packed in piles, and they are sold at one time according to how much each piece costs. If retailers choose jadeite with good quality separately, the price of a single jadeite will be much higher, which is why the price of jadeite with the same grade in the market will be several times worse.

4. Sales stage

Some people contact and buy jadeite through retailers. Retailers should not only support employees, pay rent and profit, etc. But the price of jade will naturally go up a lot. If it is an e-commerce, the price will be cheaper, but it is best to find a familiar or reliable e-commerce. At this point, the road to changing the price of a piece of jade is almost over.

Jade is a kind of jade. Jade has been regarded as a treasure since ancient times because of its delicate luster, smooth and delicate surface and bright color. Emerald is also called jadeite. The color is mainly green, with other colors such as red, yellow and white. The red one is Fei, and the green one is Cui. Its quality depends on the color and the land. The color should be green, the thicker the fresher the better; The floor should be transparent, clean and moist, commonly known as "glass floor". Jade seal with good color and quality is hard to find. It is the king of jade seal and the price is extremely high. The important feature that distinguishes natural jadeite from other jadeites (including jadeite B) is that natural jadeite is "emerald", that is, the crystal flicker phenomenon in jadeite is the flicker of mineral crystal planes. Microcrystalline jadeite is generally invisible, so it cannot be used as a characteristic symbol of natural jadeite. In other words, what is not "emerald" is not necessarily natural jade. Of course, it's easier to tell if it's emerald. The more high-end things, the fewer defects, but the easier it is to be imitated by people. When it comes to jadeite, you have to say three kinds of jadeite. In the jade collection world, many experienced players basically don't buy the three jadeites. The main reason is that the water in this industry is too deep and there are too many fakes. Even experienced people will inevitably suffer. What's more, ordinary consumers?

"species" of jadeite

The "species" of jadeite refers to the "fineness", that is, the size of its internal constituent particles. If the particles are small, the structure of jadeite is dense, and the corresponding reflection of light is also strong, so it can be seen that some glass and ice jadeite are fluorescent and gelatinous; However, if the particles are coarse, the jade structure is loose, easy to break, and the luster is not strong, which affects the appearance.

At present, the classification standards of jadeite are various, and the common grades from high to low are generally glass, ice, glutinous and bean. Variety is very important for jadeite, and it is also the first factor for experts to judge. There is a saying that "an expert looks at the seeds, but a layman looks at the colors".

Emerald's "water"

The "water" of jadeite refers to its "transparency". It is usually described as "a little water" in the industry. To put it bluntly, it is how transparent jade is under normal light source. "Species" and "water" are usually associated. Commonly known as "planting water". So we often hear experts say that this kind of jadeite is "good for growing water" and "poor for growing water". Under normal circumstances, "planting water" is an interactive relationship, that is, a good jade head is enough, but a poor jade head is different.

"Color" of Emerald

The "color" of jadeite refers to its "color", including red, yellow, green, purple, black and white. The color of jadeite is very rich, and there is a saying that "there are thousands of agates and thousands of cuisines". At present, the most recognized color on the market is "Hong Fei Emerald". Colorless glass species, floating flowers and mocui are increasingly recognized, which proves that the aesthetics of jadeite are more and more diversified.

Emerald's "shape"

The shape of jade refers to its shape. It involves the size, thickness, regularity and fullness of jadeite. Collection-grade jadeite must be regular in shape and full in material thickness. Only by fully ensuring the various sizes of materials can the processed works have sufficient expressive force. And all kinds of scraps, generally thin, small or irregular, limit the performance of the work, and the finished product looks stingy and cramped.
