Someone asked how to buy jade? In fact, as long as you choose formal channels to buy jade, even if you don't know enough about jade, there is generally no big problem! However, if you want to buy jade not only to meet the decoration needs, but also to consider the investment and collection value of jade, you need to have a certain professional judgment ability and a certain understanding of the factors that determine the quality of jade, so that you can buy jade with potential for preservation and appreciation at a reasonable price.

The main factors that determine the quality of jadeite are: the type, color, texture, defects, shape and workmanship of jadeite water. Today, Lan Yu will have a simple communication with all Cui friends. What needs to be explained in advance is that these six aspects are only a reference basis, and it is generally impossible to cover everything in reality.

1. Jade planting water

The seed water of jadeite is a comprehensive reflection of jadeite transparency and crystal size. The better the seed water, the higher the transparency and the finer the meat quality of jadeite, and vice versa. From good to bad, they are: glass seed, ice seed, waxy seed, bean seed and horse tooth seed. There is no strict boundary distinction for each kind of water, and there is no strict measurement standard.

2. The color of jadeite

Jade has red, yellow, blue, green, black, purple and other main colors, and these colors will derive some corresponding colors, so the colors of jade are diversified. Among these diverse colors, positive green is generally the best, followed by purple, red and yellow. In each color, the tone of "strong, positive, bright and uniform" is the best. Although jadeite has various colors, the raw materials of colored jadeite are generally expensive, so sometimes it is not necessary to think too much about the presence or absence of colors, the number of colors and the quality of colors.

3. The texture of jadeite

Texture (bottom) has two meanings.

① The size of mineral crystal particles in jadeite and their mutual combination, that is, the fineness of jadeite texture. "Fine texture" means that jadeite crystal particles are fine, round and smooth; "Rough texture" means that jadeite crystal particles are rough and the surface is rough.

2 The background color of jadeite except green is also called "bottom". "Bottom ash" means that the background color of jadeite is gray. Good texture such as glass mill, egg white mill, lotus root powder mill, wax mill, etc. ; Poor quality such as porcelain floor, dry white floor, excrement floor, etc.

4. Jade flaw

Defects in jadeite are important factors affecting the quality of jadeite, which are embodied in impurities, cotton, wrinkles and cracks.

① Impurities: It is composed of dark impurity minerals in jadeite, the small one is called "fly excrement" and the big one is called "tinea". Impurities mostly affect the purity of jadeite, thus affecting its value. Aquamarine jewelry source jade cooperation * * * Welcome to the map.

(2) Cotton: massive, cloud-like white flocs in jadeite. Too much cotton will cause jadeite to appear gray, hazy, foggy and turbid.

(3) Cradle: The healing cracks in jadeite are filiform and flaky white flocs.

④ Cracking: Cracks caused by jadeite cracking. "Cotton grain" and "crack" are different. Cotton veins are traces left by jadeite healing cracks, also known as "water veins, water tendons and stone tendons", which have little effect on the quality; Cracks have a great influence on the quality of jadeite. Cracks often appear on the surface of jadeite jade, and under the irradiation of transmission lamp, there will be obvious difference between light and shade on both sides of the cracks. Some pendants will use redundant decorative stripes to cover up the existence of cracks, so pay attention when purchasing.

5. Types of jadeite

The variety of jadeite refers to the creative theme that jadeite jewelry needs to embody and the external form of jadeite carving. Jade products, especially pendants, will show extraordinary cultural connotation, and the theme of creation should meet the needs and preferences of buyers. At the same time, jade ornaments can clearly and concisely reflect the theme that needs to be reflected in creation.

6. Jade craft

Workmanship includes carving and polishing of jadeite. The quality of carving technology directly affects the appearance and value of jadeite finished products. Clever carvers can shine brilliantly and turn decay into magic, but improper use will only spoil jadeite raw materials. The luster of jade is glass luster, and the surface luster of jade depends on the polishing quality of jade. The polished jadeite is bright in color, while the poorly polished jadeite feels rough and dull.

Final reminder:

The purchase of precious jadeite commodities is generally accompanied by an appraisal certificate from a professional appraisal institution. Consumers should pay attention to inquiries before buying. If you don't have a certificate, you can negotiate with the merchant and apply for professional appraisal. If equipped with an appraisal certificate, the authenticity of the certificate can be verified by online inquiry.
