The materials used for pendants are much worse than jade bracelets, and the volume is much smaller, which is naturally cheaper. Of course, the most important thing is its texture. There are many jade pendants with good texture, but they are more expensive than jade bracelets, such as the Bixing jewelry bracelet I bought.
Therefore, the resources of jadeite are actually very few, and due to the continuous exploitation in recent years, there are fewer and fewer good jadeites, which is one of the reasons why jadeite bracelets are more expensive.
Jade bracelets are more expensive than other jadeites for the following reasons: the selection of materials is stricter, and jade bracelets are the most demanding jade products. Because of its high price, jade bracelets should try to avoid cracks, even if stone lines are inevitable. The third is color, species and water.
Because there are lines, cracks and dirt, it needs to be cut and discarded. Take a strong light perspective, mark the position with lines, cracks and dirt on the stone, and then cover it with the template of the bracelet to see if the remaining perfect position is enough to make a bracelet. The price is naturally different.
