First, the budget is the premise of choosing jade.
Make a budget before buying jade (budget-how much you are willing to spend on this jade you are about to buy). Then, even if jade is simply used as jewelry, try to choose jade with certain preservation value. So, what kind of jadeite can preserve its value? Only jadeite with high value can preserve its value, but the price of jadeite with high value is not low, which depends on your acceptance as a consumer, that is, economic conditions.
Second, the eye margin is the key to buying jade.
If jade is only used as jewelry, then the eye margin becomes very important. No matter how good and beautiful jade is, it is useless to dislike it, but at first glance, it is priceless.
Third, planting water is the basis of jade value.
How to choose the jade that suits you? It is nothing more than considering the variety, water, color, carving and other aspects of jade within the scope permitted by our own economic conditions, but planting water is the most fundamental thing of jade. Because whether jadeite grows water or not is not only related to its durability, but also related to its durability and durability. If you don't know anything about growing water, it is difficult to choose high-quality jadeite with high cost performance.
There are 12 species of jadeite, which are vaguely divided into old species and young species. The difference between the old species and the young species lies in the development of jadeite crystals. Well-developed jadeite is an old variety, while poorly developed jadeite is a young variety. The finer the crystal structure of jade, the better. For example, bean seeds and waxy seeds are in the tenderness range, and waxy ice seeds are in the aging range. Ice seeds are old, and so are glass seeds, not to mention the legendary dragon stone seeds. However, in the end, you should choose according to your own budget.
Fourth, color is the most intuitive embodiment of the value of jade.
Novices buy jade mostly by color. The color of jade is extremely complex, which can't be explained clearly in a few words, so take a person's personality and temperament as the standard to help Cui You narrow down the choice (for reference only):
If your personality is calm, dignified and generous: dark and full colors are recommended. People with this personality are more suitable for controlling jadeites with deep colors, such as oil blue, deep floating flowers, all green, etc., because jadeites with these colors can not only highlight dignified temperament, but also show calm and heavy.
If your personality is elegant, intellectual, mature and steady, it is suggested that the color should be saturated and slightly dark. Only jadeite with full color and maturity can cater to dignified and elegant women with rich life experience and wisdom, such as blue water jadeite, light oil cyan, yellow jadeite Hong Fei and floating deep flowers, which are all good choices.
If you are more self-seeking, you like to be unconventional: it is suggested that colors should be free with sex, and everyone's pursuit of life is different. For those who like to pursue themselves and be unconventional, the choice of jade color can be more diversified and more casual. You can choose multicolored jade, such as Fu Lushou tricolor and spring ribbon color. Violet is also a very temperamental color. No matter how deep, the floating jade can be controlled at will.
5. Sculpture is the connotation.
Emerald includes bracelets, beads, egg noodles and carvings, each of which represents different connotations and implications. Jade carving is one of the most affordable jades, and there are many kinds: brave, golden toad, ruyi, peach bearing, innocent brand, Ping An buckle, gourd and so on. There's always one for you.
So, how to choose jade products more professionally from the details?
This needs to be viewed from the following aspects: variety, color, workmanship, water head and land.
Type: texture, structure, transparency.
The requirements for varieties are: the texture should be solid, delicate and clean, the background color should be coordinated, uniform, tough but not brittle, the luster should be strong and the treasure gas should be heavy. Structure refers to the size, shape and arrangement of mineral grains of jade. The finer and more uniform the particles, the better, and the denser the structure.
Color: refers to the color of jade.
The requirement for color is: Because jadeite is a colorful jadeite, color is also one of the important factors that determine its value. Generally speaking, turquoise >: Violet > Hong Fei > Huaqing > Bean Green > Oil Green > Paw Skin Green ... from high to low.
Color requirements:
The color is thick, deep and powerful;
Yang: the color is bright and bright;
Joe: Brilliant color, crystal clear;
Positive color: bright and pure color;
Moreover: the color is even and flowerless.
W: It refers to the carving level of jadeite. Including material selection, modeling and carving skills, it requires exquisite conception and fine workmanship (note: fine workmanship does not mean complexity, fine refers to handling details well, and overall coordination gives people a delicate, delicate and beautiful feeling). Good carving can make jade articles exquisite and breathtaking.
Head:
In the jade industry, transparency is often called "water head", those with good/high transparency are called "water head foot" and those with poor transparency are called "waterless head". For a piece of jade, if its color is good (green) and its water head is enough, it can be said that it is "colored jade" with high value, otherwise, its value is low.
Ground: refers to the background color of jadeite, sometimes called "bottom". Generally speaking, the part of jade except emerald green is called "land", and the quality of land has a very important relationship with the overall value of jade (in direct proportion, that is to say, the value of good foundation is high, and the value of poor foundation is low). The better fields are: glass fields, lotus root starch fields, mid-range fields are bean fields, blue-and-white fields and purple flowers fields, and the worse fields are porcelain fields, dry white fields, rough bean fields and excrement fields.
