How to tell the quality of jade?

1. color: beautiful color is the first requirement. At present, the most pleasing color is bright green (green tender). Although the top grade color is dark green, it makes people feel too dull, so the top grade dark green is not as high as bright green in price.

2. Transparency: High transparency has a great influence on the value of jadeite. Transparent jade gives people a cool feeling, while opaque jade, no matter how green and tender the color, gives people a dull feeling and lacks vivid aesthetic feeling. Generally, transparent jade is called "glass seed", translucent jade is called "ice seed" or "Guanyin seed", and opaque jade is called "hibiscus seed" or "taro seed".

3. Uniformity: The uniformity of color is directly proportional to the numerical value. The price difference between the whole piece of green jade and only some green jade is several figures; The distribution position of color also has a great relationship. A little green in the conspicuous place is naturally more pleasing to the eye than the green distributed on the edge.

4. Shape: Emerald is not valued by weight like other gems. The value of jade mainly lies in its size and thickness. The bigger and thicker the jade, the more valuable it is. On the contrary, the price of small and thin jadeite will be worse. In addition, its shape is also very important, because most people in China buy jade with the psychology of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. If the shape of jade has the shape of a badge, such as fish (more than one year), peach (longevity), coin (making money into treasure) and so on. Will attract buyers and sellers more than ordinary flowers and plants.

5. Knock: This is a special way to choose jade bracelets. When the jade is good, the sound is crisp. If the jade itself has flaws, such as cracks, cavities or local deterioration, the sound will be different. That kind of feeling is like beating defeat, and the sound becomes a "click" sound.

6. Photo: Looking at jade under strong light, you can see the color and flaws of jade in an unobstructed view. Sometimes jade that looks perfect on the surface is found to be flawed. In addition, you can also see the color distribution through the action of taking pictures, and distinguish whether it is natural color through illumination. At the same time, synthetic jade (fake jade) can't escape the checkpoint of "taking pictures". It's just that the skill of "taking pictures" needs experienced people to be mature enough, and ordinary people may not see why.

7. Price: This is a very simple identification method. As the saying goes, "value for money", especially in the jewelry industry. There is absolutely no such thing as buying good goods cheaply. Usually cheap goods are mostly fakes, which we can infer from the price at the time of buying and selling. Good jade can't be sold at a low price, so when we see a beautiful jade and ask the price, we find it very cheap. The first reaction is that there is something wrong.
