How much do you know about Jade

From jade excavation, gambling jade, processing, and trading, Jade Jade Merchants have, in the long-term practice, based on traditional folk experience and industry characteristics, visually summed up some descriptions of jadeite species and evaluation of jadeite The industry's common saying of quality is the so-called "jargon."

Visiting the Yangmei Jade Market, we can often hear a lot of jade lingo, or specifically used by jade merchants and consumers when they buy or sell, or they blurt out when they chatted. Keeping these jargon in mind, you will learn about the profound meanings of these and will greatly benefit the enthusiasts and consumers involved in the field of jadeite collection.

The priceless price of gold is the most common in jade sale terms. We all know that gold can be calculated according to the price of international gold prices in terms of weight; Jade, especially high-end jade, can achieve hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in a small ring. The price of jadeite can sometimes be calculated by weight, but there is not a fixed standard to measure because the price of jade in different kinds of water is very different, and besides weight, the water, color, shape and craft of jadeite are all influences. Its price is an important factor.

Looking at the colors of the amateurs, the in-house look at the “species” is a notion that the jadeite collection can't go around and is a measure of the quality of jadeite. "Color" refers to the color of jade, there is a saying called "a thousand kinds of emerald 10,000 kinds of colors", visible color of jade is invincible. The reason why people say "a layman looks at color and looks at him from the inside" is that people who generally know jadeite often only pursue the color of jadeite, and those who really study jadeite actually pay more attention to the water of jadeite. When the industry selects jadeite, it is not afraid that jadeite does not have color, and it is afraid that jadeite will not produce water well. A kind of color is certainly the best choice, however, some jade, although green but poor, will give people a dry rough feeling, lack of emerald should be Smart. On the contrary, if the jadeite has good water and fine and transparent texture, then even if the color is not good, it will appear moist and Crystal clear. Against the backdrop of better breeding grounds, there will be a greener, more even and fuller shade of water, clear water and aura. Therefore, when purchasing jadeite jade, we should place the jadeite water in the first place, followed by the color.

Under the lights, in fact, any jewelry should not be under the light of the color of the quality assessment, for jade, this point is particularly important. The reason why Jadeite is able to present various colors is because of the difference in the ability of jade to reflect light. The color of jade, especially the emerald color such as sparkle, flash blue, and oil blue, is much better under the lighting than the natural light. Therefore, observing the color of jade must be done in natural light, because sunlight includes various shades of red, green, cyan, and violet, and the spectrum of light is incomplete, and the spectrum of light reflected by jade is not all, so its color Not accurate, it is difficult to reflect the original appearance of jade color. Under the lights, it is necessary to look at the cleavage of jade, see the length of the water, and see the degree of reflection or other characteristics.

There is water everywhere in the dragon. This is one of the industry idioms for judging the quality of jade. The so-called "dragon" actually refers to the green color of jadeite, because the green color of jadeite often extends like a dragon. "Water" refers to the head of jade, which is the degree of transparent and mellow jade. "Dragon has water everywhere." That is to say, under normal circumstances, regardless of the degree of thickness of the texture or the degree of transparency, the green part tends to have a relatively better head, and the texture is fine and rounded.

In fact, the high-grade emerald green usually expresses its natural nature in the form of a “prime” body. That is, if a piece of jade is not flawless, it is not necessary to sculpt the pattern so as not to damage it. Its own beauty; if it is carved with a pattern, its beautiful pattern will be flawed under it, and it is most likely to hide it and crack it. This reminds jade lovers not to be confused by seemingly elaborate and tedious carvings, but to look at the essence through phenomena.

Instead of buying a large line for the green shape feature of the original jade stone, the thickness of the “line” is visible, and the depth is unknown: the area of ​​the “slice” is known, and the thickness is Unknown. The key to “rather buying a line and not buying a big slice” is to remind people not to be confused by the “green” “more” and “less” on the surface of jade, and to understand the nature of the green color. Of course, this is not to say that there is indeed a large green jade that we do not buy. Instead, it reminds people not to think about the thickness of the green and how much there is too much hope.

Cold-eyed view of green The so-called "green" refers to an additive "false emerald", which is similar to a B cargo or C cargo processing. There are many fake jades nowadays, and the means are becoming more sophisticated. What people say to insiders is to remind people to pay attention to the feeling at first glance, and not to let go of any doubts. For consumers, it may also be “cold eyes”. Too many green jades must pay more attention. It is best to go to a reputable, quality-assured store or a professional market to buy jade.
