What is the "face value" of jade?
When we first learned jade, we actually met a lot of such jade friends. When we saw a piece of jade, it was like when we were watching TV when we were young, we always asked the adults "Is this person a good person or a bad person?" When I grew up, I slowly discovered that many times, some characters on TV are good or bad, and they are not so well defined. In fact, the same is true for jade. Many jades have different conclusions when we look at it differently.
Jade, the beauty of the stone. A piece of jade can be favored by us, and most of it is attracted by her value; then how to treat her face value when a piece of jade is placed in front of us? Moreover, in the face of numerous evaluation perspectives, how can we comprehensively evaluate and draw a pertinent conclusion? Today, Xiaobian will share my personal experience with you.
First, understand the factors affecting the jade color value (regardless of the jade species, whether it is the finished product or the original stone)
What is the value of a piece of jade? It involves many aspects, such as color, shape, craftsmanship, and characteristics, as well as meat quality, and dirty, cracked, smashed, stiff, cotton, water head, fineness, and so on that affect the beauty of meat. Therefore, beginners want to evaluate more objectively, and they also need to have a process of learning and accumulation of professional knowledge.
For the general public, the first element that tends to attract their attention is the color, such as the white of Hetian jade (the actual color of Hetian jade is rich), the green of jade, the green of Dushan jade and so on. The eye-catching color and the pure and pure appearance usually make you feel at a glance. Therefore, fraud is more than grasping the weakness of consumers in this aspect.
Most jade consumers are exposed to finished products. For the finished product, it will involve shapes, crafts, features, and the "head" and "fineness" that have been said. For example, the following Guanyin and Buddha pendants have a rounded shape and a comfortable look; the carvings are exquisite, the features are distinct, the sugar color is carved, and it is difficult to be copied; the jade is delicate, and the overall value is outstanding. Because Hetian jade pays attention to the degree of moisture, the water head is not in the evaluation range here.
Dirty, cracked, sturdy, stiff, cotton, etc. that affect the beauty of jade, mostly in the original stone, only a small number of jade products will occasionally appear due to raw materials or processing problems. Since there are only a few of you who are in contact with the original stone, you will not be introduced here.

Second, clearly identify its purpose
With so many evaluation factors, in the actual selection of jade, it is necessary to make a choice according to its own specific situation, with a certain focus - the purpose of the selection is different, and the comprehensive evaluation results are also different. The five common purposes of judging jade are: carving, wearing, playing, watching, and investing in collections.
To engrave, focus on selecting at least some local good meat, and clean and delicate jade. Because of problems such as dirt, cracks, sputum, stiffness, cotton, etc., most cases can be processed by engraving and shaping; if there is a special color embellishment, it will be better. It is easy to engrave the effect of high value by clever design.
To wear and play, it is necessary to pay attention to the size, shape, color, craft, etc., to be suitable for wearing, playing, and pleasing to the eye. If the economic conditions allow, you can also consider the combination of jade pieces and their own characteristics and single product characteristics, to achieve a harmonious and unified integration is better. This is one of the reasons why private custom jade pieces are becoming more and more popular in today's society.
Most of the jade pieces suitable for viewing are ornaments. Because they are not limited by the size and proximity requirements, the carving technique is also relatively open, such as eagle carving, chain carving, thin tires; it is not limited by the theme, such as landscapes and raptors. Realistic flowers, all the objects that the engraver thinks can be described through techniques can be embodied by engraving. When evaluating and appraising, you can choose your own preferences and aesthetics.
Investing in collections, in this respect, the comprehensive "face value" requirements for jade are higher. Whether it is shape, color, meat, crafts or features, it must meet certain professional aesthetic requirements to ensure a good appreciation space in the future. There is a simple and easy-to-understand requirement in this respect - it is rare, good jade value, only to ensure scarcity, can have better appreciation potential. For example, some good jade pieces carved by computers today are definitely limited in the future appreciation space, and they are not in the status of competing collections.
summary
How to judge the value of a piece of jade? There is no uniform evaluation criteria.
Because there are many kinds of jade species in different countries, different jade species, the quality of jade can not be unified; and even if the same kind of jade, because of the different aesthetics of the jade people, some people love white, some people are green, and people will different.
Therefore, when you first contacted jade, you should gradually establish your own jade "face value" scoring method based on the learning of the orthodox jade classification standard, and select the fine jade with its own aesthetic characteristics.
