Jade knowledge

People raise Tsui, Cui Yangren's life!

Emerald market, parallel imports are full of them. Those children who do not understand jade are inevitably cheated. I would like to urge my friends to spread their basic knowledge so that they will not be fooled by their love for and study of jade and discover that there are many friends who love jade but have knowledge of jade. More want to understand. Some friends have collectively referred to some stones as jade, including white jade, Hetian jade, and jade, as well as some colorless jade. Only the green ones are called jade. Even though some people like jade and like jade, they know little about how to judge the quality of jade, so that friends often wear, maintain, and hide jade that has been very cheap.

Occasionally I met a friend who saw Cuifo I was hanging on. I liked it very much. I looked like a pair of envy and said that I also like jade. Naturally, I thought I had encountered a friend and hurried to discuss it with her. She took a red string from her clothes like a baby, and a Buddha was hung on the rope. It was small, it was carnelian, and it was frosted. There is no gloss, and the carving is very poor. Similar things have been encountered many times, like jade, but do not understand and judge its quality.

Even if someone really understands a little jade, it is unclear how to choose a suitable baby for him because of the lack of research. Natural things are also known, and it's hard to find heavenly prices. Therefore, choosing a jadeite baby with reasonable quality, reasonable price and high cost performance is just a matter of learning.

Through the search of related knowledge on the Internet, combined with some of their own experience, I will now summarize some tips and points for jadeite purchase for your reference and discussion.

First, the kind of water: Jadeite water classification is many, from the best glass species to the ice species, glutinous species, beans, white land, etc., its decorative effect and the actual value of a great difference. If it is used as a collection, of course, it is hoped that species, water, color, land, work, net, and weight will be as good as possible, and its potential for appreciation is enormous. Many of my friends like to collect some cheap pieces. If you can change them and wear them, you can use it as a collection. However, there is no point in using these items as a collection. You should replace all the small pieces with a higher-grade one. As usual wear, not everyone is suitable to wear the best water, should choose according to the individual's specific circumstances.

In general, young people are suitable for the better water, such as the higher transparency of the ice species, glass species. This is because young people's skin is fine, delicate, shiny, and elastic. A good water-filled jade will set off young people to be more healthy and energetic; middle-aged and older people should not choose to grow water because the skin is relatively poor. Slack, lack of sheen and elasticity. Therefore, the kind of seed with lower water, bean seeds, and white ground are also good choices. If the skin is not good, and the jadeite jewelry with high gloss and transparency is selected, a strong contrast will be formed and the skin color will be poor.

Second, color: There are many kinds of colored jade jewelry, most of them are amazing, hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of the best products are common. For most people's purchasing power, it is hard to bear. Therefore, in the purchase, you should balance between species and color, choose the right one for yourself.

Relatively speaking, young people are suitable for colorless to small floating flowers, appear lively, pure and beautiful, should not choose dark colors. Middle-aged and older people are more suitable for generous floating flowers and more colorful colors. A good color will look extraordinarily spiritful, just as people often say, "becoming old and coming, crossing the fancy," while the rich colors can also cover up the insufficiency of water.

It should be noted that many products now use color as a selling point, ignoring the need for water. There is a famous saying in jadeite: "A layman looks at color and an insider looks at a seed." Water is the basis, and color is an addition. No matter how good the color is, if the water and the ground are poor, the value will be greatly reduced. It is often said that "the shit is high green". Although some colors are good, the decorative effect is very poor because the water is too thick and the ground is not clean.

For ordinary lovers, this is often not clear, and it is good for those who are “colored” to be the predecessors of “color”. Many large shopping malls and jade stores are mostly colored and non-species, which directly leads to the single pursuit of color. A kind of colored, nature is a fine, small-scale shop, into such high-end goods, the cost is big, it is difficult to shot, even if there is a strong shop, there is such a good goods, it is rarely on the store counter to show you If he does not meet friends and professional buyers, he will not easily show people.

In the north, it is particularly heavy. As long as it is colored, even if it is no longer good, it is often treated as a baby.

Third, the land: young people choose better water, and should choose better land, because the good water, transparency is high, if the land is not clean, dirty, there will be difficult to see if there is, if If the ground is gray and dark, people will appear unhealthy and lack vitality. Older and middle-aged friends are more inclined to color. Relatively speaking, the demand for the earth is lower, because the rich colors themselves can also cover up the slight dirtyness and jealousy in the earth. Blue and greyish oil fields are also popular consumption for middle-aged and old friends.

IV. Engraving: Although jade is of good quality, it lies in the stone. It is not worthwhile. It is not different from rubble. In other words, although jade has a unique and beautiful temperament, it is not distinguished from rubble stone by careful craftsmanship by skilled craftsmen. A good emerald, in addition to good material, exquisite carving is also very important. How to see the engraver?

Characters and gods and Buddhas mainly look at whether the face is correct, whether it has dirty colors, whether the proportion of the body is coordinated or not. Animals mainly look at whether the proportion is appropriate, whether the air is natural and vivid, and whether it is both shape and spirit. The flower category mainly depends on whether the lines are smooth and whether the layout is reasonable. Special attention should be paid to the smoothness of the surface of the sculptured sun and shade, and the smoothness of the bottom. Also check if the lines are the same thickness and whether they have broken blades or overlapping. Bracelets should pay special attention to whether there is a crack. Need to explain is that the famous knife. A good jadeite shouldn't be extremely complicated to be carved, but it should be a simple and fluid line, vivid and expressive. Behind the complex, it often indicates that there are cracks and other flaws, and the so-called "nothingness does not cover flowers." The reason is very simple. The more complicated it is to be carved, the more it costs and the more you don't contribute to it. No craftsman and boss are willing to do it.

Carving workers are divided into manual and mechanical workers. The craftsmanship is more elaborate and each piece is unique. The mechanics are simple and rough, and one die can be out of countless pieces, each of which is the same. Most of the mechanics are doing low-grade materials, and good materials are generally reluctant to use mechanical workers. It is still relatively easy to distinguish between manual and mechanic work. I will use the diagram next time.

In addition, there are apprentices. This is my own name. It means that what the apprentice person is doing, if the material is good, but it is an apprentice to do, it will be rough, not fine enough. So some of the things sold in the shop, watching the water well, but the work is very poor, it is the apprentice to do. Therefore, there is a saying that only buying the wrong ones and not selling the wrong ones will always be the truth. Too much cheapness must have its source.
