Hetian jade in China has a long history and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. Its exquisite products are an integral part of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation. Hetian jade is a kind of aura, symbolizing great wealth, but people often lack the vision to distinguish authenticity.

With the improvement of people's living standards, the high-grade jade used to be played by princes and nobles gradually entered the homes of ordinary people. So, where does the collection of Hetian jadeware begin? How can I buy real Hetian jade products?

One: look at the jade material:

Materials are the primary premise of jade collection, and high-quality jade materials are very important for a jade. At present, the usual price, the same level of jadeite is 6-8 times that of mountain material. In the market or online, it is more common to sell skinless mountain materials or Russian materials as fillers. Russian material is also a mountain material, and the material composition is the same. It is called Russian material because the ore is mined in Russia and the price is much lower. It is characterized by white color, but the jade is too watery, that is, the transparency is too heavy, and the density and oil texture are not as good as the authentic Hetian jade! It is difficult for people with little experience to tell if they sell rice in Russian. At present, there are only a few on the market or online.

There is no national standard for real suet jade, which is produced in ice-covered glaciers. Sheep fat jade is as white as sheep fat, which is not only white but also never turns green. It has a high degree of grease and is comparable to jade with unusual mountain material or sheep fat color. Some old players have been playing with jade for decades. The difficulty in obtaining and rarity of suet jade makes it difficult for jade lovers to find it. It can be said that even if you have money now, you may not be able to buy exquisite suet jade.

Nowadays, most people who call themselves suet jade are Gaobaishan jade or Yayu jade, such as high white jade without skin. Jade workers all know that the price of jade is several times higher than that of mountain materials, so they must try their best to keep the skin when they work. It is often seen that some people try their best to burn fake skins in order to pretend to be Yu Zi. Whether jade without skin is jade depends on the experience and vision of the appraiser, so it is often controversial.

According to the same grade of Hetian jade, seed material is the most valuable, followed by landscape and mountain material.

Second, identify decorative patterns:

Modeling is the aesthetic framework of jade, and it is also an important factor to determine the collection value of jade. Modeling is determined by the function and shape of jade blank, and its proportion should be properly weighed. Symmetrical but not rigid, balanced and stable works are beautiful.

Pattern is the decoration of jade, and its beauty and ugliness are easy to be perceived and felt. Generally speaking, it is subject to the needs of equipment, or both depend on the needs of social functions. Decoration depends on the structure, composition, complexity and density. Where the structure is orderly, unity and harmony have appreciation value.

Third, art analysis:

Jade craft is the technical condition for turning materials into utensils, and its nature is relatively stable, so it is not easy to be truly recognized, which is a difficult problem in appreciation. Any neat, fluent and skilled craftsman must be beautiful or relatively beautiful. On the contrary, malaise and delicacy are the signs of a sharp decline in the collection value, which cannot be collected through trading. Art is the highest realm pursued by every jade, and it is also the most difficult to achieve. Everything with vivid charm and both form and spirit is the expression of artistic beauty, which embodies rich collection value. On the contrary, poor craftsmanship and poor art, blindly rubbing against the works of the ancients that violate the artistic beauty, the appreciation value is much inferior. Therefore, jade collection should not only pay attention to the material of jade, but also pay attention to the technical level and artistry of jade. There is a simple reason. The better the material of jadeite, the rarer its stock in nature, and the more difficult it is to process. The harder it is to make good jade, the higher its value.

Four: try to buy leather jade:

Hetian jade's skin is brownish red or brownish yellow, so it is customarily called Piyu. There are autumn pears, reed flowers, bordeaux, black and other colors. Jade carving artists use various skin colors as jade names, such as autumn pear skin, tiger skin, jujube skin red, sprinkled gold, black skin and so on. Many jadeites in the world have this color, but it is not as beautiful as Hetian jade. Using skin color can make beautiful jade, which is naturally interesting and called Debao.

The shape of Hetian purple jade skin is varied, some are cloud-shaped, some are vein-shaped, and some are scattered. The formation of skin color is secondary. Since ancient times, the price of the same leather material is much more expensive than that of non-leather material. Natural and brilliant skin color is a unique feature of Hetian jade seed material, and it is also a sign of authenticity. However, in recent years, the leather with fake piano color is very common, and the piano color is mostly attached to the surface. The appearance is dry and oil-free, and there is no water head, so it needs to be distinguished.

Choosing Piyu has the following advantages:

1. Yu Zi (national appraisal certificate) with steel seal is uncontroversial, and its preservation and appreciation can be determined.

2. There is a sentence in the line: "The fairy can't recognize it even if it is stripped." It mainly means that some high-quality mountain materials (even Russian materials) can be sold at a high price by unscrupulous businessmen, but the purchase price is several times different. Therefore, bare jade without skin color is controversial and it is difficult to determine its value preservation. Therefore, some people say that bare jade is controversial and its value cannot be determined. Naked jade is a black-and-white photo, while leather jade is a color photo, which gives artists ample creative space and colorful artistic enjoyment.

Five: Buy the characteristics of Yu Zi:

99% of the jade seeds are cracked due to different materials or slight impurities, so this kind of crack is called separation or blame in the jade industry. Generally, large partitions or obvious miscellaneous points will be decorated, and the existing small partitions are within the normal range, which will not affect the beauty and firmness of jade. Just as most jewel-grade diamonds have small cracks and impurities under a high magnification, they are rare in the United States, and the same is true. When buying jade: 1. Heavy skin color; 2 heavy jade; Triple process; Four material forms.

Although Hetian Meiyu is produced in Kunlun Mountain, which is known as the "ancestor of Wanshan Mountain", it is well-known at all times and at home and abroad. With the improvement of people's living standards, the high-grade jade used to be played by princes and nobles gradually entered the homes of ordinary people. Buying jade is an ideal choice for preserving investment. In recent years, the production of Hetian jade raw materials in Qiemo County of Xinjiang accounts for more than 70% of the production of Hetian jade in Xinjiang. The main jade species are Hetian jade, white jade, sapphire, topaz, jet and jasper. The processed Hetian jade (jade carving) is exported to domestic and foreign markets. It is an oriental tradition to worship and love jade, and people's demand for jade is on the rise. With the expansion of the team of jade players, people's favor for jade products leads to the price increase, which also provides jade collectors with investment opportunities in time and space.
