China's Hetian jade has a long history and is famous both at home and abroad. The dazzling array of Hetian jade products is an integral part of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation. Hetian jade is a spiritual thing, which symbolizes huge wealth, but people often lack the wisdom to distinguish the authenticity.

With the increasing improvement of people's living standards, the high-end jadeware played by the former princes and nobles gradually entered the homes of ordinary people. So, where should we start collecting Hetian jade? How can we buy real Hetian jadeware?

1: Look at the materials of jade:

Materials are the primary prerequisite for jade collection, and high-quality jade is crucial for a piece of jade. At present, the usual price is 6-8 times that of mountain materials. In the market or online, it is more common to sell it with skinless mountain materials or Russian materials. Russian materials are also mountain materials and the material ingredients are the same. Because the mineral land is in Russia, it is called Russian materials. Its price is much lower. Its characteristic is white color but the jade is too watery, which means it feels too transparent, and the density and oil texture are not as good as the authentic Hotanite jade materials! If it is sold with Russian materials, it is difficult for those with less experience to distinguish it. Currently, there are only a few on the market or online.

The real mutton fat jade has no standard at present. It is produced in the ice and snow-covered ice. The mutton fat jade is as white as mutton fat. It is not only white but never anti-green. Its oiliness is extremely high, and it is not comparable to the mountain material or Zi jade with a color of mutton fat level. Some old players have been playing jade for decades and have a rareness. Therefore, those who love jade often find it difficult to find mutton fat jade, which is more difficult than to reach the sky. It can be said that even if you have money now, you may not be able to buy exquisite mutton fat jade.

Nowadays, most of the people who call themselves mutton fat jade are high-white mountain jade or ziyu. For example, high-white jade without skin is generally mostly mountain materials. Jade workers know that the price of ziyu is several times higher than that of mountain materials, so they must try their best to keep the skin when working. Some people who try to make fake skins burned and dyed in order to pretend to be ziyu are often seen. Whether a skinless jade is ziyu depends on the experience and eyesight of the appraiser, so there is often controversy.

According to the same grade of Hetian jade, sub-materials are the most expensive, followed by mountains and flowing water, and mountain materials are the second.

2: Identify the shape and pattern:

Shaping is the aesthetic structure of jadeware and an important factor that determines the value of jade collection. Shaping is determined by function and the shape of the jade, and its proportional trade-offs should be appropriate. A beautiful work that is symmetrical but not rigid, balanced and stable.

Patterns are decorations of jade, and their beauty and ugliness are easy for people to perceive and feel. Generally speaking, they obey the needs of the instrument shape, or both of them depend on the needs of social functions. Decoration depends on the structure, composition, simplicity, sparseness, density, etc. The structure and structure are orderly and unified and harmonious, and the appreciation value is given.

Three: Analyze craftsmanship and savor art:

Jade craftsmanship is a technical condition for transforming material into a utensil. Its nature is relatively stable and difficult to be truly recognized by people. It is a difficult problem in appreciation. Any work is neat and smooth, skillful and sophisticated must be beautiful or relatively beautiful. On the contrary, the sluggish and weak and sluggish are signs of sharp decline in collection value and cannot be traded. Art is the highest level pursued by every piece of jade, and it is also the most difficult to achieve. Anything that is vivid and has both form and spirit is the expression of artistic beauty, reflecting the rich collection value. On the contrary, the work that is poor and the art of the ancients violates the beauty of art will be much inferior. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to the material of jade, the level of jade craftsmanship and the artistic nature of jade. The reason is very simple. The better the material of jade, the less the stock in nature, the greater the processing difficulty. The more difficult it is to make a good jade, and the higher the value.

4: Try to buy leather jade:

A layer of brown-red or brown-yellow jade skin distributed on the surface of Hetianzi jade is customarily called leather-colored jade. There are autumn pears, reeds, date red, black and other colors. Jade-carving artists have named jade with various skin colors, such as autumn pear skin, tiger skin, date red, sprinkled golden, black skin, etc. Many jades in the world have this color, but they are not as beautiful as Hetian jade skin. Using the skin color can make pretty jadeware, which will naturally become interesting, and are called Debao.

There are various shapes of Hetianzi jade-colored skin, some are cloud-shaped, some are vein-shaped, and some are scattered. The formation of colored skin is secondary. Since ancient times, the price of the same skin-colored skin is much more expensive than that of the non-skinned skin. The natural and brilliant skin color is a unique feature of Hetian jade-colored skin material and a sign of the real product. However, fake skin-colored skin material has been very common in recent years, and the skin color is mostly attached to the surface. The appearance is dry and dry, and there is no water head, so you need to pay attention to the distinction.

Purchasing leather-colored jade has the following advantages:

1. Ziyu with a steel seal (national appraisal certificate) is undisputed and can determine its value preservation and appreciation.

2. There is a saying in the industry: "The skin of the sap is removed, and the gods cannot recognize it." It mainly means that some high-quality mountain materials (even Russian materials) can be compared with the sap, but they are sold at high prices by unscrupulous merchants, but the purchase price is several times different. Therefore, naked jade without skin color is more likely to be controversial and difficult to determine its value preservation. Therefore, some people say: naked jade is controversial and cannot be confirmed. Nude jade is a black and white photo, while leather color photo is a color photo. It gives artists sufficient creative space and also gives people colorful artistic enjoyment.

Five: What’s special about purchasing jade:

99% of Ziyu contains cracks of different weights or a little impurities, so the cracks in the jade industry are called partitions or bruises. Generally, large partitions or more obvious miscellaneous points will be modified during work. The small partitions that exist do not affect the beauty of the jade and its firmness, all belong to the normal range. Just like jewelry-grade diamonds mostly have small cracks, impurities, etc. under high-power magnifying glasses, which are rare in the United States. For this reason, when purchasing leather-colored Ziyu: 1. Heavy leather color; 2. Heavy jade quality; 3. Heavy material shape.

Although Hetian jade is produced in Kunlun Mountains, known as the "ancestor of all mountains", it is famous all over the world. With the increasing improvement of people's living standards, high-end jadeware played by the princes and nobles in the past have gradually entered the homes of ordinary people. Purchasing jade is an ideal choice for investment and preservation. In recent years, the raw materials of Hetian jade in Qiemo County, Xinjiang account for more than 70% of the production of Hetian jade in Xinjiang. The main jade types include Hetian jade white jade, green jade, green jade, top jade, black jade, jade, etc. The processed Hetian jade jade (jade carving) is sold to the domestic and foreign markets. Respecting jade and loving jade is a tradition of the oriental people, and people's demand for jade is on an upward trend. With the expansion of the team of jade players, people's favor for jade has led to an increase in prices, which also provides investment opportunities for jade collectors in time and space.
