Wan Hao: The color of jade

There are many colors of jade, including green, purple, red, yellow, gray, black, white, and so on. Among these colors, the most valuable is green, followed by purple, then red and yellow, and completely unvalued colors are gray. It can be said that as long as the gray color is in the jade color, it will have a "dirty" feeling, which will reduce the value of jadeite. For example, green, purple and yellow jadeite will have a diminished value if they are gray.

Let's take a look at the effect of different colors on the value of jade, and what kind of color is more valuable.

White: Glass is white enough, pure enough

In the old jadeite system, white itself is a color with no value, but in recent years, with the rise of glass jade, the value of white glass jade has gained new recognition.

For white glass species, the standard for measuring the value of color is not pure enough. It is not white enough. The more pure and white, the more valuable it is. We often see yellowish or blueish white. Emerald glass is less valuable than pure white glass.

If the white glass species contains a green color, its value is higher than that of a pure white glass species. However, in general, a good glass with a positive green color is usually not too dark. There are some misunderstandings about this in practice. For example, many people will mistake the “blue flowers” ​​in the white ice species or the white glass species as green – as long as careful observation can be found, these floating colors are ink. Green, some businesses will describe this situation as glass with green, in fact, is a "blue floating flower." The "blue flower" type of glass jade is less valuable than pure white glass jade.

Black: Non-mainstream varieties

The black jade is the black ink on the market. Mocui was not recognized before, but with the love of Mocui in Taiwan, its market value was discovered. In the opinion of the ink cui lovers, ink cui cui is dark in color, is more sturdy, and has emphasizing exorcism and evasion. Therefore, there is a lot of stress and argument. However, moi cui is not currently the market mainstream variety.

Yellow: To be transparent

The performance of yellow in jade is sometimes an advantage, and sometimes it is a shortcoming. It requires specific analysis in different situations.

In general, yellow will become the advantage of jade only if the species is transparent, delicate in texture, yellow in shade and beautiful. These yellows are often used for carving and embellishing jade. The dim colors and the bad yellow color are often the defects of jade. Using the words in the line means “dirty”. For example, like an jade bracelet, if there are yellow spots, yellow spots, then the value of the bracelet will have a negative impact, but on the other hand, this phenomenon is helpful for identification - collectors can rely on the yellow and yellow spots The characteristics determine that Jade is A cargo.

If a bracelet has green, yellow, purple and other colors, it is also known as "Fuhou", which is more valuable than green jade. In 2011, Wan Ruixiang Emerald Club New Year Jade Exchange Conference and Auction, one of the iced three-color jade jade bracelets with a market price of 300,000 *** after fierce rounds of bidding and bidding, eventually reached a price of 165,000. Deal, the scene of Green friends have cast their envious eyes on the winner of this auction, no doubt he scouring a great "baby." In fact, jade is not the higher the price the better, but to look for those jade that are not expensive and have a collection value.

Red: To be transparent, do not "burn red"

The red color in jade is higher than yellow, and its output is far less than yellow. From the senses, red is more colorful and more beautiful than yellow, but not all reds are of high value. Only those kinds of red emeralds that are transparent and transparent are relatively rare and of high value. These red ringworms make red ring, flower parts, and safety buckles, and are all rare good things, and they also have a good appreciation space. However, there is a problem with Hung Hom's collection, which is that it is often seen in the market that there is a kind of "red hot" emerald. Such a red bridle is not worth collecting. The preciousness of red dragonfly is rare and natural, and the “red-burning” red dragonfly is not only rare, but also distinguishes it from natural jadeite, and has no appreciation potential and collection value. "Red-hot" red dragonfly appearance often forms a uniform layer of red, not the United States, and lack of aura, businesses often do not admit it is "red hot", but experts can easily see it.

Purple: To be delicate, to be rich

Purple is also called "violet," or "spring." Emerald, which is both green and purple, is called "Spring Ribbon." There are yellow, green, purple, and white four-colored jade, also known as Fulu Shouxi.

Strictly speaking, the output of the purple jadeite is not particularly small, and it is larger than that of the red peony. The block is larger, and the pods are mostly in the form of glutinous rice flour. Usually, the crystal grains are thicker and the transparency is lower. Violet is truly valuable among them.

At present, purple jade is extremely polarized, and the price of purple jade, which is very delicate and rich in color, has risen sharply. It contrasts with the general purple jade that is light in color, dark in texture, and in exquisite texture. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. The original violet bracelet was just a few tens of thousands of yuan. It has now risen to 40 to 500,000 yuan, and a full-colored violet bracelet is only 1 to 20,000 yuan because of its lighter color.

Green: Saturated, rich, unbiased

Green is the most valuable color in jade, which is known to many collectors. But if there is no seed at all, even if it is full of green, the value of jade is still not high. For example, the price of a piece of green “iron dragon raw material” like the Myanmar public plate is only 80,000 yuan, but nobody cares. It must be understood that even if it is green, it must be delicate, transparent, spiritual, and beautiful.

Regarding the green of jadeite, there are many arguments, such as green heart, green seedlings, green spinach, etc. In fact, these arguments are not important. Look green, to see if there are gray and black tones, if you bring a gray tone, green will be "dirty", if you bring a black tone, the color will be dark, gray, black tone into Will make green jade color partial and color "evil". There is also a white tone in the green. The result is that the green color of the jadeite is diluted, the color becomes lighter, and the saturation is reduced. This results in a much lower value than the green jade without white tone.

There are two other situations, that is, green yellow or blue. Yellowish yellow is commonly known as yellow poplar green and the like, while blue is commonly known as emerald. The color between the two is pure emerald green. In general, a slight bluish or yellowish color in the green is acceptable and does not affect value. The value of green is reflected in the saturation and richness of color.

All in all, for all colors of Jade, the brighter and more uniform, the higher its value, which is in line with the general aesthetic psychology of the public.
