Buying Guide

Learn how to choose and identify quality jade pieces for your collection

Six Key Factors to Consider

1

Color

The color should be natural and vivid. Green jade is most valued, but white, lavender, and yellow jade are also popular.

2

Transparency

Good jade should be translucent, allowing light to pass through while maintaining its structure.

3

Texture

Fine-grained jade with smooth texture is more valuable than coarse-grained varieties.

4

Craftsmanship

Well-carved jade pieces with detailed designs demonstrate superior craftsmanship.

5

Size

Larger pieces are generally more valuable, but quality always matters more than size.

6

Certificate

Always purchase jade with a certificate from a reputable gemological institute.

Price Tips

  • Beware of unusually low prices - genuine jade has inherent value.
  • Compare prices across different sellers before making a purchase.
  • Consider the source - jade from Myanmar is generally more valuable.
  • Invest in quality over quantity - a small high-quality piece is better than a large mediocre one.
