What Are The Methods For Choosing Jade Bracelets

According to the shape, bracelets can be divided into round and flat strips, as well as round and noble concubine bracelets. They can also be divided into several types such as carved patterns and plain faces. When experts refer to the thickness of the bracelet, it refers to the width of the bracelet wall. It is worth mentioning that most of the carved jade bracelets we encounter have cracks on the surface that require a sculptor to decorate them, such as the two dragons playing with a bead bracelet (one bead with two dragons next to it), which looks very beautiful, but its cracks are very serious and not worth collecting.
Bracelets with different shades of color can have a significant price difference. Bright colors will cost a lot, while relatively dull colors will result in much lower prices. There is also the convergence and dispersion of colors, and the colors on the bracelet are getting better and better. In addition, it also depends on whether the color of the bracelet is segment green or full green. A bracelet that can be made into full green will never be made into segment green. Usually, the price of a full green bracelet is much higher than that of a section green bracelet.
In addition to the types and colors of jade bracelets, the most common mistake in choosing a jade bracelet is to look at its base (which is the part other than green). In general, the green part of the jade will be very good and transparent, but the non green part of the jade will be particularly dry and opaque, which is called "where the dragon goes, there is water" (comparing the green color band of jade to a dragon, where water is often better planted). Two bracelets with the same green portion may differ in price by many times due to different backgrounds.
The cracks in jade bracelets can be easily seen when viewed under light, but sometimes the stone patterns and color patterns inside the bracelet can also be seen as cracks. Buyers need to distinguish them in practice. If the surface appears flawless, it is likely a bad thing. At this point, it is not easy to see the internal problems of the jade, and it is also easy to make mistakes when selecting jade bracelets. The better the jade, the clearer the interior, and the more obvious the phenomenon of grain cracking.
Depending on the shape, width, and thickness of bracelets of the same color, the price may vary due to differences in width and thickness. Generally speaking, the price of wide materials is higher. Thin and thick bracelets are reflected as "tall and short" on the cross-section, while high-end bracelets must be thicker and fuller.
The inner diameter of a bracelet with a ring mouth can also have an impact on its price. For bracelets of the same type and color, the larger the ring mouth, the higher the price.
