How to buy jade bracelets

Jade bracelets have many benefits, so they are loved by many women. Jade bracelets include jade bracelets, hetian jade bracelets and agate bracelets. Various factors of jade bracelet will comprehensively affect or determine the price of jade bracelet. How do we choose jade bracelets among all kinds of jade bracelets with different prices? Taking jade bracelet as an example, this paper introduces how to choose jade bracelet from its shape, size, color and some details that should be paid attention to when purchasing.

First, the shape of the jade bracelet.

Any jade bracelet is composed of a circle or a circle close to a circle, some are standard circles and some are oval circles, and their inner and outer rings are concentric. Elliptical rings are also called princess bracelets. According to legend, Yang Yuhuan, the favorite of the Tang Emperor, made an oval jade bracelet for him to show his nobility and uniqueness, and ordered everyone not to copy it, so he got the title of princess bracelet. In addition, some bracelets have irregular outer rings, so they are called carved bracelets because they have patterns. The rings of jade bracelets also have different shapes, which we call "jade bracelet stripes". The stripes of jade bracelets can be divided into five categories: round stripes, flat stripes, square stripes, trapezoidal stripes and irregular stripes.

Almost all jade bracelets in history are round, so in modern times, such jade bracelets have a traditional or ancient flavor, simple, heavy and generous, which is generally suitable for older women to wear, but not for women with modern flavor. Although the pinstriped round jade bracelet is easily broken, it has the characteristics of exquisiteness and dexterity, and is also suitable for young women to wear. Flat jade bracelets began to rise in Hong Kong 30 years ago. This kind of jade bracelet with flat inside and round outside flattened the stripes of the jade bracelet to a certain extent, which played a certain role in improving the transparency and luster of jade and fully showed the delicate texture of jade. Because the mouth of the inner ring is flat, it has a large contact area with the skin and is more comfortable to wear. Therefore, flat jade bracelets have been accepted by consumers and become the mainstream style of jade bracelets today. The ring of Princess Bracelet is oval, and the stripes are flat inside and round outside, which belongs to the latest style of the third generation and is the perfect combination of classical beauty and modern beauty. Shaped like a person's wrist, it is more close-fitting and not easy to bump. It is very suitable for young and middle-aged women with slender wrists. A small number of rings with larger inner diameter can also be suitable for older women who like expensive bracelets.

There are many kinds of jade bracelets, but not every kind of jade is suitable for any shape. For example, jade bracelets such as Xiuyu, Jasper and Hetian jade are easy to break due to their low hardness, and are not suitable for processing into flat jade bracelets with small thickness, but into round jade bracelets. Agate, jadeite and other materials are hard and can be processed into jade bracelets of various shapes.

Second, the ring size of the jade bracelet.

? First of all, choose jade bracelet, not only to meet the visual needs, but also to pay attention to the difficulty of wearing jade bracelet and the comfort of wearing it in your hand. Therefore, it is particularly important to wear a jade bracelet suitable for your palm. Generally speaking, as long as it is not too difficult to wear and will not slip out of the palm of your hand easily, it is a jade bracelet ring suitable for your palm. On the basis of this principle, you can choose a slightly larger or smaller jade bracelet according to your personal wearing needs or habits. If the ring is too small, it is not only easy to break the jade bracelet, but also easy to crush the palm. If the ring is too big, it will not only be too loose on your hand, but also be out of harmony with your palm, and even slip and break. The ring size and stripe size of the jade bracelet should be coordinated with the physical characteristics of the wearer. For women with fat figure and palm, avoid thin jade bracelets and choose jade bracelets with moderate width. The inner diameter of the ring is generally above 58mm; Ladies with medium-sized palms can choose more. Jade bracelets can be narrow and wide, with an inner diameter of 55mm~58m, which belongs to a wide audience. Ladies with small size and palm are generally suitable for pinstriped jade bracelets, and the inner diameter is generally below 55 mm Considering the firmness of the jade bracelet, the size of the ring mouth of the jade bracelet is proportional to the stripes when processing. If the loop is too big, the sliver will be relatively large, and vice versa. When buying a jade bracelet, we should not only consider personal preference and palm size, but also consider the firmness of the jade bracelet, otherwise it is easy to bump or break the jade bracelet.

Third, the color of the jade bracelet.

? Jade bracelets come in many colors, including red, yellow, blue, green, purple, blue, white and black. Jade bracelets of different materials have their own emphasis. Agate is best in green and red, Hetian jade is best in sheep fat white, Australian jade is best in apple green or pink green, and common jadeite in the market is best in green. Among the jade bracelets made of different materials, the one with the best color belongs to the one with the highest value. When purchasing jade bracelets, it is generally best to refer to the color of jade bracelets made of the same material. The better the consumer's economic ability, the closer he can choose the best color. If his financial ability is slightly poor, he should consider a jade bracelet with a slightly worse color. To put it simply, he should choose a jade bracelet with the right color according to his economic ability. Jade bracelets of the same material may have a variety of main colors, and generally the purest color of this main color is the best. Take the jade bracelet as an example. The colors of jade bracelets are green, red, red, purple, blue, black or two or three colors are gathered on the same jade bracelet at the same time. Different main colors have different low values in jadeite. Because the moisture planted in jadeite will have a great influence on the color, the low value of various main colors can not be simply measured by the color itself, but should be judged by comprehensive factors such as the moisture planted in jadeite and the fault of jadeite. Consumers can choose the appropriate main color tone according to their favorite colors, and take the main color tone as the basis for judging the color of jade bracelets. When a variety of colors are gathered in the same jade bracelet, we should not only consider the colors of different main colors, but also consider the proportion of different colors in the jade bracelet. As a collection or high-grade wear, pure green or near pure green is the best, followed by yellow and green jade bracelets, three-color jade bracelets and purple violet jade bracelets.

Fourth, take the jade bracelet.

? Buying a jade bracelet is generally to turn it over in your hand, observe it carefully and savor it. It seems that these processes can be ignored when you take them away, put them away, or store them with merchants and friends, but it is precisely because of ignoring these small details that jade bracelets often crack and break, causing a lot of economic losses. Jade bracelets are exquisite articles, which are afraid of falling and touching. We need to be very careful about the details of this security issue. The so-called "golden jade is priceless", if you break or damage it yourself, then the price of compensation will be decided by the merchants, and even the merchants will take the opportunity to blackmail. Therefore, you should pay attention to the following items when buying jade bracelets:

1. Try to let merchants take and put jade bracelets in soft cloth or trays. Don't take it from him in a hurry. If it is dangerous, you can't tell the responsibility.

2. Appreciate or watch the jade bracelet, and try not to care too much about the desktop or the counter. Be sure to hold the jade bracelet firmly in your hand. When you need to leave the counter to observe the jade bracelet, you should pay attention to whether the surrounding environment is safe and walk steadily.

It's better to put the jade bracelet on a fixed tray, and then someone will pick it up from the tray. Make sure that the other party has caught the jade bracelet before letting go, and don't hand over the tray.

Hold it gently, hold it steady, and try not to pass it by hand. Note that it doesn't cost you a penny, but it can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Why not?

Five, choose the right light source

The world is wonderful because of light. Without light, the world would be dark. The color and texture of the same thing will be different under different light sources, so will the jade bracelet. Although we will use flashlights or other lights when watching and appreciating jade bracelets, jade bracelets are worn in general natural light most of the time, so the quality reflected in natural light is the most authentic quality of jade bracelets. Compared with natural light, there are color temperature differences between different light sources, and the effect of jade bracelet is very different under different color temperature conditions. Only by observing the jade bracelet under the appropriate color temperature light source can the true face of the jade bracelet be reflected.

There is a saying in the jade industry that "a good jade doesn't look at the lamp", which emphasizes that the best light source for appreciating jade bracelets is the natural light on sunny days. Natural light has different color temperatures due to different time. The color temperature is about 5000K, and the time is about 1 1- 14. Around this time, the color temperature of natural light will gradually weaken, and the appreciation of jade bracelets will gradually be unfavorable. Besides checking whether the jade bracelet has cracks, stone lines, flaws and faults, it can also be illuminated by lights or flashlights. Try not to appreciate jade bracelets at night, on cloudy days or under lights and flashlights.

Ordinary incandescent lamps or halogen lamps have a low color temperature and a heavy yellow tone, which can modify the dull jadeite and make its color look delicate. Once you get natural light, its color saturation will be greatly reduced. The color temperature of fluorescent lamps is also low, and the blue tone is heavy, which will affect the perception of green in jadeite, making it dull and lifeless. The following are the color temperature values of some artificial light sources for your reference:

Color temperature value of artificial light source:

Color temperature of artificial light source /K

Ten thousand flashes? 5300-6000?

Photography tungsten halogen lamp? 3000-3400?

200 watt ordinary light bulb? 2980?

100 watt ordinary light bulb? 2900?

40 watts ordinary light bulb 2650?

Candlelight? 1850

Six, choose and buy environment and gasket

Under the action of light, all kinds of objects in the environment where we live and work will reflect, diffuse or refract light, and the colors between objects will interact and influence each other. The color and texture of jade bracelets are also influenced by the surrounding environment. For example, if you appreciate the green jade bracelet in a green or near-green environment, the green color of the jade bracelet will become more gorgeous; The red jade bracelet will become redder in a red environment. Proper appreciation of jade bracelet by environmental protection department may increase or decrease the color of jade bracelet, resulting in wrong judgment of color. Therefore, when appreciating jade bracelets, neutral tones are the best in the surrounding tonal environment.

The background of the jade bracelet and the color of the packaging box also have great influence on the jade bracelet. Everyone in the jade industry knows that "white shows color, black shows seeds, and orange shows fluorescence". Using white filler to set off dark jade can make its tone brighter and more eye-catching. Like the principle of white as a foil for jade bracelets, tin foil has a good reflection and light gathering effect. First, it can make jade bracelets with short colors in deep water become old, watery and colorful visually. The black color is very deep, and it is easy to penetrate into the jade bracelet, which can make the jade bracelet look more transparent and last longer. Gold filler can also improve the tone brightness of dark jadeite. Orange can not only improve the yellow taste of jade bracelets, but also create a fluorescent effect, making jade bracelets more moist. Because jade bracelets are used to be worn on hands, the most accurate foil is your own skin. Jade bracelets with your own skin as a foil under natural light conditions are the best and most authentic.
