When choosing jade bracelets, pay attention to the condition, transparency, color, appearance, sound, and flaws.
1、 How to choose jade bracelets
1. Color
The color of jade varies greatly due to its different chemical compositions. Among them, green is the best, and common red and purple jade stones are only 20% of the value of green jade stones. If the same piece of jade contains four colors: red, purple, green, and white, it is called "Fu Lu Shou Xi"; If only purple is lacking, it is called "Fu Lu Shou".
If you only want monochromatic jade, you should choose one with uniform color. It is worth noting that some jade bracelets have a dull luster and appear slightly yellow, which is actually inferior.
2. Thoroughly
Crystal clear and transparent like glass, without any impurities mixed in, with no bran or astringency in the hand feel, this can be called top-grade. Translucent or opaque jade can only be considered as intermediate or ordinary jade in terms of grade. At present, most of the so-called jade on the market is transparent with a green tint.
3. Uniform
The uniformity of color directly affects the value of jade bracelets. Even if jade contains both white and green colors, and the color is uneven, its value is still very low.
4. Shape
The jade bracelet is round and smooth in shape, with a smooth curve, and is relatively large in size, making it a top-grade item.
5. Knock
Sometimes there may be imperceptible fractures or cuts in jade bracelets. By gently tapping with a metal rod, the integrity of the jade can be determined through sound. If there is a cloudy sound, it indicates that there are broken lines inside; If the sound is very clear, it means it is a good piece of jade.
6. Photo taken
Some jade bracelets may have stains or flaws that are difficult to detect. By carefully examining them with a 10x magnifying glass, clues can be discovered.

1. Young girls or ladies (under 40 years old)
