Why is Hetian jade so cheap?

Hetian jade is cheap because of large output, poor carving and so on.

1, large output

Hetian jade is cheap because of its average quality. It is made of aquamarine or Han Guoyu, and its output is very large. The main themes are Ping An buckle, Chinese zodiac Buddha pendant and gold inlaid jade. Jade is rough, which is a typical mass production machine carving goods. These ultra-high-volume Hetian jade explosions have lowered the threshold of Hetian jade and are not up to grade.

2, the carver is poor

Compared with the quality or color of jade, the carver is an external factor, but a good carver can make ordinary Hetian jade icing on the cake, and even turn a piece of poor quality Hetian jade into magic. For most Hetian jade, it is because of good carving that it has rich spiritual and humanistic values, and even makes Hetian jade a unique work of art. Fine carving, especially the Hetian jade carved by the master, is naturally expensive, while ordinary carving or shoddy carving is naturally cheap.

Aspects that can be paid attention to when selecting Hetian jade:

1, color

Hetian jade has many colors, such as white, cyan, green, yellow and black. Among them, pure texture, soft color and natural texture are the best. When purchasing, you can observe whether the color of jade is pure, whether there are impurities, spots, cracks and other phenomena.

2. Transparency

The transparency of Hetian jade refers to the clarity of jade. Generally speaking, the higher the transparency of jade, the better the quality. However, it should also be noted that different types of Hetian jade have different transparency. Therefore, when purchasing, you can choose the jade with appropriate transparency according to the types of jade.

3. Texture

The texture of Hetian jade refers to its internal structure and texture. Good hetian jade should be fine, even and not grainy. When purchasing, you can touch the surface of jade by hand to feel whether its texture is fine and smooth.
