It also includes non-mainstream jade pendants, including flower-shaped jade pendants, animal-shaped jade pendants, and many special-shaped jade pendants.

Why people wear jade pendants has a long history, which stems from an ancient ritual vessel. This ritual vessel was called Zhu by the ancients, and it was vertical and rectangular, and its thickness was similar to that of the present pendant.

Types of Jade Pendants The old ornaments made in China since Ming and Qing Dynasties are mostly made of high-quality suet jade, white jade, sapphire, sapphire, jadeite, turquoise, Dongling stone, topaz, ivory and jade. Although jade pendant was not common at that time, its hard and bright emerald color was loved by everyone, so it was preferred by the royal family and the rich family, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people. The old ornaments are exquisite in shape and rigorous in size. For example, Master Lu Zigang carved pendants in the Ming Dynasty, with superb skills, standardized patterns and unique shapes. People who have seen Zigang brand are fascinated by it and unforgettable.

Modern jade pendants, because the materials are precious, are not wasted by technicians, and their shapes are random and their requirements are not high. Most of them are artistic because of their materials, and their styles are varied. As far as the common jade pendants in the jewelry market are concerned, there are square, square, circle, ellipse, triangle, diamond and any shape. What is rare is the spherical shape, opening and closing shape, movable shape and combined shape in old ornaments. Although these pendants are mainly decorative, they are also suitable for playing, but they are easily damaged. Pendants such as sachets and heart-turning ornaments are considered to be time-consuming and laborious by modern craftsmen, and there are few imitations.

Although there are many styles of jade pendants, they can basically be divided into three series, namely plain pendants, inlaid pendants and combined pendants.

Plain jade pendant

Plain jade pendant refers to a jade pendant without any dressing, which is made of good material, diverse colors, good composition and workmanship, and can be worn and played with. Generally speaking, it is a high-grade pendant with good water planting, good color, good carving, no cracks and no flaws.

White jade seed material has fine and moist texture, good whiteness and golden color on the side. The teenager on the front of the jade brand is holding a book of poems with a focused expression. It is engraved with the words "poetry, ceremony and music"; There is a phoenix carved on the back, with soft lines, and the words of Xunzi are engraved, "God is greater than enlightenment, and joy is greater than no disaster." Reasonable layout, fine carving and full of creativity. The works of China jade carving master Cui Lei.

High and middle-grade pendants embedded with pendants can be packaged in platinum or gold to protect pendants from damage, set off colors and composition, make them more exquisite and precious, and increase their value.

Adhering to the essence of classical aesthetics, the stripes, colors and totems of ornaments, pursuing the traceability of cultural identity, and taking every grass, tree, stone and landscape of nature as inspiration, interpreting the natural charm of precious stones after exquisite carving. The design of paper-cut moire Pisces earrings emphasizes the return of cultural tradition. Jade beads, jade and bells are full of charm of Han and Tang dynasties. Emerald earrings skillfully use the ancient art of paper-cutting, with moire and Pisces pattern modeling, and harmoniously express the festive connotation of auspiciousness and happiness.

Combined jade pendant

Combination Pendants Two pendants Two or more pendants are matched and combined. They can be worn, hung and opened and closed. They are good at craftsmanship and technical skills and do not require superior materials. For example, jade pendants in old ornaments need to be combined into a belt. Another example is the jade belt ring, which should be equipped with a hook and a jade belt plate should be hung on the ring. It is not difficult to see that the ancients wore pendants, highlighting a kind of stress and showing off their identity and status. Modern people don't have to imitate the ancients, as long as they dress appropriately, they are exquisite.

Jade pendant design culture implies that jade pendant design must pay attention to composition, and good content should have good expression. With works, seeds and artistic conception, it is a good pendant. Judging from the current jewelry market, the patterns of jade pendants are mostly inherited from the traditional patterns and forms, full of festive and auspicious thoughts, in line with people's appreciation habits, inspiring people to love life and look forward to a better future. People who pay attention to wearing jade pendants demand that the content can be close to their own sustenance and yearning, satisfy themselves through the symbol, implication and homophonic pattern of the pendant, and sublimate their life and career.

Symbolic composition expresses the special meaning of things with concrete patterns and highlights its special connotation with symbolic means. For example, the traditional pattern "Dragon and Phoenix Becoming Auspicious" uses the legendary auspicious animals and big birds to express happiness and auspiciousness, symbolizing a beautiful ideal. It has praise and wishes for married men and women and husband and wife's harmony, which is of heavy and lofty significance.

Implicit composition is the internal expression of sustenance and implication. It expresses profound meaning with concrete composition, and expresses the natural ecology of people, animals and plants in different ways, which makes people think and understand patterns in beauty and China. For example, the three friends in the cold year are mainly composed of plum, bamboo and pine, and some are stone, bamboo and plum. These three concrete things imply character and grace. People should be open-minded and have lofty integrity. Su Shi, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, once said: "Plum is cold and beautiful, bamboo is thin and long-lived, and stone is ugly and literary, which is a friend of three benefits." That's the truth.

White jade-there are ways to make money.

Homophonic composition This is an interesting phonetic symbol borrowing, which leads to a completely different concept through homophonic composition. For example, in "More than Wealth", the composition is a rich woman with peonies around her, which looks ordinary, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that a woman is a woman, and the homonym of a woman is money, peony flowers are rich, and there are many fish. What a wonderful homonym it is. It's very surprising. I have to admire the rich and interesting imagination of my predecessors.

It is worth mentioning that some patterns made in modern times, although vivid in composition, artistic conception and breadth, are too straightforward, lack of inside information, and implicit images are too real, which can't make people associate with each other and make people's feelings glow. However, many excellent works with modern themes, with their innovative and bold attempts, reveal a profound exploration of jade culture and have a strong modern atmosphere, which is still worthy of praise and serious appreciation.

It should be said that the jade pendant decorated by people, whether it is a chest pendant or a waist tag, embodies their own personality and unique personality style, shows the preferences, sentiments and temperament of modern people, and of course contains people's wealth and satisfaction.

The role of jade pendant It is said that jade is a symbol of luck and happiness, which can help the owner turn misfortune into luck and get shelter. It is a spiritual object, and if it is worn for a long time, it can connect with its owner. In addition, objectively speaking, jade contains many trace elements such as selenium, zinc, copper, cobalt and manganese. If it is in contact with the body for a long time, these beneficial elements will be gradually absorbed by the human body, so that various trace elements in the body can be supplemented, thus promoting metabolism, playing the role of massage, eliminating diseases and eliminating disasters, and ensuring safety. Bian Xiao thinks that these jade pendants are more spiritual mascots, so they have high collection value and great appreciation space.
