One, according to the color, texture and color distribution of jade to choose the pattern

Two, according to the identity of the wearer to choose the pattern

Three, according to the sale of the hot pattern (the ancients also have a sense of sales, have remembered that a book said, three to five years will be the wind of the change, more to the beginning of a certain prosperous areas to produce trends. Ming and Qing dynasty books. In addition is recorded so-and-so goldsmith's craft is good, just praised for its varied patterns, exquisite craftsmanship, etc.)

And the general jade material bracelet less carved pattern, the past have seen most of the simple line pattern, flowers and birds of the pattern is mostly seen in the ivory wood and bone class.
