Features: This book systematically proposes the three major factors determining the price of jadeite jewelry: color, water quality, and texture. Based on actual specimens, it categorizes color into 12 classes and water quality into 8 levels. For the more complex texture, it introduces five identification methods. It also provides an introduction to the main new types of jadeite that have emerged in recent years. To facilitate the mastery of identification techniques, all content in the book is accompanied by reference images of actual specimens. The images cover jadeite jewelry ranging from several hundred yuan to tens of millions of yuan, with a majority of valuable pieces worth tens of thousands to millions of yuan, many of which are rarely seen. Target Audience: Jadeite consumers and jadeite operators.
