The Pearl Culture in Jewelry and Jade
From the perspective of China culture, the pearl culture was an indispensable part of the jewelry and jade culture. It had a unique form and cultural heritage. In the early days, the significance of the beads went beyond simple decoration. As early as 6000 years ago, humans would make beads to wear. At that time, beads might be given mysterious powers such as status, worship, and faith. Since the Neoliths era, as people had a desire for wealth and identity, beadwork products became more mature, and the quality of the materials was constantly upgraded. The culture of beads included decoration, protection, faith, rank, value, art, and many other aspects. Beads of different eras had different statuses and characteristics. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, beads were ornaments for the rich and powerful. It was only in the Tang Dynasty that they gradually became popular. From a collection point of view, China pearls could be divided into high ancient, middle ancient, and Ming and Qing dynasties. Among the ancient beads, the Western Zhou agate had a bright red luster and was exquisitely ground. It was rarely unearthed and had a high price. The red bamboo-shaped agate tube was popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It had a higher shape and was slightly more expensive than the Western Zhou agate, but it was inconvenient to wear it in a string. The Warring States Dragonfly Eye was influenced by foreign culture. It was a glass product more than 2,000 years ago. It was rich in color and decorative patterns. It was only popular in the Warring States Period for a short time and was now mostly used for collection and ornamental purposes. At that time, the crystal tube of Qi State was made of a new material and a new model. The processing, modeling, and polishing process had a great visual impact. In the past two years, the price had risen strongly. There were many kinds of beads in the Middle Ages and Ming and Qing Dynasties. Gold beads, eastern beads of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, corals, rhinoceros horns, agarwood and other court beads were more collectible. Tibetan culture beads had a strong religious culture behind them, and they had the meaning of peace and good fortune. The materials used included Dzi beads, agate, turquoise, coral, beeswax, etc. Among them, Dzi beads had the highest collection value. The main material was agate or chalcedony, and the surface pattern was given blessings such as protection and good fortune. In addition, Buddha beads were a typical and special use of beads in the Buddhist Realm. At first, they were used as a tool for chanting scriptures and counting. Beads also had meanings such as showing one's status (materials were scarce, and most of them were luxury goods for the rich), dispelling disasters and evading evil, praying for blessings, comforting the soul, and reflecting fashion.

It was mainly composed of jadeite minerals and was a collection of minerals. It had a variety of colors, including white, gray, pink, light brown, green, and so on.

Jade Jewelry Selection
When choosing jade jewelry, you can consider the following aspects: 1. ** Color and luster **: Even in the same type of jade, the texture and color of different parts of the jade are different. You must carefully observe the color and luster. 2. ** In terms of texture, it is best to have a pure, shiny, and crystalline texture. 3. [In terms of workmanship, good workmanship should have a regular luster.] 4. ** Personal compatibility **: - For jade jewelry, its luster was strong, and it had a high requirement for people's temperament. People with poor temperament might look tacky when wearing it, and they needed to have enough fashion control ability to hold it. - Jade jewelry mainly consisted of bracelets, which were bulky. If a middle-aged woman with a fat body and thick arms wore it, it might increase the sense of style and expose her body. 5. ** Symbol of value **: If you pay attention to the symbolic meaning of value, in ancient times, different jade jewelry such as jade buckle, jade belt, jade earrings, jade necklace, jade ring, etc., their material, shape, and decorative patterns can reflect the identity and status of the wearer.

Hetian Jewelry Jade
Hetian jade was one of China's "four famous jades". It was a kind of nephrite. In the traditional narrow sense, it referred to the jade produced in Xinjiang, but it did not specifically refer to the jade produced Hotan Prefecture. It was the name of a class of products. Stones with more than 98% tremolite could be named Hetian jade within the national standard. The main origins of Hetian jade are China's Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Russia. It had a variety of colors and contained a small amount of minerals. Its value was not only reflected in itself, but also in history, culture, and human health. For example, since the Neolith Age, Hetian jade had always been an important part of China jade culture. It was an important symbol of politics and culture. It could also be absorbed through the skin to relieve heat and qi, improve human tissue cells, enhance immunity and disease resistance. It also had the effects of beauty, promoting blood circulation, beautification, decoration, and wealth. In terms of trading Hetian jade, there was a Xinjiang Hetian Jade Trading Center in Shanghai, located at 777 Quyang Road, Hongkou District. It was the first and only trading center in Shanghai that specialized in Hetian seed jade works. It was close to the Dabaishu subway station and Yixian Viaduct. It was convenient for transportation and close to the Tianshan Hotel, the only distribution center for Hetian jade raw stones in Shanghai. It had the advantage of presenting the jade's richness and exquisiteness. When buying Hetian jade, there were some principles to pay attention to: 1. ** Choice of Origin **: Buy the narrow sense (such as the local jade species in Xinjiang, such as Hetian seed, Qiemo sugar, Yutian white, Ruoqiang yellow, etc.) and not the broad sense (such as Luodian white, Guangxi black, Tanghe yellow, Babi and other broad sense "tremolite jade"); Although the traditional Hetian jade is mainly produced in Hotan Prefecture, the acceptance of Russian and Qinghai materials has increased. However, for "new Hetian jade" such as Ximu River grinding jade, yellow white old jade, peach seed material, non-professional players should wait and see. 2. ** Character Selection **: - In terms of the choice of seed material, the priority was to buy white seeds instead of pure leather, because the quality of the leather was difficult to guarantee and it was possible to buy Russian seeds. - As for Russian jade and Qinghai jade, they should buy the old pit instead of the new pit. The old pit Russian jade was bright and beautiful, with excellent structure and thickness. The Qinghai old pit material was impervious to water, rich in jade color and fine in jade quality, while the new pit material was of poor quality. - Buy jade quality first rather than whiteness, such as Hetian seed material jade quality is good but may flash green, and high white material is often loose structure or not mature enough. - Ordinary players should buy popular jade (such as Wild Bull Valley, Basha material, Mida material, Jinshan sugar, etc.), while niche products were more suitable for experts. - He bought hand-carved Hetian jade. Machine carving was mostly used for mass production of low-end jade, so its collection value was low. - Playing with it was more important than viewing it. Materials that could be played with were more playable. - Buy quality, not quantity. Cheap currency was not as valuable as a few fine items. - Buy the material that opens the door (that is, the material that is undoubtedly authentic). The material that is in doubt will lose the fun of appreciation. In terms of identifying the authenticity of Hetian jade, there were simple methods: one was to scrape with a knife (Hetian jade hardness 6 - 6.9, ordinary knife hardness 5.5, can scrape off foam is fake Hetian jade); The second was to measure the density (weigh the weight through an electronic scale, measure the suspended weight in the water with a measuring cup, divide the two to get the density. Most of the density of Hetian jade is between 2.85 - 3.05, you can measure it several times to ensure accuracy). If you travel to Xinjiang to buy jade, you can choose a regular old store like the National Jade League Shiyu. The quality is assured and there is after-sales guarantee (there is no reason to return the goods within 100 days). <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
