As a high-end jewelry, jadeite is often prohibitive. The value of a piece of jadeite can range from hundreds to thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions. So beautiful and expensive, we have to be careful, so we have summed up a lot of taboos for jadeite collection. Below I will introduce you to these taboos.
The first is the "three prohibitions", that is, fishy, oily, and dirty. The breath of jadeite should be transparent, pure, and full of spirituality. Once it is contaminated with fishy smell, greasy or filthy, it will lose its unique beauty, become cloudy and dull, and the jade will also be damaged. Especially for Buddhist themes, there is a sense of tarnishing.
Usually the smell and dirt on the clothes are unbearable, let alone jadeiteKeeping the jadeite clean, clear and moist is the right thing to do.
The second is the "four fears", namely ice, fire, irritation and falling. Although jadeite has hardness beyond ordinary jade and relatively stable chemical and physical properties, it is still fragile and delicate. Extreme temperatures, whether low or high, can take a toll on them. Irritating substances are usually corrosive and should not be touched.
In addition, there is no kind of jade that is not afraid of falling. If you fall, it will crack at least and tear apart at worst. Therefore, we must be cautious when picking and placing jadeite, and give jadeite a safe environment for collection.
