It is said that with prolonged wear, the green veins within Type A jadeite can gradually thicken and lengthen, and even the base color may undergo subtle transformations. For older jadeite pieces, the "cotton" inclusions can dissipate, making the texture appear more translucent and lustrous. These phenomena are often observed in high-quality Type A jadeite. Experienced jadeite collectors know that jade becomes more beautiful with wear; this is the principle of "people nurturing jade, and jade nurturing people." This phenomenon only occurs with mid-to-high quality Type A jadeite. Type B and C jadeites, having undergone acid treatment and dyeing, are essentially "dead" and will not become more beautiful with wear. 【 Consignment Service 】 We offer a service to send the item for infrared authentication. This process takes 5 working days after payment, and the certificate fee is an additional 1500 NTD. This is a natural, untreated, and undyed Type A jadeite. Authentication will confirm its quality without question. However, considering the cost of certification, not all customers may wish to bear this expense. Therefore, for jadeite priced under 10,000 NTD, we typically do not pre-send for certification. You may choose whether to include certification at the time of purchase or have it independently verified at a trusted appraisal institute after receiving the item. 【 Our Standards for Selecting Jadeite 】 I favor jadeite with good "seed and water" (translucency and texture). Therefore, the transparency of the jade and the presence of any fissures are the primary selection criteria. Pieces with poor texture, significant stone-like characteristics, or a grainy appearance are not considered. In terms of classification by "seed type," our jadeite primarily falls into the categories of glutinous, ice-glutinous, ice, and glassy-ice types. Regarding "water head" (translucency and light penetration), I prefer pieces that are well-polished, smooth, and exhibit luminosity. Thus, for ice-type materials, we typically select those with good translucency, brightness, a gelatinous appearance, or a rigid luster that reflects light. As the saying goes, "a difference of one point in color can mean a tenfold difference in price," and this also applies to texture. For equally translucent materials, the presence or absence of a light-reflecting quality can significantly impact the price. My requirements for "seed and water" are even more stringent than for color. It's possible that what I describe as ice-glutinous might be considered high-ice by others. However, the quality of "seed and water" is not solely determined by the seller. It is highly recommended to compare pieces side-by-side after purchase. For gemstones, no matter how they are described, direct comparison is the most accurate method. Ultimately, it comes back to the age-old adage: "you get what you pay for." Even with the best deals, there are limits to the price of high-quality jadeite. We typically offer pieces at prices that are more advantageous relative to the prevailing market rates. However, if you acquire a piece of sufficiently high quality, even if you feel you paid a little extra at the time, its market value will likely reflect positively in a few years. 【 Quality Guarantee 】 We guarantee that the jadeite jewelry you select is natural, untreated, and undyed Type A Burmese jadeite, free from acid washing or resin impregnation. If an independent, reputable appraisal institute issues a certificate stating that this jade piece has undergone industry-unrecognized treatments (Type B or C), please contact us at any time. We guarantee a full refund, including any certification fees incurred. 【 Commitment to Quality 】 1. Crystal Wonderland selects gemstones based on the principle of no dyeing and no secondary firing. If materials that are not natural or have undergone artificial dyeing are used for design purposes, we will clearly indicate this in the product description. 2. We have adjusted the color of the images to appear as close as possible to the actual product on our own screen. However, there may be slight variations in color representation across different computer monitors. Please proceed with your purchase only if you can accept potential minor color discrepancies between the actual product and the images. 【 About the Designer 】 I am Xiao Lang, residing in the southernmost part of the island. Ever since childhood, I have been deeply fascinated by gemstones. I have spent nearly 20 years exploring colored gemstones. In 2010, I obtained a Class B license for gold and silver jewelry processing. In 2013, I qualified as a Gem-A FGA (Fellow of the Gemological Association of Great Britain) Coloured Stone Appraiser. I have a particular fondness for various colored gemstones, jadeite, and jewelry with a classical aesthetic. My criteria for selecting gemstones go beyond just their shape and color; they are also informed by years of experience in observing and discerning the authenticity of gemstones in the market. We do not sell dyed stones or gemstones with optimized treatments that are not recognized by the market. In reality, every gemstone has extremely high-end and extremely inexpensive varieties. Each grade corresponds to a specific market segment, and a single price cannot encompass all levels. By streamlining operational costs, we reduce selling prices, not because the gemstone quality is inferior. Therefore, some items in our store will display reference prices from physical retail channels for your consideration.
