Study Notes
Why can one jadeite jewel cost thousands of dollars while another reaches millions?
Natural origin identifies the material. It does not, on its own, explain exceptional value. This chapter considers the rarer question: how many desirable qualities can coexist in a single piece of jadeite?
Color must be read alongside translucency, texture, thickness, proportion, structural integrity, and size. The larger the finished form, the harder it is to preserve that combination consistently through the material.
In a jadeite bead necklace, the challenge multiplies. Each bead must belong to the same visual conversation: closely matched in scale, green hue, translucency, texture, and overall character.
Rarity is not simply a matter of size.
It is the survival of exceptional qualities together.

Key Observations
- Natural jadeite is a material identification, not a complete quality assessment.
- Fine jadeite is considered through color, translucency, texture, thickness, proportion, structural integrity, size, and cutting yield.
- Greater size can heighten rarity when those qualities remain strong and consistent.
- A matched jadeite bead necklace requires several stones of compatible size and visual character.
- Exceptional value reflects the convergence of qualities that nature seldom repeats; it cannot be inferred from color or weight alone.
翡翠价值：不只看颜色和大小
本期翡月荟 Feiyuehui Studios 探讨高品质天然翡翠为何可能具有极高价值。判断收藏级翡翠，需综合颜色、通透度、质地、厚度、比例、完整性、尺寸与取料损耗，而不能只凭“天然”或“帝王绿”等单一描述下结论。
翡翠珠链还涉及配对难度：多颗珠子的大小、色调、种水与整体观感需要协调。材料越大、要求越一致，能保留理想品质的成品通常越少。
