Red coral has always been loved, and people describe it as “a fascinating, lustrous, crystal clear, warm and welcoming personâ€. In the West, coral, pearl and amber are the three organic gems. In the Eastern Buddhist scriptures, corals are listed as one of the seven treasures. Corals grow deep in the sea at a sea level of 200 to 2000 meters, and mining is extremely difficult. Corals are made up of the secretions of coral polyps. Due to the calcareous bones secreted by the corals, the texture is generally loose, and the corals that can reach the gem-grade processing density are extremely rare. The red coral in the coral, which grows only in a few seas, is more precious.
At present, the fine red corals are highly value-added. The high-quality red corals produced in Taiwan's first-line coastal areas and the Mediterranean coast of Taiwan are rare, rare and expensive. As the years go by, they are more precious. The potential for appreciation is more The bigger it is. At present, the price of ordinary red coral has reached several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan per gram. The sand red coral produced in Italy has also caused the price of raw materials to rise sharply due to the recent increase in raw material prices caused by the closure of the Italian sea. In addition to the extremely rare growth of red corals, the scarcity of production, the difficulty of mining, and the government's ban have also become important reasons for their price to rise year by year.
Many laymen only know that the red coral is more red and more valuable. I don't know if it is very knowledgeable. I will talk about this issue now.
Red coral jewelry collection must first look at the variety of raw materials, different varieties, the price of the finished jewelry may differ by more than 10 times. In general, red coral carvings are carved from momo coral or aca coral, as well as sardine coral and misu coral. Red coral beads are made from sardine coral. Due to the large difference between the prices of Aka materials and momo materials and sardines, there are often unscrupulous household sardines or momo materials posing as expensive Aka materials. The following is a detailed description of how to distinguish between Aka, momo and sardine corals.
Aka material and momo red coral jewelry will have white core, but the main difference is two points: First, the texture, an important feature of Aka material is that there is a clear transparent texture, that is, the glass texture, like crystal, clear. Momo material is porcelain moist, like enamel, bright. If you compare a larger Aka material with a momo material, this difference will be particularly noticeable. Under the illumination of the spotlights, the Aka coral is translucent, and the momo coral is porcelain bright. The second is the grain, the fingerprint-like texture unique to the surface coral of Aka is not obvious, and the surface of the momo material can see clear fingerprint-like texture.
The difference between Aka and Sardine is mainly whether there is a white core, whether it is ring face, ball or carving, pendant, etc., most of the Aka materials can see the obvious white core, mostly in the small Aka ring. Face. Because it is too small, sometimes it can avoid the white core when cutting. Compared with the Aka material, the sanding material can only see the white point of the needle tip or the white mark of uneven color, which is not obvious.
In the market, the use of sardine corals to pretend to be acacia corals often appears on some large and small beads. Some bad merchants will hit the ball and call the color-colored sardine coral "Aka-class red coral". Aka is a species of coral that cannot be used for grading at all. Some coral sellers explained that corals are divided according to color. Different colors are called different names. When the color reaches a certain redness, it is called "Aka coral" or "Aka coral". The light color is called " Shading Red, and a little shallower is called "What is Red?" This method of coloring coral species is neither scientific nor normative, but is actually a pretext for sellers to deliberately confuse sardine corals and Aka corals.
From the color of the coral, if the other conditions are close, the darker the color, the more expensive (except for the angel muscle, the European has raised its price). The cow blood color we generally say is a kind of deep red, which is the best color in coral. Lighter, pink and orange. If you want to refine it, only the sardines can be divided into 18 colors. The color of the momo coral is generally more orange, and of course the color is very good, but it is rare. White is considered to be a high quality coral, and pure white is the best. Gold corals and black corals are also very valuable. It is generally believed that the cow blood red of Aka is the highest level of coral color, and pink and orange are also good.
At the same time, the value of corals is also affected by local customs, such as the Arabs prefer bright red, while Europe is popular pink, preferring crimson in mainland China and Taiwan and Japan. The color of Aka coral is generally deep. Taiwan's Aka coral is rarely dark, and it is close to the northeast of Taiwan. The color is very good. It does not lose the Japanese Aka coral, close to Fujian. The color is very poor, and most of the dead branches, the color of the Japanese Aka coral is of course different.
Look at the size again. The size of coral jewelry is often an important factor in determining its price. Like corals, the bigger the red coral, the higher the price. Coral is a natural organic gemstone. Its original state is like a tree. Especially red coral is only 1 inch long in the 20 years of the sea. It is only 1 kilogram in 300 years. Therefore, the price of red coral is much more expensive. .
Coral jewelry as a "gem", when you buy it, you also need to look at the engraver, which is also an important factor affecting the value of coral jewelry. Mainly look at two aspects: First, the level of fineness of the carving. Character carvings, depending on whether the five-members of the carved characters are coordinated, whether the characters' expressions are accurate and in place. The animal statue depends on whether the animal being carved is vivid and vivid. The second is the popularity of the engraver. The coral ornaments carved by famous sculptors have great collection value.
Let me talk about it. Natural red corals must have some flaws, such as insect eyes, small pits, white spots, white cores, and pressure lines. For these differences, we must treat them differently. If it is a red coral ornament, the less the value, the higher the value, but if it is a ring of a set ring or a pendant, the shackles on the back are not so worth paying attention to, because those cockroaches will not be revealed to the viewer. . The ambiguity of natural gemstones is the norm, and the pursuit of perfection is in violation of the laws of nature.
Let's talk about death and live feed. When picking Italian sardines, people rarely value death and live feed. For Taiwan and Japan's Aka corals, buyers are more concerned about death and live feed. The Japanese government has regulations on the number of live branches that can be salvaged in a year, and there are no restrictions on the dead branches. Therefore, the live Aka coral in Japan is the most expensive. The same color is a coral-colored coral. The live branches and dead branches look a little different. After wearing for a long time (when worn every day), the dead corals lose their luster after 1 month, and the white core is easy to run out. Live branch corals will of course lose their luster, but not so fast. After the red coral is re-polished, the color will be a little bit worse because the coral surface is the darkest. There are fewer ticks in the living branches and more dead branches. In addition, the gloss of live and dead branches is also different, and the live branches are not bright.
Finally, everyone is reminded that you should do quite the homework before purchasing red corals. Try to buy them from reputable shops or reputable collectors. It is best to look at more questions and compare them so that you can buy value for money. Red coral. A well-designed and carved red coral ornament has certain artistic value and is a boutique with historical and cultural connotations. The value of its collection and investment is obvious.
