What to Look For

Check dimensions carefully, including any wooden stand, and compare the stated weight with the photographs. Inspect the dragon’s relief, claws, face and pearl for softened detail, chips or fresh-looking tool marks. Ask whether the piece is jadeite, nephrite or another green stone, and whether this is based on testing or simply the seller’s description; “jade” alone is not enough. Look for drilled holes, fittings, mounting repairs and glued sections on pendants or larger carvings. Review every image for colour variation, cracks and polish, and ask for close-ups of signatures, seals or labels. Confirm completeness, stand condition, return terms and insured UK delivery before buying.

Buying Tips

When comparing Chinese jade dragon carvings in the UK, check dimensions, weight and the material description rather than relying on colour alone. Look closely at photographs for chips, cracks, worn detail, drilled holes, repairs and replaced stands. Ask whether the piece is jadeite, nephrite, another stone or simply described as jade, and request clear images of marks and all surfaces. Confirm what is included, then review postage, insurance, dispatch times and the seller’s returns terms before buying.
