It is difficult to tell whether jade is real or fake. Here is the most direct way to tell the difference with your naked eyes.

If you want to buy jadeite, it must be pure natural A-grade jade, which will appreciate in value and have collection value. Although everyone knows this truth, once you enter the jade market, you will still be dazzled by the various types of jade, both real and fake. Especially today when B+C goods are rampantly counterfeited as A goods, it is even more difficult to distinguish the authenticity of jade. But identifying jade is actually not as difficult as everyone imagines. It doesn’t even need to be sent to an authoritative appraisal agency. As long as you master the following methods, you can easily distinguish real jade from fake jade with your naked eyes.

First of all, before starting the identification, don’t look at the jade first. Ask the merchant for the legal business certificate and the jade identification certificate. Formal natural A-grade jadeite dealers are required to have specific appraisal certificates, which is a guarantee for consumers’ rights. A piece of jade without an appraisal certificate is like a person without an ID card; they cannot prove their authenticity. If you can't see it, you can block this store.

Then we can start looking at jadeite. Jadeite has many unique features on its appearance that distinguish it from other jades and also from fake jadeite. The first is to look at the surface texture. There will be a wrinkled texture on the surface of jade that looks like orange peel, which is called the "orange peel effect". Fake jade has been corroded by strong acid during the counterfeiting process, so there will be a grid-like acid corrosion mark that can be seen with the naked eye.

The second is to look at the color. Because the so-called full green of B-grade bracelets is produced by dyeing, the dyeing is quite evenly floating on the surface and is rich. The naturally formed green, no matter how rich it is, is layered and gives people a sense of depth. This is a kind of gradual beauty, which cannot be faked. One is surface coverage, the other is restrained brilliance, so they should be easy to distinguish.

Here I will teach you another little trick. You can bring some toilet water when you go to the counter. The chemical components in the toilet water have no effect on pure natural jade, but for jade with polishing powder on the surface, it will restore its true appearance in a second. Next time you go shopping, pick up a small bottle and fill it with some, then you won’t be afraid of being cheated anymore.
