Jade bracelets are the most valuable jade jewelry. The main reason is that jade bracelets are made of relatively large materials, and the overall quality also needs to be considered. When you get a piece of jade rough material, the first thing you consider is whether it can be made into a bracelet. Only with the remaining scraps will I consider making rings, pendants, etc. Because jade is expensive, some merchants sell inferior products as good ones or even counterfeit them. For most people, their knowledge of jade is only superficial. So how do you tell whether a jade bracelet is authentic? In fact, it only takes three simple steps to tell whether jade is real or fake. Step 1: Distinguish between jade and non-jade Not all jades are jadeite. Jadeite has a transparent texture and a sense of color. The most important thing to distinguish whether jade is jadeite is to look at the jadeite's green properties. The reflection of jadeite minerals can be clearly seen on the surface of jade, which is commonly known as fly wings. If it is imitation jade, it will not have the jade quality. That is to say, when we observe the inside of jade, we cannot see the fly wings. Although chalcedony, water foam, etc. are similar to jadeite in appearance, they are not true jadeite. Step 2: Observe the gloss of the jade bracelet Natural jade has a particularly strong luster and is clear and translucent overall. If it is jade that has been injected with glue or color, it will look a little foggy and its glossiness will not be very strong. The luster of the jade bracelet can also be used to determine whether the jade is genuine. Of course, if you observe the internal structure carefully, you will find that natural jade has a tight texture and appears sticky and rigid through reflection. However, if it is glue-injected jadeite, acid-etched reticulation can be seen under strong light, and the internal structure is relatively loose. In addition, the internal structure of natural jade will have some minor flaws, such as a small amount of impurities, or black spots, and other colors. But if the inside of the jade is very clean, it is generally a fake product, unless it is jade worth sky-high price. Step 3: Observe the color of the jadeite Natural jade will have color roots. The so-called color roots mean that you can see a little bit, line, or piece of blue. You can also see the color transition from dark green to light green. Moreover, the colors are visible, and the depth is not consistent. But if it is imitation jade, the color is generally diffuse, and it feels like floating on the surface. It appears to be distributed in the wind like a silk screen, with blurred color boundaries and uniform tones. If you want to judge the authenticity of jadeite, you still need to observe more. Generally speaking, the color of natural jade bracelets is all in the jade flesh, so the color of jade is relatively clear without any blur. Of course, when we choose jade, we also need to distinguish the types. Especially between chalcedony and jadeite, they look very similar, but the prices are worlds apart. Green chalcedony or purple chalcedony are both very decorative and beautiful accessories. But chalcedony is not jade, but a type of quartz. Chalcedony is a variation of quartz. Common ones include white chalcedony, blue chalcedony, purple chalcedony, red chalcedony, yellow chalcedony, etc. The water jade bracelet is also very similar to the jadeite bracelet, and many merchants even use it to replace the ice jadeite bracelet. However, the water jade bracelet does not look shiny and is not valuable. In fact, water foam is just a companion mineral of jade. It has the same long history as jade, and there are many tiny bubbles in the water foam. There is also a kind of polishing powder bracelet on the market. In fact, polishing powder is just a colorant. It is just to apply powder lightly on the polished bracelet, and then apply beeswax. So there is a feeling that the color is floating on the surface and has a grainy feel. It looks turbid and the color is not natural. If you want to judge the authenticity of a jade bracelet, you first need to judge the authenticity of the jade, and then distinguish the quality of the jade bracelet based on the gloss and color of the bracelet. If it is a natural jade bracelet, the color is real and delicate, and the internal structure is tight. If it is an imitation, the colors will float and the structure will be loose. fruit feicuibbs1 fcgc60 |
