How many folk remedies for identifying jadeite do you know?

The jade market is now a mixed bag. Many unscrupulous merchants use chemical soaking or artificial pouring methods to make fake jade, so it is a very important step to verify the authenticity of jade before purchasing it.

However, there are many ways to identify jadeite, including some folk remedies. Some identification methods have been eliminated by the times, and some identification methods are fundamentally wrong. Today, Cuixuan Yipin Jewelry will review several remedies for identifying jadeite to see whether they can really identify the authenticity of jadeite.

1. Fire method

The fire burning method has been very popular before. Even many merchants selling jade will demonstrate by wrapping hair around jade and using the continuous burning method to prove that the jade they sell is authentic.

The specific operation method is to wrap a strand of hair around the jade bracelet and then use a lighter to burn the hair. If the jade is genuine, there is no way it can burn your hair.

But in fact, this method has no basis, because the thermal conductivity of jade itself is relatively poor, and the hair is wrapped very tightly. Even if it is B-grade or C-grade jade, this method can ensure that the hair will not burn.

Jade, as a kind of jade, will not change its properties after being burned like precious metal jewelry such as gold or silver. After experiencing high-temperature burning, jade will lose its moisture, making it look dry and rough. The surface gloss will also be damaged, causing the internal structure to be destroyed. This method is very harmful to jade.

2. Freezing method

There have been rumors before that putting jade in a freezer and quickly freezing it will make the jade's water head better, but in fact this method is not advisable. This quick freezing method will not only not make the jade jewelry more transparent and have better water head, but it will also cause it. There are problems such as cracks or breakage.

For jadeite, sudden changes in external temperature will have a certain impact on their properties, so this method should never be tried.

Percussion

I believe that some jade lovers have heard of this method of identifying the authenticity of jade by knocking on it to determine whether the sound of the jade is clear and pleasant. This method is still an unreliable method, because in addition to jadeite, there are many ordinary jades that also make crisp sounds when knocked.

Moreover, the results obtained by this method are not accurate enough. If the jade has no cracks, then its sound will be very crisp, but if there are cracks on the jade, the sound will definitely be muffled.

Nowadays, many fake jades have been processed by chemical methods and can also make crisp sounds when knocked. However, it is really not advisable to judge by this method.

4. Go by feel

Only experienced industry insiders can judge the authenticity of jadeite by feeling, but who can guarantee that the results of their identification are accurate?

Some people would claim that jade that feels cooler is real jade. This method is really ridiculous because the temperature of the jade itself will be affected by the external temperature. If you place jade in the sun for a while, it will still feel warm, so this method has no basis.

If you want to evaluate the authenticity of jadeite, you should choose an experienced appraisal agency to conduct the appraisal. This can not only protect the jadeite, but also provide accurate appraisal results.
