How to distinguish the authenticity of jadeite

Now more and more people are beginning to like wearing jade, because jade has a strong cultural heritage and is rated as the king of jade by the jade industry. It is naturally favored by more and more people.

However, there are both real and fake jade in the jade market, especially for jade with better quality and higher value, the counterfeiting is even more serious. This has caused many people to stay away from jade. After all, no one wants to spend a lot of money and get a fake product in return. So today we will talk about several relatively simple and easy-to-learn methods of identifying the authenticity of jadeite.

1. Be firm by using weight. When you hold real jade in your hand, you can feel its weight and thickness, unlike glass imitations which feel light and airy. This is because jade has a tight internal structure and high hardness.

2. Look at the color. Natural jade, especially green jade, has color roots. Natural jade has natural color, while fake and inferior jade has a loose structure and when viewed through a flashlight or placed in water, its clarity decreases and it appears milky white and waxy.

3. Identify by tapping and making sounds. When identifying jadeite, you can first gently tap its surface and listen to the sound it makes. If it is natural jade, we will generally hear a crisp sound when knocking it. This is because the internal structure of natural jade is denser and there are no bubbles. On the contrary, when you tap artificial jade lightly, the sound you hear is not as crisp, but rather dull.

4. Identify by the color and gloss of the surface. Real jade has pure color, luster, and no other colors mixed in. Therefore, when distinguishing the authenticity of jadeite, you can hold it under the sunlight and look at it carefully to check its color, glossiness, etc.

5. Identify by the hardness of jadeite. Real natural jade is harder and not easily scratched by a knife. Therefore, when distinguishing the authenticity of jadeite, you can also use a knife to gently scratch the surface of the jade to see if it will leave any marks. Normally, natural jade will not easily leave marks due to its hardness.

6. Finally, you can also identify it through the appraisal certificate. Friends who know how to read the appraisal certificate must ask the merchant for the appraisal certificate when purchasing jadeite, and use the appraisal certificate to determine the authenticity of the jadeite.
