How to tell whether jade is authentic? Here is a quick guide to identify

To appreciate the beauty of jade, one must start from its source.

We all know that jade is originated in Myanmar, and the place closest to Myanmar in my country is Yunnan. The raw stones produced in Yunnan and Myanmar are subsequently transported to various parts of Guangdong for processing. The level of jade processing technology in Guangdong is obvious to all, and different regions have their own advantages.

Now that you know the origin of jadeite, do you know the difference between ABCD jadeite?

Listen to me carefully

• Grade A refers to natural jade, commonly known as real jade, which is truly valuable jade and is also known as "living jade" among the people.

• B-grade jade is jade that has undergone artificial "acid washing and glue injection". This type of B-grade jade will turn yellow after being worn for a long period of time, which will seriously affect its beauty. The texture of the jade is changed after being washed with acid, so its hardness is also lower than that of natural jade.

• C-grade jade is a type of dyed jade, which is generally made by artificially dyeing colorless, light-colored, and low-grade jade with good water content. This type of jade cannot stand the test of time and will gradually fade over time.

• D-grade jade is a counterfeit of jadeite, which is imitated from other jades that are similar to jadeite.

Are you still unsatisfied after only knowing the difference between goods ABCD?

I, the editor who understands you, have also sorted out some tips for you to distinguish the true from the false~

Then you look down

1. Look at impurities

Since natural jade is formed naturally, it is inevitable that there will be some impurities, such as black, yellow, and gray flaws and inclusions; however, jade that has been specially treated will not have such natural impurities.

2. Look at the color root

The color root of jade refers to a line of slightly darker green transitioning to a lighter green in jade jewelry. The color roots of natural jade green are distributed in clusters with distinct outlines; otherwise, they appear as floating spots and black dots, and are blurred.

3. Try the feel

Natural jade gives people a cool green feeling. Due to its high density and hardness, it has an obvious feeling of pressure. On the contrary, jade that has undergone special treatments such as glue injection does not have a high enough density to achieve this effect, and will have an obvious sticky feeling of the coating.

4. Look at the gloss

Natural jade has a very good gloss, like the luster of glass; on the contrary, the color appears dull and looks waxy or resinous, turbid and without any sense of layering.
