Why should you buy A-grade jadeite? How can we tell them apart? Let’s learn together

When most people choose to buy jade jewelry, they always hear people say that only A-grade jade is more valuable. As long as they buy such products, they have to buy A-grade jade, and this is indeed the case. Because A-grade products are more popular in the market and their prices are usually higher than some other products. But for those newcomers who have just entered this industry, they have no idea what kind of product is called A-grade, let alone how to identify whether the product is A-grade.


First of all, we need to know what A-grade products are. Only those products that have not been processed by any artificial means or by any other methods can be called A-grade products. Only such products can be called real jade. Generally speaking, there will be a clear mark on the product's certificate indicating that it is an A-grade product. If the word "jade" is only written on the appraisal certificate of a jewelry, it means that it is not necessarily A-grade jade. It may be B-grade or C-grade jade that has been artificially processed.


You should know that A-grade products do not refer to those with the best and highest quality. They just mean that they are naturally formed and have not undergone any chemical treatment. In addition to this product, there are also B goods that have been acid-washed and C goods that have been dyed. As for B+C goods that are used for both pickling and dyeing, when we obtain the appraisal certificate, we must check carefully whether the word "A goods" is marked on it. If these two words are not there, then it is a processed product.


Although people's way of dealing with it has become more and more advanced. Moreover, these processed products appear to be no different from the real ones when observed with the naked eye. But if you look closely, you can see some subtle differences between them. The first thing we need to know about color is that the color distribution of A-grade jade is very natural. This is mainly because when light propagates in natural A-grade jade, it will be blocked by some particle boundaries or gaps.


However, for products that have been processed, light can easily pass between its particles without reflection in the gaps. And the structure is completely different. The natural A-grade jade has very obvious crystal particles on the surface, and some even scatter light, giving people a very clear feeling.


However, the surfaces of the processed products have very obvious acid etching marks. Some still have residual dye, and there is no graininess when the light shines through. The reason why people choose pure natural A-grade products when purchasing this kind of product. This is mainly because the other types have no value for collection and appreciation. There are still many problems with those processed products, which is a complete waste of money.
