How to Identify Jade Bracelets

There are many types of jade bracelets, and there are also many ways to identify them. Only by mastering a wealth of knowledge about jade can one identify the genuine product. Below I will teach you a simple method to identify jade bracelets for your reference.

1: Observe obliquely against the light to see if there are any small holes on the surface illuminated by natural light. If there are small holes, it is fake. The surface of a real jade bracelet is very smooth and has no small holes.

2: Look at the hardness. Rub the jade against a piece of glass hard (with permission), and then check if the surface of the jade is worn. If so, it is fake.

3: Use a toothpick to put a drop of water on the surface of the jade. If it were the real thing, water would hang on it like dew drops. If it is fake, don't use water. Of course, be sure to wipe the jade clean before inspection.

4: Carefully observe whether the jade bracelet has cracks. Comprehensively observe the front, back, inside and outside of each jade bracelet, because serious cracks are fatal to the jade bracelet.

5: Pay attention to whether the shape of the jade bracelet is very round, whether the thickness of the diameter is uniform, whether the polishing is satisfactory, etc.

6: A good jade bracelet should have “quality and color”. "Type" refers to the fineness, crystal quality and transparency of jade, and "color" mainly refers to emerald green.

These identification methods can be summarized into four sentences: check for cracks first to prevent fatal flaws, reduce the number of defects and ensure fine workmanship, it is difficult to make a deal if the size does not match, and "good quality and color" are the best products. By mastering these techniques, you can identify the authenticity of jade bracelets. Of course, experience still plays a big role in appraisal work.
