How to tell whether jade is authentic? Teach you how to avoid buying fake jade

Jade has been the king of jade since ancient times. To this day, there are still many people who love and wear jade. It is the first choice of jewelry and collection object for many friends. When people who don’t know much about jade want to buy it, one of the biggest problems they face is its authenticity.

There are a lot of frauds in the jade market today. When we buy jade in physical stores, we must be extra careful. Jade that looks very beautiful, has a very clean texture, and beautiful color, and the key is that the price is very cheap, we feel that we have picked up a bargain. In fact, we must remain calm at this time, because this kind of jade is very likely to be B or C goods, that is, fake jade that has undergone a series of artificial treatments such as bleaching, acid washing, glue injection, and dyeing.

How to tell whether jade is authentic?

Look at the certificate: Jadeite comes with an appraisal certificate, but some certificates are fake, so we also have to learn to distinguish the authenticity of the certificate. The appraisal certificate must be issued by an authoritative organization recognized by the state. Pay attention to whether there is a CMA, CAL or CNAL logo on the certificate and whether there is a steel stamp or anti-counterfeiting mark.

Look at the characteristics of jadeite: Natural jadeite will have "orange peel effect" or "fly wing phenomenon" on its surface, which is caused by the crystal structure of natural jadeite itself. This is the key information on how to distinguish the authenticity of jadeite. B-grade jadeite has been acid-washed and injected with glue, so there will be acid-etched marks and dissolution pits on the surface.

The color of natural jade is bright and vivid, the color penetrates deeply into the interior of the jade, and the color roots are obviously visible. However, dyed jade, although it looks more intense in color, the color and texture are separated, the color roots are often not visible, and it appears too uniform. With the help of a magnifying glass, the accumulation of dyes can be observed in the cracks of the jade.

How to avoid buying fake jadeite

Before purchasing, be sure to ask the merchant to provide an appraisal certificate issued by an authoritative organization, and then go to the official website to check whether it is A-grade jade and whether it is consistent with the real thing based on the content on the certificate. Nowadays, some online merchants will make the pictures very beautiful, but in fact many of them are not very jade, but are imitated by other jades, such as water jade, B3 jade, Malaysian jade, etc. These are what the industry calls D-grade jade.

In addition, when purchasing jadeite, we should choose more reputable merchants. These merchants have reliable sources of goods. Although the prices may be more expensive, they can be guaranteed to be natural jadeite.
