But if you think that as long as there is a certificate it is real jade, then you are wrong. Nowadays, unscrupulous merchants have already arranged for fake certificates. In this issue of "Jade Encyclopedia", Shopkeeper Cui will teach you some basic methods to help you distinguish between real and fake certificates!

Look at the letter logo


I wonder if you have noticed a common point when looking at these certificates, that is, the jade appraisal certificates of these authoritative institutions have CMA, CAL or CNAL logos. These logos represent the qualifications of the institutions, and "CMA" is a must. If it is missing, it proves that the appraisal agency has no appraisal qualifications at all and is not trustworthy.

Look at the address and stamp

In addition, a formal jade appraisal certificate must have the address and contact information of the appraisal agency. You can call to confirm the authenticity of the certificate, or check online whether the address really exists. In addition, there must be an obvious stamp on the certificate!

Now is an era of advanced information. People are accustomed to scanning to pay, and the appraisal agencies also provide us with QR codes. Most certificates have QR codes. When we want to check the certificate, we can scan the code to see whether the product displayed after the jump is consistent with our product!

Certificate signature

Friends who often see jade identification certificates should find that there are signatures of the inspector and reviewer in the information column in the lower left corner of the certificate, and most of these signatures are handwritten. Therefore, if we want to judge the authenticity of a certificate, the signature on the certificate is also a key item, and it must be signed by two people at the same time!

View test results

The information in the certificate should be our biggest concern, especially the inspection results. The inspection results of natural jadeite are generally shown as: Jadeite (Grade A), while most of the Grade B jadeite are marked as: Jadeite (Processed). This is an important link. When buying jadeite and checking the certificate, jade lovers must check it clearly to avoid being deceived!
