3 Don'ts, 4 Fears, 8 Things to Note When Wearing Jade

Nowadays, jade has become a sacred object that people are competing for. Wearing jade jewelry can not only enhance your temperament, but also has the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting the body. Let’s take a look at what we need to pay attention to when offering jade to make the jade more effective!

1. Three taboos for jade maintenance

1. Avoid fishy smell. Avoid contact with fishy objects, as salty and fishy smells can easily damage the quality of jade.

2. Avoid oil. Some jadeite is often sticky and greasy because of insufficient ground expansion, which prevents its clear light from shining through. Some people like to use facial oil, hair oil, etc. to rub it when playing with it. Some even apply leftover oil on the jade, thinking that this will make it oily. In fact, these oils prevent the jade from emitting brilliance, making it "closed" and unable to make it warm. Experienced experts will wash the jade with hot water or hot tea every once in a while to remove the oil and keep it moist.

3. Avoid filth. If your hands are covered in dirt, the earth gate will be blocked and the dust cannot be removed. Even if you play with it every day, it will be in vain and may even backfire.

2. Four things to be careful of when maintaining jadeite

1. Afraid of ice. Frequent contact with ice will damage the soil layer, and the jade will become dull and unable to show its color. It will not come alive and become “dead”. Second, fear of water.

2. Afraid of fire. If it is often close to fire, the color will fade. Fire is different from natural geothermal heat. It becomes soft and changes after being steamed by natural geothermal heat for a long time, and then it is slowly invaded by color.

3. Afraid of ginger. Some people believe that soaking in ginger water can remove fishy smell and odor. Actually, it is not. When in contact with ginger water, the existing color will become dull and lifeless. If it is soaked for too long, it will even develop pockmarks all over the body. Even if you play with it in the future, it will be difficult to remedy the problem.

4. Fear of falling. This is a well-known truth.

3. Eight points to note when collecting jadeite

1. Avoid lack of perseverance and fickleness. Becoming a capable collector is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is the result of decades of painstaking efforts and hard work. Without this spirit, one is likely to give up halfway.

2. Avoid being too ambitious and trying to achieve everything. You must focus on your goal and choose your collection objects well. In the collecting process, you should start with the easy and then move on to the difficult, start with the rough and then move on to the fine. You must not be impatient for success and blindly pursue rare and precious items.

3. Be careful not to be indecisive and lose good opportunities. Once you set your sights on something to collect, you should make a prompt decision. We must remember that opportunities are rare and once lost, they will never come back. Such lessons are everywhere.

4. Avoid being careless and making blind purchases. The current antique market is full of mixed people. When collecting collections, you must be careful and cautious, especially when dealing with more precious items.

5. Avoid being distracted by material things and affecting your job. Amateur collectors all have their own jobs. Therefore, we must put things in the right place and not put the cart before the horse. It is true that it is difficult to collect well without a hobby, but amateur collecting should not affect one's main work, and playing with things without losing one's ambition is the new trend in collecting today.

6. Avoid disobeying laws and regulations and being immoral. Collectors must abide by the law and must not forget the law when they see profit. Character is more important than collections. Losing character for the sake of collections goes against the ethics of collecting.

7. Don’t just keep things to yourself without learning, or you will become arrogant. The value of collecting lies in research. If you only collect without learning, you are no different from a custodian. If one shows off when he has achieved a little success and does not strive for progress, he is like a frog in a well.

8. Avoid putting it on the shelf and keeping it secret from others. Many collectors display their collections to the public without reservation so that everyone can share the fun, or even donate them to the country, which can make them feel spiritually happy and satisfied. Collecting collections and putting them on the shelf without making use of their social benefits is tantamount to being a miser who holds on to money.
