Many people say that the jade industry is "deeply fraught", which causes many consumers to be hesitant to act rashly when purchasing, fearing that they will be cheated. Indeed, the counterfeiting techniques in the jade industry are endless, and the methods of counterfeiting are also ever-changing, making it difficult for many buyers to distinguish between the real and the fake. For example, a recent online report said that the father of a Ms. Zhang bought a jade pendant. Even with the corresponding "jade certificate", he finally found that he had fallen into the trap of "fake jade". Moreover, through in-depth investigation by reporters, it was discovered that national-level appraisal certificates on the Internet can be counterfeited.

As soon as this incident was reported, many consumers couldn't help but sigh. How can consumers believe that the jade they purchased is real? After all, for most novices, the certificate is the most direct and simple way to verify the authenticity of jadeite.

In fact, there are some things to pay attention to when buying jadeite. As long as you keep the following three points in mind, you can easily avoid traps!

When buying jadeite, you must learn to identify its authenticity

There are many ways to identify the authenticity of jade on the Internet, such as looking at the color of jade, looking at the luster of jade and so on. First of all, looking at the color of jade is more intuitive. The color of natural jade extends from the inside to the outside, and you can usually see color roots (here is an explanation, the darker colors of jade, such as green, slowly transition to relatively lighter colors. These darker colors are called color roots), the color distribution has a sense of layering, and after the dyed jade is acid-washed and a large amount of dye is added, the color will appear particularly bright, but very dull, and looks very unnatural. In addition, jade has an obvious glass luster after polishing, while the luster of jade after glue injection is not that strong, and usually has a resin or waxy luster.

2. When buying jadeite, you need to verify the certificate that comes with it.

Generally, jadeite purchased from a formal institution will be provided with a certificate. The certificate will also contain the basic information of the jadeite, such as certificate number, inspection conclusion, jadeite weight, size, refractive index, density, magnified inspection, etc. At this time, we need to check whether the information on the jade certificate is consistent with the actual object. Secondly, the certificate usually has CMA, CNAL, and CMA marks. These are all legal inspection agencies, and any of the three marks is valid. It also has the information of the organization that issued the certificate, such as website, phone number, address, etc. However, to verify the authenticity of the certificate, we can choose to call or go to the website to verify.

3. Choose a formal channel to buy jadeite

There are many channels to buy jade, such as physical stores, e-commerce platforms, etc. Among them, when buying in physical stores, it is best to go to jewelry stores in some large shopping malls or find more reputable brand jewelry stores to buy, which is more secure. For online e-commerce platforms, it is best to find flagship stores, formal operations, and reputable stores. It is best to be like Jiuyu.com, which has both online and physical stores, and it is also a relatively well-known brand. Buying in such a store is more secure. The least recommended thing here is to buy from some street stalls, as there is a high possibility of buying fakes.

Therefore, there are actually ways to deal with the various counterfeiting methods of jade, but the premise is that you must be careful and cautious. Remember not to take it lightly. At the same time, you must not be greedy for cheapness. Remember that the quality corresponds to the price. It is impossible to have high quality and low price.
