Master these jade identification tips, and you can turn from a novice into an expert in seconds!

Common jade identification methods are nothing more than starting with the aspects of "quality, water, color, and workmanship". In fact, in addition to these major basic aspects, there are also some tips to help you identify jade when purchasing.

1. Knocking sound

Gently hit the two bracelets together. Be careful to be gentle, gentle, and gentle (Important things must be said three times). If you hit too hard, there may be no consequences... Natural jade will make a clear "clang" sound. The impact sound of B-grade jadeite with obvious fillings will be dull and not so clear.

2. Reticulated

Jade washed with strong acid generally has obvious pores and reticular structures. Although stress and weathering can produce obvious pores and reticular structures in natural jade, these natural pores can be filled with later zeolite, clay minerals, etc., and may also be filled with mineral powder or polishing powder during the cutting, grinding and polishing process. Products with these fillers are not B-grade products and are easy to identify.

3. Classification of Jadeite Grades

On the premise that the jade pieces being appraised are natural jade, they are divided into grades and price categories according to the 5C2T standard: composition, color, clarity, cut, weight, transparency, and texture. When buying jadeite, you can pay attention to these aspects as a measure of whether the price is appropriate.

4. Jade identification certificate

The appraisal certificate can be said to be the most convincing reassurance in the jade industry. Even if some jades are real, but the density of their internal structure does not meet the standards, it is impossible to issue a certificate. Therefore, the credibility of jade identification certificates is still very high. Generally, the appraisal certificate of natural jadeite (grade A) will be marked with "Jade", "Natural Jade", "Jade (grade A)", "Jade (natural)", etc., while grade B and C jadeite will all be marked with "Jade (processed)" or "Jade (optimized)".

The appraisal certificates issued by various institutions are credible, but there are also unscrupulous businessmen who will issue forged appraisal certificates, or real certificates with fake jade. Therefore, when you buy jadeite, even if the merchant has issued an appraisal certificate, you must carefully distinguish the authenticity of the certificate, whether the certificate and the jade are consistent, etc., before you can buy it with confidence.
