Experts tell you the most intuitive method to identify real and fake jadeite. You don’t have to worry about being cheated anymore!

In today's jewelry market, jade is becoming more and more popular, and more and more people like to wear and collect jade. In all business activities, where there is profit, there is speculation.

Therefore, many unscrupulous businessmen have started to tamper with the authenticity of jadeite, and their methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. Of course, in the eyes of experts who often come into contact with jade, it is not difficult to distinguish between real and fake jade; but for newcomers to the jade industry, their understanding of jade is only at the theoretical stage. In other words, they have come into contact with too little jade, and it is still difficult for them to distinguish the authenticity of jade.

Today, I will tell you some simple ways to judge the authenticity of jade. It does not rely on instruments, but mainly uses our eyes to see, hands to touch, and feel to distinguish the real from the fake. In this way, if you encounter B-grade or C-grade jadeite, you will have an idea and won’t be cheated!

Among the jadeite we usually talk about, A-grade jadeite is natural jadeite, which is also the real jadeite in the mouth of newcomers. As for B and C-grade jadeite, they are jadeite that has been processed by chemical industry, which is also the fake jadeite in the mouth of newcomers. As shown below:

I will directly tell you some simple identification methods. Of course, these identification methods also require us to have more contact with real jade and exercise our eyesight. If you don't have the conditions to come into contact with jade frequently, it is also very simple. Find a trustworthy jade merchant and look at his circle of friends more often. The more you look at it, the easier it will be to distinguish the real from the fake.

1. Gloss contrast

Natural A-grade jadeite generally has a glassy luster, is warm and transparent, and has strong reflectivity; while B-grade jadeite has a "resinous" luster, and although it appears to be very transparent, its luster is dull and appears to have no spirituality.

2. Color contrast

The color of natural A-grade jade is naturally layered with some obvious transitions; the color of B-grade jade is too bright or a little yellowish, which looks unnatural; the green color of C-grade jade is evenly distributed without any transitions.

3. Surface structure comparison

The surface of A-grade jadeite is smooth and bright, with an inlaid and interwoven structure, like orange peel texture. B-grade jadeite has been corroded by strong acid, so under a magnifying glass you can see some network-like acid-etching marks or some glue-injected cracks.

4. Basic comparison

Natural A-grade jade has strong light penetration, is crystal clear, has a "fly wing" structure inside the jade and has strong reflectivity. However, B-grade jade has a loose structure, weaker light penetration, and is relatively blurry.

5. Certificate Comparison

Finally, we have to talk about the jade identification certificate. If you still cannot feel at ease with the above methods, then the only thing you can rely on is the identification certificate. The identification certificate will have the jade identification results. Whether it is A grade or B grade, you will know at a glance!

Here, I would like to remind everyone of all collections of jewelry, jade, and cultural relics. It is different from ordinary products when purchasing. If you have even the slightest doubt about this jade product, that is, you cannot be 100% sure that it is authentic jade, then don't buy it. In this industry, buying finished jade is different from gambling on stones. There is no such thing as probability. What is real is real, and what is fake is fake.
