I spent millions to find a green jade bracelet, but it turned out to be a fake.

When jade lovers buy jade, what they fear most is buying fakes.

Therefore, when buying jadeite, everyone knows to look at the appraisal certificate. Later, it is discovered that appraisal certificates can be real or fake.

In the end, many jade lovers were cheated by buying fake products.

Many jade lovers buy fake products because they want to save money, so they regret it. However, the economic loss is usually not that great and can be tolerated.

But the fake jade bought by the jade friend I’m going to talk about today is not so easy to bear.

Look at this jade bracelet. Isn’t it super beautiful? Compared with the jade bracelets that were auctioned at sky-high prices in the past, it is not inferior at all, and is even better.

This jade lover talked with the owner for a long time and finally spent 3.88 million to buy the jade bracelet.

Compare the photos and if this jade bracelet is genuine, then you must have found a bargain.

Unfortunately, this jade bracelet is a genuine B+C product.

When the appraisal result came out, the jade lover didn't believe it at all, because this jade bracelet had an appraisal certificate, and he had also made a phone call and scanned the QR code, and there were no problems at all. How could it be a fake?

What I want to tell you today is that compared to high-end jadeite, the test results provided by merchants are not convincing.

It is possible that the test result is just a certificate randomly issued by some organization that does not have the testing qualifications; or the certificate is real, but the goods have been replaced. All are possible.

Therefore, when buying high-end jadeite, you must do a re-inspection to ensure that there are no problems.

Nowadays, since jade identification certificates have QR codes, many people often scan them with their mobile phones after receiving them, and use the scanned information to determine the authenticity.

However, because the price of high-end jadeite is high enough, merchants selling fakes will take advantage of this habit of jade lovers and build a fake information platform online.

It is definitely not as appropriate to simply scan the QR code on the appraisal certificate as to go for a re-inspection.

Because jadeite purchased online has an appreciation period, which may be 24 hours or 48 hours.

This time is for jade lovers to re-inspect the jade after purchasing it. If the appreciation period is too short or there is no appreciation period at all, you should be vigilant.

Today, I would like to share with you some simple jade identification techniques.

For experts, the identification of jadeite can be divided into “one look, two touch, three weight”.

"Look" means looking at the color of jade, its luster, as well as the "orange peel effect" and "fly wings" of jade.

1. Color

There are many colors of jade, but no matter what color it is, natural jade is naturally distributed, moist and translucent;

Dyed jade lacks luster and gives people a "dry" or "water-lacking" feeling.

2. Gloss

Natural jade has a distinct glass luster, which is like the reflection of glass surface, and the luster is very bright, which is particularly prominent in high-grade jade.

However, the surface structure of artificially processed jade is destroyed and its luster is dull.

3. “Orange Peel Effect”

The "orange peel effect" is a surface feature on the polished surface of natural jade that, when observed through reflection, will appear with bumps and depressions of different sizes and directions similar to those of orange peel.

The "orange peel effect" is only more prominent in A-grade jadeite, and the boundary between the convex and concave gradually transitions smoothly;

The ridges and valleys in B-grade jadeite are not smoothly transitioned, but are separated by a crack, like a spider web-like crack pattern. This pattern is called "acid etching network pattern", which is obviously different from the "orange peel effect".

4. "Fly Wings"

"Fly wings" are the small shiny surfaces seen on the surface of jade under the sunlight, like small wing-shaped shiny particles. This is a unique characteristic of jade.

What I want to say here is that "fly wings" is an important sign for identifying A-grade jadeite, but it is not the only sign.

touch

Jade has strong physical thermal conductivity, and it dissipates and transfers heat quickly.

If you put jade on your face or on the back of your hand, you will feel a cool sensation for a short period of time.

Jade has high hardness and a dense and fine structure. After polishing, it has a very high surface smoothness and feels noticeably smooth to the touch.

Weigh

This "weighing" refers to the feel of the pressure of jadeite.

The density of jadeite is about 3.34 g/cubic centimeter, which is higher than similar nephrite, Dushan jade, Xiuyan jade, Australian jade, Malayan jade (dyed quartzite), hard sodium jade and grape jade, but lower than Qinghai jadeite (grossular garnet) and tesavo stone (hydrogrossular garnet).

Therefore, if you weigh an A-grade jadeite in your hand, you will feel an obvious "pressure". If you encounter this situation, then congratulations, this piece is A-grade jadeite!

In many cases, these three identification methods are more intuitive, and newcomers can quickly master the skills after trying a few times.

Whether it is looking, touching or weighing, it all comes down to experience. In other words, practice makes perfect.

If you have jade in your hands, regardless of the quality, you can try to compare it with other things according to these methods. It is easy to master these methods.
