Why does jade turn yellow and dry after you wear it at home for a while?

Recently, many friends have said: Jade becomes more beautiful the more you wear it. However, some friends have found that their jade becomes yellower and uglier the more they wear it, and they even suspect that they have a disease or have bought a fake. Jiamo is here to tell you that there is another possibility for jade to become ugly, that is, it has mutated !

“Variant Jade” What is the variant of jade?

"Mid- and low-end jadeite, including some high-end jadeite, has a shelf life. It may be half a year, one or two years, or seven or eight years, and it will become something different from what you bought it, such as turning yellow or gray. We call this phenomenon a variant."

In fact, it is very easy to see the mutations of jadeite, and the main manifestations are as follows: the gloss becomes worse, it becomes dry, yellowing, the green becomes old, and finally it turns black.

So what kind of jade will mutate?

1. Too tender, unstable structure

In jade trading, the concept of jade "type" is everywhere, because the quality of "type" reflects the grade of jade pieces to a large extent, and is one of the most important indicators for evaluating the value of jade commodities. It can even be said that "type" is the soul of jade.

Jadeites with loose and unstable structures are very easy to mutate . Also because of the loose and unstable structure, the liquid adsorbent in the gaps between the jade crystals easily evaporates, causing the water head to be lost and the jade to become dry and yellow. This creates a gap from the time when it was first purchased, which is what we call "expired".

2. Improper maintenance, resulting in water leakage

All jewelry needs to be cared for and maintained. Normally, we will see that there is always a cup of water in the counter selling jade jewelry. In fact, this is to increase the humidity and make the jade look more lustrous and moisturized. However , if you do not take good care of the jade during daily wear, its glossiness will become worse and worse, and it will leak water . In severe cases, it may even crack.

So sometimes we can soak our jade in water appropriately, but we also need to pay attention to some issues. The type of jade determines the size of its pores . The better the quality, the greater the density and the smaller the gaps, so the soaking time in water does not need to be so long. However, if the jade has large pores, it is more prone to dehydration, so you can soak it in water frequently to increase its beauty.

From the above, we can see that if we want the jade to not change, we need to select old jade and do a good job of daily maintenance !

What is old jade?

Old type of jade refers to jade with bright and beautiful color, evenly distributed color and fine texture. Some people also call the tea old pit variety if it meets the characteristics of being positive, thick, positive and uniform . Generally speaking, bean-type and glutinous-type jade are tender types of jade that are prone to mutate. Glass and ice types are “old” types of jade, with tight structure, high density, and full water content, and they will not mutate easily.

Finally, Jiamo can tell you clearly that for natural jade, variation is a normal natural phenomenon, mainly changing from good to worse in appearance, and it has no special effect on the human body. However, when buying jade, everyone should try to choose old A-grade jade and take good care of it.
