About the distinction and identification of jadeite ABCD goods

Usually we see finished jadeite for sale in the market. The quality varies greatly. The industry divides them into A-grade, B-grade, C-grade, and D-grade.

A-grade jade has natural color and texture, and only A-grade jade is what people generally call the real thing. This type of jewelry will become more moist and shiny as you wear it for a longer time.

B-grade jade refers to jade that has been soaked in strong acid to remove impurities and then filled with glue.

C-grade jade is jade that has been artificially dyed. Color is artificially added to the originally colorless jade. Its color is fake, and it is also a fake.

D-grade jade is made by misrepresenting other jades as jadeite and sold as such.

In fact, most of the finished products currently sold on the market are B-grade and C-grade products, which are mainly sold to bargain-hunting novices. The price of real A-grade products is still very high.

As jade counterfeiting technology becomes more and more advanced, various counterfeiting methods such as glue injection, acid washing, adding dyes, and polishing are used. With only the cost of a breakfast, many novices can be deceived into buying fake jade worth thousands of yuan. Some realistic B-grade jadeite is difficult to distinguish even by experienced hands.

Since the chance of successful mining of natural jade is very low, some vendors choose to artificially inject pigments in order to increase the color and gloss of jade, which is the C goods I mentioned above. Such jade may cause certain effects on the body if worn for a long time!

Another thing is that some businesses have become very industrialized in carving because it saves time and effort. However, although such carvings have large sales, they have lost the spirituality that jade should have. The carvings are wooden and dull and have no aesthetic appeal at all. These are all despised by traditional craftsmen! Therefore, in this industry, real jade has real prices. Don’t believe that you can buy a high ice bracelet for a few hundred dollars. If jade is really worthless, there would not be the current market.

Many friends still don’t quite understand what A-grade jade means specifically, and some even use the name given to A-grade jade in other industries to look at A-grade jade (A-grade in shoes represents high-quality imitations and inferior products). In fact, in the jade industry, A-grade jade is synonymous with natural and pure.

"A-grade jadeite" does not refer to the most valuable jadeite, nor the most beautiful jadeite, but rather to natural jadeite.
After all, high-quality natural jade is quite expensive, so some unscrupulous merchants soak poor quality jade in strong acid to remove impurities, and then fill it with glue. This jade is called B-grade jade, also known as "shower jade."

What's even worse is that there are jades that have been acid-washed, filled, and colored. This kind of jade is extremely harmful.
Finally, there are some stones that look similar to jadeite to impersonate jadeite, mainly including: water jade, chalcedony, aventurine, green agate, etc. We call these D goods.

So how do you tell whether it is true or false? I have compiled some of the most commonly used methods

Fake features:

1. Tap the jade gently; fake jade will have a muffled sound.

2. Look at the color roots: fake jade has evenly distributed color roots.

3. Check the internal cleanliness: Fake jade has no fibrous crystals inside and appears perfect without any flaws.

If it is natural A-grade jadeite, it will have the following characteristics:

1. The reflection of the cleavage surface of the jadeite mineral on the surface of “fly wing” jadeite.

2. "Orange peel effect" The surface of jade is similar to the characteristics of orange peel.

3. “Cotton” refers to the cotton-like substance inside jade.

4. "Impurities" Natural jade is bound to contain some impurities.

5. “Gloss” tends to be glassy.

6. "Color" The color distribution is uneven, the transition is natural, and there are color roots.

The above tricks can deal with some low-quality counterfeit jadeite, but if you encounter a jadeite fake that is made with superb counterfeiting technology, most people will still be fooled. Therefore, when buying jadeite, you must remember to look more and buy less. If necessary, you must take it for re-inspection. You must bring the certificate and check it on the official website to be completely relieved! !
