Today I will present to you the “five-word secret” for jade maintenance. As long as you remember it, you can easily maintain your jade.

The "five-word formula" is: avoid, wash, repair, polish, and wipe.

avoid

"Avoid" is easy to understand. Jade is afraid of breaking, high temperature and corrosion, so it is necessary to avoid bumps, high temperatures and corrosion. Although jade is hard in texture, it is common for it to break. So be careful around bumps and bumps. High temperature can easily dry out and deteriorate jade, so it is best to place jade in a cool and humid place. Acids and alkalis will corrode jade, causing its surface to lose its luster and affecting its beauty. Therefore, when the human body sweats, jade should not come into direct contact with it, and jade should not be exposed to liquids containing chemical reagents.

wash

If there is dirt or dust on the surface of the jade, or it has lost water and become dry to a certain extent, then you need to pay attention to the maintenance and cleaning of the jade. Regularly soak and clean the jade with clean water. When cleaning, be careful not to use detergents or even soapy water to avoid erosion of the jade surface. Remember, jade needs to be cleaned regularly whether you are wearing it or not.

Unfortunately, if your jadeite is cracked or broken, affecting its appearance or wearability, what should you do? Perhaps the traditional craft of gold inlaid jade can help you. Under the skillful hands of the craftsmen, the broken jade not only covers up the cracks of the jade, but also cleverly utilizes the fractures to make the jade glow with unique brilliance.

As mentioned before, jadeite should avoid bumps and collisions, so “polishing” it does not mean rubbing it on your hands like polishing a collectible. Instead, it means wearing it regularly so that the oil secreted by human skin can nourish the jadeite. While moisturizing it, it increases the transparency and smoothness of the jade surface and also has a polishing effect. This is what is meant by “nurturing jade with people”.

wipe

When the jade is not being cleaned, it should be wiped frequently with a soft cloth to keep the surface of the jade clean and lubricated.
