The best way to maintain jadeite and common sense of jadeite maintenance

How to maintain red and yellow jadeite? The sweat discharged by the human body contains salt, volatile fatty acids, urea, etc. These things will slowly erode the surface of jade, causing damage to the jade. We should try to reduce the erosion of jade by sweat.

1. Avoid sweat oil

Because the sweat discharged by the human body contains salt, volatile fatty acids, urea, etc., these things will slowly erode the surface of the jade, causing damage to the jade, thereby destroying the luminosity and luster of the jade, making the originally bright and beautiful jade become dull.

2. Avoid collision

Jade has a very high hardness, but it is also very brittle. The more precious something is, the more fragile it tends to be, which makes people feel pity for it. The same is true for jade, which is very delicate and cannot be touched. Jadeite that has been hit may seem to be intact, but in fact the molecular structure within the surface has been damaged, and sometimes dark cracks may appear. Although these are not easy to see with the naked eye, they can be clearly seen under a magnifying glass. Once damaged, its value and perfection will be greatly reduced. When collecting jadeite, place it in a jewelry box with a soft texture. If you put more than two pieces of jadeite jewelry, wrap them separately with soft materials such as velvet to minimize damage to the jadeite.

3. Avoid pollution and chemicals

Jade is like a woman's face, cleaning is very important because all kinds of dirt left after use may contain alkaline or acidic substances, which will contaminate the surface of jade. After each wearing, remember to wipe it with a clean and soft white cloth. It is not suitable to use dyed cloth. You can also use clean water and lukewarm water to clean jade. First, soak the jade in water for about 30 minutes, then gently scrub the jade inlays with a small brush, and finally use soft paper to absorb the moisture. And be sure to pay attention not to rinse the jade directly under the faucet. In addition, jade pieces inlaid with diamonds or gemstones should only be wiped with a clean white cloth.

Chemical agents can also cause certain damage to jade, such as various detergents, soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, hairdressing agents, etc., which can cause damage to jade. If it is accidentally stained, it should be wiped off in time to prevent it from causing damage to the jade.

4. Avoid exposure to the sun

When jade is exposed to high temperatures, the size of jade molecules will increase, the jade quality will change, and the texture of jade will be affected. Likewise, jade should not be exposed to steam, let alone boiling water.
