Will your jade change color? Actually, you misunderstood.

We love jade because of its bright colors and crystal clearness. However, some people have found that even if it is the same piece of jade, the color seen in different environments may be slightly different. Those who do not understand may think that the jade has changed color, but it is not. Cuihui Jewelry will explain it to you today~

The so-called color change of jade is actually affected by the light source, and is not a quality problem of jade. The color of any object is produced by absorbing certain bands of natural light under natural light. The saying " beauty under the moon , jade under the lamp" means that the color of jade will "change" when exposed to different light sources.

In our jade industry, there is also a saying that jade should not be viewed under a lamp, because different lights will affect the color displayed by jade.

Have you noticed that the lights in the glass cabinets of jewelry counters in shopping malls are always on, whether it is daytime or evening? This is because the color of jade appears brighter under the lights with soft tones. Under stronger light sources, such as sunlight and natural light, the color will also appear to fade.

Therefore, many times the jewelry and jade we buy at the counter always feel different after we take them home. The color-changing effect of the following types of jade will be more obvious.

Violet jade is particularly sensitive to light and has the disadvantage of “dying in the light”. Don’t be scared by the name, it means that violet jade will produce different purple colors under different light sources.

For example, violet jade will appear pink-purple under yellow light and bluish-purple under white light. The whiter the light, the bluer and grayer the color.

When violet jade is under natural light, the light enters the jade and due to the crystal structure characteristics of the jade itself, the light is naturally dispersed inside the jade. As a result, the color of the violet jade in our hands changed and became lighter.

Under natural light, there are still some violet jades that can maintain their fullness, namely the glutinous violet jade and imperial purple jade.

The texture of the glutinous violet jade makes it easier for light to stay. Not only that, the price of glutinous violet jade is also very affordable and can be owned by ordinary people.

Imperial purple jade has very good water quality . It can still maintain its rich purple color and abundant luster under natural light. Its value is naturally very high!

The "Qingshui Green" of Qingshui jade refers to the light and uniform green color that appears throughout the jade product. This light green color of Qingshui jade is more obvious under the light, and is evenly light, but under strong light or natural light, it will be much lighter, and some will almost become colorless.

Because the crystal grains of bean-type jadeite are relatively coarse, when observed under natural light, the green color is unevenly distributed , appearing in dots or clumps, the white cotton wool is also prominent, and the granular feel is quite obvious.

But when it is under soft light , the green color will appear brighter and more uniform, the cotton wool will not be prominent, and the graininess will not be so obvious.

Because the color-changing effect of jade will cause the color of jade to change differently under different light sources, the best light source for appreciating jade is a warm yellow light source. At this time, green will be more attractive and purple will be particularly bright.

However, when purchasing, we must be careful to avoid artificial light sources. It is best to carefully observe the color of the jade under natural light. The color under natural light is closest to the original color of jadeite. If you are purchasing jadeite online, you can ask the merchant to take all-round natural light pictures or videos and carefully observe the color of the jadeite.
