There are certain methods to maintain jadeite. Are you using the right methods?

These maintenance methods may ruin your jade

“People nurture jade, and jade nurtures people.” If we want our jade to have the effect of nurturing people, we must first nurture the jade well.

Often times, not knowing how to maintain jade will have the opposite effect. The following methods will not only fail to maintain the jade, but will cause the jade to depreciate, and in serious cases will directly ruin a good piece of jade.

Wrap it up and put it away, I don't want to wear it

Jade products are usually not cheap, especially those with good quality and color, which are very expensive.

Therefore, many people are reluctant to wear their beloved jade after buying it, always worrying that it will be damaged by bumps and scratches. Especially some elders, although they are very happy to receive jadeite from their younger generations as a token of filial piety, they are also afraid of accidentally knocking the jadeite as they are used to saving money, which not only wastes the younger generations’ filial piety, but also causes loss of money, so they will put the jadeite away and not wear it.

However, only jadeite that is worn close to the body will “come alive the more you wear it.” After being nourished by people, jadeite will not only become more and more transparent, but also more spiritual.

However, jadeite that has been kept in a box for many years will easily lose its water content. Jadeite that was full of water at first will become dry and depreciate.

Purifying Jade with Sunlight

People who like crystals know that gemstones with strong energy need to be "cleansed" regularly in order to exert their effectiveness, and one of the purification methods is sunlight purification.

As the name suggests, sunlight purification is to place the crystal under natural light for a period of time. After the crystal absorbs the sunlight, it will become more transparent.

Some people think that jade needs to be purified when worn every day. If you want to purify jade, natural light is definitely not possible, because jade is most afraid of being exposed to the sun. High temperature will accelerate the evaporation of moisture in jade, making the jade dry, ugly, and lose its former luster.

The refrigerator can make the jade become older

There was once a rumor on the Internet: if you put jade in the refrigerator and freeze it, the internal structure of the jade will become compact and the jade will become older. The old or new nature of jade is determined by how transparent it becomes. This folk remedy cannot be changed by any later work.

On the contrary, sudden temperature changes have a huge impact on jade. If you put jade directly into the refrigerator, it will at least affect its internal structure and cause cracks in it. At worst, it will cause the jade to crack directly. Similar cases have occurred in the news before.

Use a small steel brush or knife to clean stains from jadeite

Jade maintenance must of course include cleaning. Jade stained with stains not only looks gray, but even greasy. Over time, the stains may penetrate into the interior of the jade. Therefore, if the jade is stained with heavy stains, we must clean it in time. However, if we use a small steel brush directly to brush it, it is easy to make the jade become stained, which is not worth the loss.

Therefore, maintaining jade also requires methods and skills. You can’t just rely on your imagination to maintain it. Follow the editor and he will continue to teach you jade skills.
