The color of jade has “gone”? Let’s learn what “color runaway” of jade means

With careful maintenance, jade will become more and more translucent, and the color inside will spread, which is what people often call the "color growth" phenomenon. On the contrary, if it is not properly maintained, over time, jade will not “grow color” and may even “run color”. So what is jade “running color”?

What is jade “color run”?

Jade "color loss" refers to the phenomenon that after being worn for a period of time, the color of full green jade becomes lighter, leaving only a few strands of green. Jade "color run" is a common phenomenon, especially it is more likely to occur in jade that has been formed for a short time and has a coarse quality. The disappearance of jade color is closely related to the surrounding environment and the maintenance of the wearer. If not properly maintained, jade jewelry will naturally fade and lose its luster, which shows the importance of jade maintenance.

What kind of jade is more likely to "run color"?

As mentioned earlier, the color fade of jade is related to the surrounding environment and maintenance. In addition, it is also closely related to the quality of the jade itself. Bean-type jade is most likely to fade because its structure is loose and not as dense as that of glass-type and ice-type jade. When the surrounding environment is dry and maintenance is not good, bean-type jade will fade more easily.

How to maintain jade to prevent it from losing color?

1. Avoid exposure to sunlight. If jade is exposed to the sun for a long time, its quality will easily deteriorate and its color will easily fade. This is because high concentrations will easily increase the size of the molecules, thus affecting the texture and color of the jade. Jade should be placed in a cool place. You can put a cup of water next to the jade to maintain the humidity of the environment.

2. Avoid contact with chemical reagents. Acidic and alkaline chemical reagents will corrode the surface of jade, such as various alkaline detergents, soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, hairdressing agents, etc. If it is accidentally stained, it should be wiped off and washed in time.

3. Avoid dust and oil pollution as much as possible. Dust and oil will affect the luster of jade. Therefore, if dust and oil adhere to the surface of jade, it is best to rinse it in time. If the dirt is serious, you can gently scrub it with a soft brush.

4. Jade must be cleaned and soaked in water regularly. Maintain the water head of jadeite, and prevent it from drying out due to water loss, which causes the color of jadeite to fade.
