Three ways to identify jadeite, once you learn them you will be an expert

Jade is generally divided into three grades, A, B, and C. Only Grade A jade is natural jade, which is what people often call the authentic product. Jadeite is one of the most precious varieties of jade, but the market is flooded with various counterfeit jadeites, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Here are three simple identification methods, I hope they can help you.

Step 1:

First, look at the color. Jadeite with particularly bright color and full green is usually very expensive, so you must be especially cautious.

Step 2:

Second, measure the hardness. Jade is very hard and can be used to scratch glass. Glass plate (Mohs hardness 5.5) can generally leave streaks on the glass plate, while the jade itself remains intact. Fake jade is generally softer and cannot scratch glass. (Although this may measure hardness, it will still damage the jade, so I personally do not recommend this attempt.)

Step 3:

Third, listen to the sound. Tap gently with other jade or coins, and listen carefully to the sound of the finished products hitting each other. Natural jade pieces, especially those with good quality, will produce a pure and pleasant "steel sound" when struck. The sound of B-grade jadeite is dull and hoarse.

The identification of jade bracelets is a very complicated issue, so you should summarize it more often. The above methods are for reference only. The identification of specific jade bracelets still depends on the actual situation!
