The simplest way to identify jadeite, share 3 steps to identify it

Regarding jadeite, as consumers, in addition to being concerned about the price of jadeite, they also care about the authenticity of jadeite. After all, the current jade market is full of mixed goods and fakes are rampant. Even experts may be "caught" if they are not careful. What about ordinary consumers? Since the jade market is so chaotic, is it really impossible to buy jade in the jade market? Of course not. Although there are many fakes in the jade market, there are also many merchants who do business honestly, and there are still many genuine products, as long as you have a pair of discerning eyes to identify them.

Jade in the jade market is much more affordable than that in physical stores of chain brands. Although there are some risks, as long as you master the correct identification methods, it is still easy to distinguish the real from the fake. Next, I will teach you some tips on how to identify the authenticity of jadeite.

Method 1: Observe the inside of jadeite

When it comes to observing jadeite, many people know that identifying jadeite must of course start with looking. However, observing jadeite is not just about looking at it, but about grasping the key points. We all know that jade can be roughly divided into three categories. Grade A jade (natural jade); Grade B jade (glue-injected jade); Grade C jade (dyed jade). Among them, only Grade A jade is real jade, the other two are fake jade that have been chemically treated. Although they are very similar in appearance, there are still differences.

The color inside natural jade has a color root, and the transition between color depth and color intensity appears very natural. The interior of fake jade has no color roots, and the color gives people a feeling of floating on the surface, without the natural feeling of natural jade. In addition to observing the color roots, you can also use a magnifying glass to carefully observe the surface of the jade. The surface of natural jade is very smooth, while the surface of chemically treated fake jade usually has tiny cracks. This is because the chemical solution corrodes the surface of the jade, creating tiny cracks.

Method 2: Compare the weight of jadeite

In addition to the above observation method, comparing the weight of jade is actually one of the ways to identify jade. We all know that the type of an object is related to its volume and density. In the case of the same volume. An object with a higher density will weigh more than an object with a lower density. The density of jade is roughly 3.30-3.36. This density is relatively high compared to other jades. When you hold jade in your hand, you will feel a weighty feeling, which is similar to the feeling of gold. Therefore, when we are identifying the authenticity of jadeite, we can take a piece of real jadeite that is similar in size to the jadeite you want to identify, and place the two pieces of jade in your hands and feel them. If it is fake jadeite, you can feel a very obvious difference.

Method 3: Check the jadeite’s identification certificate

In addition to the above two methods, checking the jade identification certificate is also a method, and it is the safest of many jade identification methods. According to relevant regulations, all jewelry and jade products need to be accompanied by a jewelry appraisal certificate when they are sold, and the appraisal certificate for each piece of jewelry is unique and cannot be reused. Moreover, jadeite identification certificates can only be issued by relevant professional identification institutions. The authority and scientific nature of the test are guaranteed. Therefore, as a consumer, when purchasing jadeite, you can ask the merchant to issue a jadeite identification certificate. And check the authenticity of the information on the appraisal certificate. If the merchant is unable to issue an appraisal certificate, it proves that the jade is likely fake. You should buy carefully at this time.

The above are three small methods to identify the authenticity of jade. These three methods are simple to operate and even ordinary consumers can easily do it. Although the jade market is a mixed bag, as long as we master the correct identification methods. It is not difficult to find real jade.
