Jade's "Three Taboos and Four Fears", Understand Your Jade

Jade is now almost the "national sweetheart". Everyone loves it and almost everyone owns one. But this situation always happens: two similar pieces of jade are worn by two different jade lovers for several years. One person's jade becomes more beautiful, while the other's becomes cracked or dull. Why is this? Just two words: maintenance.

Jade is known as the "King of Jade" for its exquisite appearance and excellent toughness. Despite this, there are still some taboos about jade, and you should try to avoid them in your life. Next, let’s talk about the “three taboos” and “four fears” of jade maintenance. After reading these, your jade will become more beautiful the more you wear it, and its value will rise sharply.

The "three taboos" of jade maintenance

The "three taboos" are fishy smell, greasy smell and dirty smell.

Jade should not be allowed to smell fishy things, and should not come into contact with objects that have fishy smells. Salty and fishy smells can easily damage the quality of jade.

Jade should not be contaminated. If you polish jade with dirty hands, the soil gate of jadeite will be blocked, and the dust and dirt on the jade texture cannot be removed. Even if you play with it and polish it every day, it will be futile and even counterproductive.

Jade is afraid of oil. Some jade that is buried in the ground is often sticky and greasy because of insufficient ground cover, which prevents its clear light from shining through. Some people who play with jade like to use facial oil, hair oil and other rub-in oils, and some even apply leftover oil on jade, thinking that this will make the jade oily. In fact, these oils prevent the jade from emitting brilliance, making it "closed" and unable to make it warm. Experienced jade connoisseurs may be afraid that the jade will be oiled after playing with it for a long time, so they wash it with hot water or hot tea from time to time to remove the oil and keep it moist.

The "Four Fears" of Jade Maintenance

When it comes to jadeite, people in the industry also have four fears.

One is fear of fire. If jade is often exposed to fire, its color will fade. Fire is different from natural geothermal heat. Jade is steamed by natural geothermal heat for a long time, becoming soft and changing, and then slowly being affected by color.

Second, they are afraid of ice. If jadeite is often in contact with ice, the soil gate will be damaged, the jade texture will become dull and unable to show color, it will not come alive and become "dead color".

The third is the fear of falling. This is a well-known truth.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes "too hard will easily break". Jade with high hardness is more easily damaged. The problem lies in its toughness. Jade has a very high hardness, but at the same time it is rigid enough and very brittle, which directly leads to the jade's inability to withstand being dropped.

Fourth, they are afraid of ginger water. Some people believe that soaking in ginger water can remove fishy smell and odor. Actually, it is not. When jade comes into contact with ginger water, the existing color will become dull and lifeless. If it is soaked for too long, it will even develop pockmarks all over the body. Even if you polish and play with it in the future, it will be difficult to remedy the problem.
