How to nurture jade and retain its spirituality!

Although jade is hard, dense and tough, it is brittle, but in essence it is still very easy to damage, especially some weak links in the surface structure. Long-term collision and friction may damage the smoothness of the surface of jade jewelry. Therefore, when wearing and collecting jade, try not to let it rub against each other. Wrap it up and keep it when not in use, and be careful not to drop it when wearing it.

Sometimes it may look intact on the surface, but in fact, after a collision, the internal structure of the jade has been damaged, and dark lines have appeared. Protecting the integrity of the jade and preventing it from being damaged by collision is only the first step in jade care. How to retain the spirituality of jade and nourish it well is the key. Jade is very sensitive to oil smoke and grease. If it is a high-end item that retains its value, it should not be worn in the kitchen while cooking. Jade should also not come into contact with strong acid solutions, as that will destroy its structure and color.

For daily maintenance of jadeite, you need to wash it with clean water to remove dust and dirt, and then wipe it dry with a clean and soft cloth; when wearing or taking it off, it is best to do it in a safe place such as a sofa or carpet; when wearing jadeite pendants, pay attention to check whether the red rope and necklace are strong, and replace them in time if they are found to be broken.

Regarding the maintenance of jade, some people think that it is best not to wear it when you sweat a lot in the summer. Their reason is that jade cannot come into contact with oil, and oil will seep into jade along the natural gaps of jade and affect the luster of jade. In fact, human sweat is generally weakly alkaline. Such pH will not have an adverse effect on the structure of jade. On the contrary, if worn for a long time, it will play a role in removing scale over time.

When playing with jade, the important thing is to play with it. The chemical properties of jade are very stable, and maintenance is relatively simple and easy. Jade nourishes people, and people nourish jade. The more jade is worn, the more beautiful it becomes. Wearing jade frequently is the best way to maintain it.

Small jade carvings should be played with frequently, so the touch of the fingers on the jade carvings actually has the effect of friction and polishing. Long-term playing will make the jade carvings brighter and brighter.

For small jade pieces such as playthings, pendants, and jade bracelets, it is generally necessary to use a soft cloth or sheepskin to regularly wipe, remove dust, polish, and wear the jade. This will restore the water absorbed on the surface of the jade that was thrown away during polishing, thereby increasing the smoothness of the jade and making it more natural.

For large ornaments, since the grinding and polishing techniques of various manufacturers are different, the surface smoothness and glossiness are also different. Therefore, some jadeite with poor polishing techniques will appear matte or not bright enough after being displayed for a long time. Therefore, dust should be removed frequently. You can wipe it with a soft cloth and gently brush off the dust with a soft bristle brush, or you can wipe it frequently with soft sheepskin.
