What causes the color of jade to fade or disappear?

With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are beginning to like jade, especially jade bracelets, which our female friends are even more fond of.

For some jade, its original color will fade or even disappear over time, especially those spring-colored bracelets with poor quality, which are commonly seen in glutinous and bean-type jade.

People buy such jade bracelets just for that touch of spring color, but after wearing it for a while, the spring color disappears. It is very incomprehensible. Did they buy fake jade? In fact, this is what is called "color run" in jade. After wearing it for a period of time, the color gradually disappears. This situation is not uncommon, but it does not mean that it is a fake.

There is a kind of pure natural jade, which has a poor texture, a short production time, and a loose structure. We call it new jade. After polishing and waxing, the newly processed product is still very bright and colorful. After a long time, the wax on the surface evaporates and wears off, and the internal structure is slowly revealed, which will easily fade under the invasion of the external environment.

Therefore, when purchasing jadeite, you should pay more attention to whether the jadeite comes from a new mine or an old mine, because the material with old enough water quality has a dense texture and structure, and such problems will not occur. Even if the surface is scratched, it will be as bright as new once polished. But friends who wear jade should remember not to let jade come into contact with high temperature, alcohol, etc. for a long time in life. When not worn for a long time, please be sure to put a small cup of water in the storage space or ensure that the environment is not too dry.
