Jade was discovered by the Chinese. For hundreds of years, people of all ethnic groups in western Yunnan went through untold hardships to introduce jade to the inland and coastal areas. They also paid the price of blood and lives to finally introduce jade to the world, making jade art shine. Ever since jadeite went global and became part of the world's precious jewelry trade, its price has skyrocketed. Among all precious gems, only jadeite's price has not been affected by the world economy. Since the mid-1980s, the price of top-grade jadeite has skyrocketed nearly three thousand times and is still on the rise. There are many reasons for this, mainly the deepening of people's understanding of jadeite and the decreasing availability of top-grade jadeite as the economy and society develop. However, as the status and price of jadeite rise, more and more artificially processed jadeite products are being sold as high-end jadeite in order to make huge profits. At this time, you need to master some methods of identifying jadeite to avoid being blindly confused and deceived when purchasing. How to identify A, B and C grade jadeite: How to identify A grade jadeite: A grade jadeite means jadeite that has not undergone any artificial chemical treatment, which means it is purely natural and has the potential to maintain and appreciate in value. B-grade jade is a product made from low-grade jade that has been optimized through artificial chemical treatment. The impurities and black spots in the jade have been removed by acid washing, making the jade look clean and free of impurities. However, the structure of the jade has been destroyed and it has no value. C-grade jade is artificially dyed based on B-grade jade and is also an inferior product. How to identify C-grade jadeite: The difference between C-grade jadeite and B-grade jadeite is that C-grade jadeite has the problem of changing color. It is often dyed green and purple. Under strong light, you can see the boundary between the color and the crystal particles. The color on the surface of the jadeite is distributed along a silk screen pattern, and there is no color root. The jadeite texture of jadeite, also known as "fly wings", is one of the identification methods of jadeite. It is particularly obvious when the grains that make up jadeite are coarse. If the particles that make up the jade are very small, the "emerald quality" is rare. For example: the old mine glass-type jadeite, the "jade nature" is difficult to see with the naked eye. After artificial treatment, no "fly wings" are visible on the jadeite. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
