Be careful! These 3 jade "maintenance" methods will make it worse the more you maintain it!

Jade lovers often ask us why the jade they bought was identified as A-grade jade, but after wearing it, it did not become more transparent and brighter, but instead became "uglier". Not only was the color a little yellowish, but there was also a layer of "fog" on the surface. What was going on? Let me explain it to you below:

Jade is known as the "king of jade". Although it is hard and immune to all poisons, it also needs maintenance. Some incorrect maintenance methods can be extremely harmful to it and will deteriorate its texture.

Don't try the following three pitfalls of jade maintenance methods

1. Use soapy water to "degrease" jade

I believe many people know that jade is "averse to oil", so generally you cannot wear jade bracelets when cooking. In order to remove the oil on jade, some friends self-righteously use soap with good degreasing properties to clean jade. What is the result? Small pits and bumps will appear on the surface of the jade, and it will turn yellow and dark, and its luster will gradually fade.

This is mainly because soap contains alkaline chemicals, which will corrode the surface of jade once it comes into contact with it, and will cause the above lesions over time.

Correct cleaning method:

If the jade jewelry is accidentally stained with dust or oil

1. Take a small amount of warm water (without any chemicals)

2. Add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent and soak the jade ring in a bowl. About 30 minutes.

3. Use a soft brush to gently scrub the jade.

4. Rinse with clean water after brushing.

5. Wipe gently with a soft cotton cloth, remember to be gentle.

6. Check whether the inlay is loose. If it is, send it for repair. If not, you are done.

2. Use ultrasonic waves to remove dust from jadeite

With the development of science and technology, there are special ultrasonic cleaning machines for cleaning and dusting many gemstones inlaid with "K gold". They can clean the oil stains and dust inside the inlaid gemstones that cannot be cleaned directly by humans. However, it should be noted that inlaid jade is not suitable for such cleaning methods because ultrasonic waves will interfere with the internal structure of jade, causing minor internal cracks at the very least and even breaking the jade at worst.

3. Put it in the box and don’t want to wear it

Some jade lovers put the jade in the bottom of the box after buying it, and are very careful not to wear it for fear that it will be damaged. Although this can avoid risks, it loses the opportunity of "mutual cultivation between people and jade".

Jade is spiritual. After wearing it, it not only becomes more transparent and beautiful, but it can also ensure peace and protect the owner at all times. If placed in a box for a long time, the moisture of the jade will slowly be lost and it will gradually become dry. Shopping malls that sell jade will place several cups of water on the counters to provide sufficient moisture for the jade.

In fact, the best way to maintain it is to wear it close to the body, so that the jade can be nourished by it. The oiliness of the human body is the best protection for jade. It doesn't matter if you leave it for a short time after cleaning.

Many people have some "little problems" when wearing jade. Let's take a look.

1. Wearing jade to places with strong light

For example, after surfing at the beach, it is best not to wear jade while basking in the sun on the shore. The transparency of jade under the sun will only bring you a temporary sense of satisfaction, but in fact jade should be avoided from high temperature exposure. Strong sunlight and long-term exposure will not only cause jade to lose moisture, but also affect the texture and color of jade. Therefore, try to avoid exposing jadeite to the sun in daily life;

2. Wearing jade while cooking

Now many families have range hoods, but those who don't have range hoods should pay attention. The most taboo for jade is cooking fumes. It is best to take it off first and wear it after cooking.

3. Wear jade first and then change clothes

Friends, if you are wearing inlaid jade, you should pay attention to it when you are wearing clothes or hats, otherwise the clothes or hats will get caught, thus affecting the firmness of the inlaid jade;

4. Wearing jade with other jewelry

In order to show their rich temperament, many people often wear everything on their hands, gold, silver, jade, etc. Although jade has high hardness, it is also limited. If it collides with other jewelry for a long time, fine lines will slowly appear inside, especially jade bracelets.
