Can a novice identify jadeite just by looking at it with the naked eyes? Let’s see what the experts say

For those who are new to jade, identifying jade cannot rely solely on the naked eyes and feeling to determine the authenticity. That is something only experienced experts dare to do. We should still lay a solid foundation and learn more.

Here are some common ways experts use to identify jadeite. To emphasize: this is the way of experts, and newbies can only learn slowly and get the feel for it.

1. Real jade has weight

Hold the jade in your hand and weigh it a few times. If you feel a heavy pressure, it might be real jade. Don’t ask me what the heavy feeling is. Go home and get a weight to weigh it. Then you will understand!

2. Delicate and cool feel

Real jade feels delicate, smooth, and cool to the touch, and it appears lustrous in the sun. Fake jade is not only rough and dull, but also has bubbles inside. This is why many experts like to look at goods under natural light. When novices choose jade, they should also consider the weather and time. It is best to have a sunny day. 9-11 am and 2-4 pm are both good times. As for the feel, I don't need to explain what it means. Just try to feel the feel even if you have calluses on your hands.

3. Crisp knocking sound

Hang the jade with a thin rope, hold it in the air with your hand, and then tap it gently with hardwood. Real jade will have a crisp sound, while fake jade will sound slightly dull when tapped. Especially for bracelets, many experts like to use this method to identify them. Experienced ones can also use this method to identify the texture of jadeite, etc. The editor has seen many experts like to gently knock two bracelets against each other, especially those made of old pit glass. The sound is so pleasant and makes the whole body feel comfortable, as if the Ren and Du meridians are opened. Is that right? Is that right? Haha!

In short, when it comes to finished jade products, experts have their own ways of doing things, and what novices need to do is to have more contact and learn more. To be honest, it's not that the jade industry is so complicated, but that jade is so charming. No other jade is as colorful and varied as jade. In this industry, only solid accumulation and exploration step by step is the right way. After coming into contact with jade, I feel that other gems have no appeal.
