How much do you know about maintaining jade pendants and jewelry?

If we want jade to nourish our lives, we must first take good care of the jade. Otherwise, if we deteriorate the water content of the jade, we may even directly ruin a good piece of jade!

1. Wrap it up and keep it, don’t wear it

Therefore, many people's maintenance method for jade is to wrap it up and put it away, then don't wear it, just take it out and look at it occasionally.

People think that this is the best way to protect jade, but it is often not. Wrapping it will affect its color and appearance.

When wearing a jade bracelet, to keep the jade clean, you need to frequently clean it with a soft cloth in neutral detergent, wipe dry and then polish with a silk cloth. No wonder the bracelet looks so beautiful sometimes after washing clothes. It turns out that it is dirty. To clean it, you must use a dust-free cloth, dip it in a little detergent and wipe it slowly until the bracelet is clean.

2. Can putting jade in the refrigerator make it older?

There was a rumor on the Internet: If you put jade in the refrigerator to freeze it, the internal structure of the jade will become compact and the jade will become older. Whether the jade is old or new is determined by the site where the material is mined, and it cannot be changed by later work. This method is not feasible and may cause the jade to be frozen.

Jade pendants need to be cleaned after being worn for a long time. So we not only need to learn how to buy jade, but also need to know how to clean jade. Although the small jade is inconspicuous, its cleaning requires great attention. Before cleaning, pour in neutral detergent or shampoo, soak for a while, then slowly scrub it with a toothbrush, rinse it with clean water after removing all the dirt, and then wipe it with a dust-free cloth.

Although jade is harder than gold and silver, jade that looks intact may have lines or small cracks inside, and protecting jade is the most important thing.

3. Soak jade in detergent

Jade will inevitably become a little greasy after being worn for a long time. Because it is worn close to the skin for a long time, the oil secreted by the human body will nourish the jade while also making it dirty. Just pour detergent into clean water, soak the jade in the detergent for a while and then wash it, but don't wash it for too long as this will seriously affect the internal structure of the jade, thus affecting its quality.

4. Use a small brush/knife to clean jade stains

Sometimes, in order to save trouble and to clean thoroughly, some people just use a small brush or even a knife to scrape. Although jade is very hard, such a rough cleaning method can easily scratch the surface of jade. Instead of cleaning and maintaining it, the jade will become a clown face. This is not worth the loss!

Jade certainly needs maintenance, but incorrect maintenance methods will harm the jade, making it lose its value and beauty.
