Optimization of Jade and Identification of True and Fake Jade

As the saying goes, "Gold has a price but jade is priceless." The high value of jade is obvious to all. Jade sold on the market can easily cost hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. We also often see various priceless jade jewelry in various film and television dramas. Even so, high-quality jade is still "hard to find" today.

In addition to high prices and small quantities, the current jade market is also a mixed bag. Some newbies in the industry are especially vulnerable and often get cheated. Therefore, learning to identify the authenticity of jade has become an increasingly prominent issue.

In fact, it is easy to say how to identify jade, but it is often difficult to do it in reality. We can learn methods of identifying jade from various channels, but even so, it cannot resist the continuous improvement of the level of jade counterfeiting. Unless you have trained a pair of eyes to distinguish real and fake jade after a long period of practice and exploration, it is difficult to make accurate identification. Today we will teach you a few simple tips:

Tips for Identifying Jadeite

1. Jade is a very hard jade, with a hardness that many jades in nature cannot reach. Therefore, when it collides with other jades, it is not jade that will be damaged. Based on this, you can choose to scratch the jade with a hard object. If it leaves a mark, it means it is fake jade. If there is no scratch, it means it is authentic jade. Since this method may damage the jade, you must obtain permission from the seller before operating to avoid unnecessary trouble.

2. Collide two jades against each other. If the sound produced is very crisp, it means that the jade is authentic. Otherwise, if the sound is dull and weak, it means that the jade is fake. If it is a single jadeite, you can hang it up with a rope, and then gently tap the jadeite with agate to judge it.

3. Jade is a natural jade, so it is inevitable that there are flaws or black spots. Even high-end jade will have more or less imperfections. Therefore, jade with flaws such as cracks, spots, and black spots is normal. On the contrary, jade that looks very flawless but the price is not high is very likely to be B or C goods that have been artificially processed. Therefore, we can use tools such as magnifying glasses and flashlights to observe carefully before deciding whether to buy.

4. There are many raw materials for artificial jade, such as some invaluable Malaysian jade, Xiuyan jade and even glass. They are all relatively light in weight, while natural jade is heavier. We can weigh jade of the same size in our hands. The lighter ones are usually fake jade. Natural jade will feel heavy in your hand, and you can clearly feel the weight of the jade.

5. Jadeite sold through formal channels has an appraisal certificate, and on it will be the corresponding jadeite photo, weight, density and other characteristics information. This information can also be searched online. If the merchant cannot provide an appraisal certificate when purchasing jadeite, it is very likely that it is fake jadeite. Therefore, when purchasing jadeite, you must remember to ask the seller for it.
