Jade turns yellow after being worn for a long time. Does this mean that jade also has a shelf life?

We often say: Jade nourishes people, and people nourish jade; in everyone's perception, jade should become more smooth and translucent, and more beautiful the more you wear it, right?

But recently a jade friend started to worry. The quality of his jade was obviously very good when he bought it, but after wearing it for a long time, it did not become greener but turned yellow instead. What's going on?

Could it be that there is something wrong with my body? Is discoloration bad for your health? Could it be that even jade has a shelf life now?

Don't worry!

This situation is often a mutation of jadeite.

What are the varieties of jade?

If jade is a variant, it is very easy to see, and the main manifestations are as follows: the gloss becomes worse, it becomes dry, yellowing, the green becomes old, and finally it turns black.

Poor gloss and yellowing

However, I can tell you clearly that for natural jade, variation is a normal natural phenomenon . It is a phenomenon in which the appearance changes from good to worse, and it has no special effect on the human body.

Don’t scare yourself and be afraid that there is something wrong with your health when you see your jade bracelet turning yellow.

Jade is a kind of jade that likes moisture but not dryness. Just like women need the nourishment of water, jade also needs proper water replenishment.

If you frequently expose your beloved baby to strong acids and alkalis, high temperatures and exposure to the sun, or excessive dryness, it will naturally accelerate the oxidation of its surface.

For jadeite of “tender quality” (with relatively small density of crystal particles), the liquid adsorbents in the internal crystal gaps are easier to evaporate, making it more likely to dry out, age, turn yellow and gray, which is what we call a variant.

Old jade, on the other hand, has a finer structure, is more wear-resistant and durable, and is not easy to mutate.

This is one of the reasons why it is often said that "laymen look at the color, experts look at the quality". Before choosing the color, look at the quality first. Old jade will basically not change, while jade of very new quality will easily turn yellow and gray if not properly maintained.

The bottom of the oily green jadeite has already shown signs of yellowing

In addition to the "tender" jade that is easy to mutate, oily green is a more common color among jade mutations. Generally, the edges will start to turn yellow and dry, and gradually become more obvious in the whole piece.
