How to identify whether jadeite is genuine? The most direct identification methods are here!

Nowadays, jade is becoming more and more popular among people due to its novel styles and rich colors. Therefore, the jade consumer market is very lively.

However, in order to make more money, some businessmen will inevitably sell inferior products as good ones and deceive consumers.

Today, I will show you how to identify A-grade jadeite!

1. Look at the color root of jadeite

The so-called color roots are some obvious green strips or dots we can see in jade, which gradually transition into a lighter color.

Then, these obvious green strips or dots are the color roots of jadeite.

The color of A-grade jade pendants is natural and the outline is very clear.

The color roots of the processed jade pendant are not clear, and there are messy spots inside, which does not look good.

2. Listen to the timbre of jadeite

To identify jadeite, we can listen to the sound jadeite makes. For example, for a jadeite bracelet, first tie the jadeite bracelet with a thin wire and hang it in the air, and then tap the jadeite bracelet lightly with an object such as a glass rod.

The sound of natural jade is crisp; while the sound of fake jade is very dull and not crisp enough.

When using this method, we must pay attention to the strength.

3. Weighing the Jadeite with Your Hands

A-grade jade has a high density and specific gravity, so it will feel heavy when you weigh it in your hand.

Fake jade generally has a lower density than grade A jade.

4. Check the jade certificate

The A-grade jadeite for sale all comes with an appraisal certificate, which records in great detail a series of data including the jadeite's origin, weight, hardness, etc.

This kind of certificate is issued by an authoritative certification agency, so you can identify jadeite based on the appraisal certificate.

However, certificates can also be forged. There is a jade number in the jade certificate, and we can check it on the official website.

Check the certificate stamp, the signatures of the appraiser and reviewer, and whether the appraisal results and various numerical values ​​are correct.

In fact, in recent years, the technology of counterfeiting has become more and more realistic.

Apart from looking at the certificate, other methods of identifying jadeite are not rigorous enough, so it is recommended that you take the jadeite to a professional appraisal agency for testing.
