Don’t know how to buy jadeite? Five words to teach you how to choose good jadeite!

【Five key points for purchasing jadeite】

1. Color

The first thing we look at when we look at jade is its color. So what color is the best? Currently, the most popular and best quality color in jade is bright green, similar to emerald green. Although the color should be as dark as possible, it should not appear too dark.

2. Shape

After the color, the next thing to consider is the shape of the jade. The size and thickness of the shape have a great relationship with its value. Generally speaking, the larger and thicker the jade, the more valuable it is. Of course, when choosing jade, we should also pay attention to the appearance of jade. Different shapes have different meanings. Just choose one that suits you.

3. Transparent

Next, we should pay attention to the transparency of jade. Transparency is related to the quality of jade. The higher the transparency, the better the quality, and the more valuable the jade is. Transparent jade appears more spiritual, while opaque jade appears dull and lacks vitality, so naturally you should choose the more transparent one.

4. Knock

The quality of jade can be judged by knocking it. Relatively speaking, the better the jade, the crisper the sound. If there are some flaws in the jade, the sound will be different. For example, if there are cracks inside the jade or it is hollow, the sound heard when you knock it will be hollow.

5. Photo

Finally, be sure to illuminate the jade with a flashlight. Under transparent light, you can see many flaws in the jade, which can help you reasonably evaluate the value of the jade!

[Fake jade, identification techniques]

1. Glue-injected jadeite

Some jadeite with poor quality, poor water quality and cracks are usually counterfeited by using the acid-washing and glue-injection techniques. If you observe this type of jade confidently, you can see that the surface has bumpy acid etching marks. Under a magnifying glass, you can see that the internal structure of the jade is relatively loose, and there are even some small bubbles.

2. Dyed Jade

Jade dyeing is used to dye jade with poor color into jade with brighter color. The color of this type of jade will be exaggerated and unnatural; and when observed under a magnifying glass, the color roots of the jade will appear thread-like, the transition will be unnatural, and the color will float from the outside; and the sound will be dull when the jade is knocked.

【Identify jadeite and identify whether it is real or fake】

01. Look at the price

02. Look at the logo

When purchasing jadeite, there will usually be a label next to the jadeite, which will have some relevant data about the jadeite, such as name, weight, water quality, etc., so these labels are also a way for us to distinguish jadeite.

03. Check the certificate
