How to tell whether jade is authentic? That’s what everyone in the industry thinks!

“Emeralds nest in the South China Sea, male and female pearl trees in the woods…jewelry with charming light, luxuriant brocade quilt.” Jade jewelry is not only a highly sought-after ornamental collectible for modern people, the ancients also had a high level of appreciation for these precious stones.

However, precisely because jade has been of relatively high value and price since ancient times, there are many jade products on the market that are difficult to distinguish between the real and fake. It doesn’t matter. You have Fei Zhong Cui jewelry and I have experience. If you want to know how to distinguish real jade from fake, don’t worry!

Look at the color root:

The color root is a very strong presence in the green color of jadeite, and this strong green will spread around. Natural jade, especially green jade, has color roots.

When observing the color root under the sunlight, the green color in other places will fade or may disappear, but the color root will always be green.

Listen to the sound:

If you have two jades on hand, you can knock them against each other and listen to the sound. The sound of real jade is crisp and ethereal, but the sound of fake jade is mostly dull and muffled. If you only have one piece of jade on hand, you can hang it with a rope and tap it gently with hardwood. The sound of real jade is crisp and pleasant, but the sound of fake jade is mostly dull and muffled.

Weighing weight:

Jadeite, as a representative of hard jade, has a very high density. Generally, people in the industry who are very familiar with jadeite will weigh it up and down in their hands a few times and most of them will feel a sense of pressure. But if it is fake, it will feel light when it falls into the hand, and there will be no obvious feeling of pressure. This method is generally suitable for medium-sized jadeite.

With external aid:

A magnifying glass is not a valuable item and can be bought in shopping malls. For people in the industry, using a magnifying glass to observe the cut surface of jade can also reveal some tricks.

For example, real jade has quite obvious irregular segments on its cut surface, and its internal structure can also be seen. However, fake jade mostly has smooth cuts, and the interior is mostly transparent, with no material structure.

Of course, if you have enough knowledge about jade, you can also check it by appearance, gloss, etc. By the way, the appraisal certificate is also a way to identify the authenticity, so remember to get it when buying!
