For the majority of jadeite lovers, learning to distinguish the authenticity of jadeite is undoubtedly a necessary skill. Today, we are fortunate to use the wisdom sharing of "Wen'er Jadeite" to reveal the key points of identifying the authenticity of jadeite. Wen'er, as a disseminator of jadeite knowledge, will lead us into the fascinating world of jadeite in an easy-to-understand way.
Jadeite, as a precious jade, has been loved by people since ancient times. Not only does it have a hard physical nature, but it also has a colorful appearance, and it is often used to make various jewelry and ornaments. However, with the increase of jadeite in the market, imitations are also emerging in an endless stream, which brings a lot of challenges to distinguish authenticity.
First of all, we must know that jadeite can be divided into natural jadeite, A goods, B goods and C goods according to authenticity. Goods A are pure natural products that have not been artificially treated, goods B are jadeite that have been pickled and greased, and goods C are dyed. In addition, there are fake jadeites imitated from low-grade jade or synthetic materials. Below, let's learn some basic ways to identify the authenticity of jadeite according to Wen'er's guidance.
1.Observe the color.
The color of real jadeite is natural, soft, and oily under the light, and the color distribution may also be uneven, with gradients or mottled phenomena. Fake jadeite is often too bright or uniform in color, lacking a natural sense of warmth.
2.Check for light transmission.
Placing jadeite in the light, real jadeite can see delicate texture and luster when transmitting light, while fake jadeite may not transmit light well, look cloudy or have an obvious artificial feeling.
3.Feel the texture.
True jadeite is hard and dense in texture, with a smooth and delicate surface. Touching the surface of the jadeite with your fingers should give you a cool feeling. If it feels slippery or sticky to the touch, it is likely to be chemically treated or fake.
4.Use a magnifying glass.
Using a 10x magnifying glass, you can observe the internal structure of jadeite, which has natural fine mineral fibers and gas-liquid inclusions. Fake jadeite, on the other hand, may have no fibrous structure at all, or air bubbles and unnatural cracks may be visible.
5.With the help of professional instruments.
There are also professional identification instruments on the market, such as spectrometers and microscopes, which can help identify minerals in jadeite and whether there are traces of artificial treatment.
In addition to the above methods, establishing a partnership with a reputable merchant or seeking help from a professional appraisal agency at the time of purchase is also an effective way to protect yourself from fraud.
It is important to note that no matter how skilled the identification skills are, a great deal of practical experience and expertise is still required. Therefore, for novices who are new to the jadeite industry, understanding professional knowledge and multiple references will be a process of continuous learning and Xi improvement.
