In the appreciation and collection of jadeite, in addition to the color, transparency, cracks and other factors of the jadeite itself, there is also an important identification factor is the pulp. Pulp refers to the surface of jadeite after a long time of wearing or storage, jadeite and air for a long time to form a layer of natural luster. This glow looks oily, dynamic and vibrant.
It is not easy to determine whether a string of bracelets is pulped or not, and it requires us to have some basic knowledge and practical experience. Here are a few important judgment factors to answer your questions.
First, observe the surface of the bracelet. The surface of the pulped jadeite bracelet will have a naturally formed luster, which is softer and deeper than that of new jadeite. If it is only new jadeite waxed or artificially polished, then this luster will only be on the surface, and there is no inherent delicacy.
Secondly, through the feel and the naked eye. The surface of the slurry bracelet is not only shiny, but also has a thin film. This film is closely integrated with the texture of the jadeite, smooth and delicate, and not easy to scratch. Often after a long period of friction, this film is more pronounced.
Again, the color change of the jadeite is used to determine whether the toning is made. The color of the pulped jadeite is darker than that of the new jadeite, because the film on the surface of the jadeite can reflect the light inside, making the color darker. If the color is obviously lighter, it may be artificial pulp or fake jadeite.
Finally, the accumulation of experience is also important. Pulped bracelets, each string has its own unique history, and each bead has its natural luster and traces of pulp. Through long-term observation and Xi, we can accumulate experience and even accurately judge the year and ** of the pulp.
Seeing the toning is an important skill for jadeite collectors, not only to prevent buying fakes, but also to better appreciate the history and unique charm of jadeite.
