"Jade"The term is often used in Chinese culture to praise the texture, texture, or value of things. White jade is flawless, jade is flawless, these words and sentences that praise women's delicate or personality quality are enough to see the Chinese down-to-earth jade culture. In the world of jewelry, jade is a general term that refers to all the minerals that can be used to make jewelry or carved into various objects.
Regarding the quality and authenticity of jade, there are some basic methods that can be provided to us for reference:
1.Look: First of all, we have to learn to look at colors. Most jade contains a variety of colors, such as green, red, yellow, white, etc., which are common in jadeite. Among them, green jadeite is the most praised, because it is the embodiment of its natural properties. If the color is too bright, or too monolithic, you need to be wary of whether it is a dyed stone.
2.Touch: Real jade has a unique touch, that is, it is cool and smooth. Some stones that are too rough and glutinous, or too smooth and moist, may not be real jade, but artificial pseudo-stones. In addition, the hardness of real jade is also relatively large, and it is not easy to scratch and crack.
3.Knock: When we use jade to collide with each other, the real jade will make a crisp sound, which is obviously different from ordinary stone or glass and other materials. Pseudo-jade, on the other hand, is mostly due to the bubbles or cracks inside it, and the sound it makes is relatively dull.
4.Transparency: Real jade often has a certain degree of light transmission due to its microstructural properties. For example, jadeite jade or Hetian jade, if you use a light source such as a flashlight to shine from one end, you can see that it has a warm luster like a thin cloud. Pseudo-jade, on the other hand, is often difficult to do this due to its material properties.
The above four points are intended to provide some basic rules for distinguishing between genuine and fake jade, but due to the endless variety of technologies on the market, it is necessary to consider in-depth Xi study and consultation with a professional when buying jade.
Finally, as with all other collectibles, buying precious jade jewelry or artefacts requires us to understand and appreciate its value and beauty, in addition to paying attention to its authenticity. Only a deep love for it can allow us to truly appreciate its inner charm, and at the same time, we can carefully discover all its small flaws and deficiencies in the process of appreciation, and treat every treasure we have with heart.
