Why does jadeite turn yellow? Some jadeite jewelry, worn for a long time or left for a long time, will quietly turn yellow. Could it be that the yellow color of jadeite is a false proof? In fact, the yellowing of jadeite is not all fake, but is related to a variety of factors. So, what is the reason for this? Let's understand the mystery of jadeite turning yellow.
Jadeite turns yellow, and its essence is what we call a "variant". However, not all jadeites will be variant. In general, those jadeites that are less dense and less resistant to wear and tear are called "tender seeds", and they are more prone to variety. The structure of the tender seeds is loose, and the liquid adsorbate between the grain gaps is easy to volatilize, resulting in the drying of the water head and the phenomenon of yellowing. Especially for the oil green jadeite, the yellowing phenomenon is more obvious, starting from the edge of the yellowing, dry, and eventually the whole jadeite will become obvious.
In addition, there are cases where it is easy to mistake it for a variant. For example, jadeite that has been chemically treated with B, C, and B C has already become very loose. After long-term wear, the color will naturally change.
So, what to do with yellowing jadeite? First of all, we can use an ultrasonic cleaner for a thorough cleaning. In addition, the bracelet can also be covered with a layer of protective white wax after cleaning. There are two ways to wax: one is to heat and melt the wax, put the bracelet in it for 2 minutes, pick it up, and wipe it evenly with a dry cloth; The second is to grind the solid wax and put it on the surface of the jadeite, and then use a hair dryer to blow it and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth. (You can go to a professional to operate more securely).
In general, the yellowing of jadeite is not all proof of fakes. On the basis of understanding the cause of yellowing, we can take corresponding measures to deal with it. Whether it is washed or waxed, it can give the jadeite its former glory. Of course, for friends who buy jadeite, it is more reliable to choose jadeite with tight texture and strong wear resistance to avoid variants in the future.
