How to distinguish jade (four common identification methods of jade)

Therefore, for those who love jade, identifying jade is a very important ability. There are many kinds of jade materials in the market, and their quality and characteristics are also different. Those who have the ability to identify jadeite can find leaks, while those who don't understand can buy losses and be cheated.

So how should we identify the authenticity of jadeite?

Learning to identify jade can help you choose a good piece of jade. This truth is too profound for laymen to understand, so in order to better learn how to identify jade, I will teach you a few general tips for jade identification!

Method 1: color discrimination First of all, how to distinguish the quality of a piece of jade depends on its color. No matter what natural jade is, its color is natural and evenly distributed. For dyed jadeite, the color is gorgeous and looks unnatural.

Method 2: Touching jade has a high density, and different densities will have different feelings. For example, Hetian jade: Hetian jade is denser than ordinary jade and will be heavier. It feels cold and greasy.

Hetian jade is in my hand and feels a little oily. When you push it by hand, you will feel that the oil is pushed away and there is some resistance. Fake jade does not have these characteristics, so white people must pay more attention.

Method 3: Observe the light. I believe everyone has been to jewelry stores and jade shops, and have seen jade bracelets or pendants in the shops. When introducing products to everyone, shop assistants sometimes take out flashlights to illuminate jade. This is the third method-observing the light.

If you observe jade in light and sunlight, you will find that the internal structure of jade is natural and orderly, and it looks very comfortable. The arrangement of artificial jade is not so beautiful, and there are obvious artificial traces, and some even have bubbles inside. So everyone should pay attention to the distinction!

Method 4: listen to the sound to identify natural jade, the sound is crisp, the old saying goes, and its sound is melodious. It's no fun to knock fake jade. It is suggested to knock jade with jade, so that the sound will reflect the characteristics of jade itself. Another way is to hang the jade with a rope and hang it in the air. Pay attention to fixing the two ends, or the jade will fall, and then tap it gently with another piece of jade.
