There is a small pit on the jade bracelet. The first possibility is that the impurity of jade itself, commonly known as trachoma, contains sand-like small particles, resulting in uneven surface after carving. The second is man-made collision. Many jadeites have to go through many processes in production, and some bumps may occur in the middle, resulting in scratches or dark cracks on the surface.

There is a circular symmetrical pit in the middle of the front of the jade pendant, which is caused by processing. Usually it is necessary to punch holes, but later the situation was abandoned.

Whether there is a small pit on the surface of the newly bought jade bracelet is a flaw depends on whether the pit is naturally formed or caused by post-processing.

Usually, according to the creativity and the carving skill of the master, we try our best to avoid cracks and cover up the defects with clever color carving.

What are the scratches and dots on the surface of the jade pendant?

1. The reason why the jade bracelet is scratched is because the surface of the bracelet is damaged by external forces (such as knocking). Scratches are not the same as cracks. Cracks are affected by jadeite itself, and there is a risk of fracture, which can only be solved by inserting metal. The crack of the jade bracelet is the damage to the jade surface.

Waxing can make the jade surface smoother and feel more delicate, so under normal circumstances, slight scratches can be filled with wax. We just need to give jadeite to professionals.
