With the development of the economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, some luxury goods such as jade and jewelry have also begun to enter people’s daily lives. Jade not only has a decorative effect, but also is worth collecting, so it is deeply loved by people. Ice jade, with its appearance like ice and water, is particularly popular. Because of this, there are also many counterfeit and inferior ice jadeite products on the market. However, the methods we know for identifying ice jadeite are too professional and difficult to operate. Today, the editor will introduce several simple and easy methods. By mastering these methods, you can identify the authenticity of ice jadeite based on your intuition. Firstly, we can use our own vision to see and observe jade with our eyes. Natural ice jadeite looks like ice cubes gradually turning into water, crystal clear and delicate, but imitation ice jadeite looks cloudy and dull. Although B-grade and C-grade jadeite appear glossy, they have lost water due to chemical treatment, making them appear dry and dry. Upon closer inspection, one can also see that the interior is filled with mesh patterns, which are left behind by chemical erosion.
2. When we touch natural ice jade with our hands, there will be a smooth, delicate, and cool feeling, but imitations of ice jade will not give us this feeling. However, B-grade and C-grade ice jadeite lose moisture during processing, leaving only a dry feeling to the touch, just like a person getting older and wrinkles, while an 18-year-old girl’s cheeks are very smooth.
4. As we all know, natural jadeite has a high density. When weighing natural ice jade by hand, one can feel a heavy feeling. However, B-grade and C-grade jadeite undergo post-processing or filling, so they do not have the texture of natural ice jade. The above are some methods for identifying the authenticity of ice jade. It’s easy to distinguish based solely on intuition, isn’t it?
