How to distinguish real and fake jade?
Genuine jade has unique characteristics including color, texture and density. You can easily identify real and fake jade through the following methods:
1: Color and texture observation: Real jade usually has rich and bright colors, such as dark green or light green. Its texture is usually fine and natural, with unique lines and spots visible. In contrast, fake stone may appear overly bright or unnatural in color, and the texture may appear harsh or have an obvious pattern.
2: Illuminate with light source: Shine the light source on the jade and observe its transparency and light penetration. Genuine jade usually has a certain degree of transparency, allowing you to see the texture and impurities inside, while pseudo-stone may have lower transparency or a uniform color.
3: Check the density and weight: The density of real jade is usually higher, so it will feel relatively heavy in the hand. You can pick up the jade with your hands and feel its weight. Real stones are generally heavier. In addition, you can use a density meter or buoyancy method to measure the density of jadeite to assist in identifying authenticity.
4: Price and source analysis: Jade is a precious gemstone, and the price is usually higher. If the price of a certain jade is significantly lower than the market price, there may be a risk of forgery. In addition, knowing the origin of jade can also help to identify its authenticity. Jade in some areas is more precious and rare.
5: NGTC certification inquiry: Each of our jade jewelry comes with the certification of China’s National Jewelry and Jade Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (NGTC). You can check the jade certificate to ensure the authenticity of the product by visiting here.
