The fundamental reason for the brightness of garnet bracelets is quality: the best-looking garnet bracelet has no ice crack, and there are few defects and sundries. The beads themselves are all crystal, and the glass body is translucent. Fine particles, human secretions, water vapor, etc. The outside can't get into the inside of the hand beads at all, so it won't get dirty when worn at ordinary times. The contact and friction between beads and skin is a good polishing, and the more you wear it, the brighter it becomes. If there is dirt, you can use hand sanitizer and detergent to clean it without causing any damage to the garnet bracelet beads.
Garnet bracelets with different products can be divided into three types: 1. The beads are translucent with few internal defects, but there are many ice cracks. This garnet bracelet is very bright as soon as it is bought back. However, due to the existence of ice cracks, external fine particles, human secretions, water vapor and so on. Enter the beads along the cracks and precipitate. When the temperature changes, it will expand with heat and contract with cold, forming ice.
2, the beads are not very bright, there are many internal flaws, and there is no ice crack, because there are impurities in the garnet when it is formed, and no matter how it is cleaned, it will not improve. Without ice crack, external dirt cannot enter garnet beads, and the transparency will not change.
3. The beads are opaque, and there are many flaws and ice cracks inside. This kind of garnet is getting dirtier and dirtier, and the ice crack is getting worse. Even if washed with the strongest detergent, it will not brighten.
You should buy top-quality garnet, which is always bright: from a health point of view: Garnets with ice cracks basically have glue injection residue. When processing, in order to prevent the ice crack from intensifying, it is usually fixed by injecting glue, and there is glue residue at the ice crack. It's definitely bad for your health to wear it close to your body and touch your body frequently.
From the perspective of life attitude: at present, everyone yearns for a high-quality life, which is also a life attitude worth promoting. Since we have chosen a more textured garnet bracelet, we should advocate a positive outlook on values and pursue better things.
From the perspective of accessories aesthetics, the top garnet bracelet can enhance personal taste image and enhance vitality.
From the point of view of collection and preservation: top-quality garnet bracelets, few in quantity, more in preservation.
How to choose a bright (top quality) garnet bead bracelet: A good quality garnet bracelet should be comprehensively considered from garnet color, purity (including ice crack, defective black spots, cleanliness and other indicators), bead size, workmanship, special optical effects and so on;
1, color: the colors of garnet beads bracelets are wine red, wine red rose, orange red, rose red and rose purple, and the prices are from low to high on the premise of the same quality. Note: The same garnet bead bracelet shows different colors under different light. As shown in the figure:
2. Clarity: The clarity of garnet beads should be measured by indicators such as ice crack, defective black spots and clarity.
Ice crack: Most garnet bead bracelets have ice cracks. When other indicators are the same, the fewer ice cracks, the higher the value, and the highest value when there is no ice crack. Of course, the output of garnet without ice cracks is extremely rare, so the price is very high. Some merchants say that "all natural garnets have ice cracks", which is wrong. Top garnet has no ice cracks.
Defect black spots: Strictly speaking, natural garnet will have defect black spots more or less, and the top quality is almost invisible to the naked eye and extremely small. The more defect black spots, the lower the value. As shown in the figure:
Clarity: This indicator is difficult to grasp. Some beads look like no ice cracks and no obvious flaws, but they feel foggy. Compared with clear and clean beads, foggy beads have a slightly lower value. This is the feeling of contrast between Brazilian purple teeth and Indian purple teeth. The value of Brazilian Ardisia crenata root is 2-4 times that of Yingzi duck. As shown in the figure:

How to check the purity of garnet bead bracelet? Brother Zifan gives you a little trick:
With the help of the mobile phone flash, first turn on the mobile phone flash and spread 2-3 layers of napkins to prevent the eyes from being damaged by too strong light, and at the same time, you can see more clearly, and the ice cracks inside the garnet can be seen at a glance.
The following two are the top garnet bead bracelets seen under the flash:
Garnet with ice cracks and defects is like this:
3. Size: On the premise of the same quality, the larger the beads, the higher the price per gram. For example, top-grade rose garnet (purple tooth black), the price of 4 mm beads is per gram 10 yuan, and the total value of 260 four turns is about 26 grams, so the price of 4.5 mm beads with the same quality and color is per gram 15 yuan. The bigger the beads, the higher the price per gram. As shown in the figure:
4. Workmanship: Workmanship is mainly reflected in the roundness of the beads, the perfection of the epidermis, the reticle hole, the round beads, the perfection of the epidermis, the almost pit, the cut surface and so on. And the reticle orifice does not crack, and it is polished just right. As shown in the figure:
5. Special optical effect: mainly refers to starlight effect. Four or six starlight garnet beads are naturally more valuable. You need strong light to find it. More common in garnet beads of wine red series.
Ps: There are many fake garnets on the market now. You can ask for an appraisal certificate issued by a formal appraisal institution (there is also a cottage version of the appraisal certificate now).
