1, look

Look at the color and transparency. Put the jade bracelet in a bright place. If it is crystal clear, slightly impure and evenly distributed in color, it should be genuine. Because jade is naturally generated, there are some impurities in it, which are very pure, but they are generally priceless and rare.

Look at the polishing. Polishing reflects the technical level of jade bracelets. It is well polished and feels naturally moist and oily. Such a jade bracelet is a rare work.

Looking for cracks. Use a magnifying glass to aim at the front, back and side of the jade bracelet and observe it carefully. Cracks are fatal to jade bracelets, so be sure to look carefully when buying them.

Step 2 listen

Listening to the sound helps to judge the quality of jade bracelets. Hang the jade bracelet in the air with a rope and beat it with agate. It should be a product with a melodious sound like a wind chime, but if the sound is dull and hoarse, it is not necessarily a good product or a genuine product.

Step 3 lick

Gently licking the jade bracelet with the tip of your tongue will make you feel astringent, but not if it is a fake. Although it is unsanitary, it is a good test method.

Step 4 touch

Touch it with your hand, and the real jade bracelet will feel cold. Hold it in your hand for a while. Although it is hot, it still smells cold. If it is a fake, it will only feel hot.

5, dripping water

Dropping water on a jade bracelet is a dewdrop-shaped real thing that won't go away for a long time, and a fake thing that will soon go away.

6. Fire

Wrap a hair tightly around the bracelet and light it with a lighter. If it's genuine, it won't burn out.

7. Friction

When two pieces of jade rub together, it is the real thing that feels delicate and smooth. If it's as slippery as scraping glass, it's probably a fake.

8. Look at the certificate

The merchant is required to issue an appraisal certificate of the jade bracelet. If you are not at ease, you can call the contact number of the appraisal institution above to check it.
