Unique charm of natural garnet bracelet

First: Look at the weight. No matter where the garnet bracelet is made, its density is higher than that of ordinary crystal. You can cut pearls, weigh five pearls, and then weigh five other kinds of crystal pearls (agate, white crystal, amethyst and topaz can be used). Comparing the two data, the real garnet bracelet is obviously heavier than ordinary crystal, and the price difference is generally above 10%. Pay attention to the same size of beads when weighing.

Second: scratch the glass. Garnet is very hard and it is easy to leave marks on the glass. If you can't even open the glass, it must be a fake.

Third: look at impurities. Natural garnet bracelets are full of cotton wool, and basically have inclusions such as preserved eggs and pine flowers, which can be seen clearly with a flashlight. Pure substances are very scarce. If you encounter hundreds or even dozens of clean and transparent garnets, you must be vigilant. The probability of artificial synthesis is very high!

Fourth: touch it. Natural garnet has a greasy feeling similar to Hetian jade, which is much warmer than ordinary crystal.

Fifth, the above methods are still unable to identify the authenticity of garnet, and things are still expensive. Master Zhu suggested that you go to a professional appraisal institution for appraisal. If you don't know where to go for appraisal, please browse the complete works of national jewelry appraisal institutions.

Natural garnet is rich in color, and the common varieties are ranked by value: rose red >; Wine red > maroon > brownish black. Light transparent wine red is the top grade, while dark opaque wine is cheaper. Some roses are reddish, some are purple, and the obvious purple is the top grade. Of course, in addition to color, the amount of impurities is also an important factor affecting the price. Here are some pictures to make you see more intuitively.
