Make jewelry with attitude, write knowledge of temperature, and store manager Jia Er is only amazing for your moment! Today, Jia Er, a jade appraiser in China, a bachelor's degree winner in gemmology, the second generation inheritor of a jeweler's family, and an expert in jewelry collection, will come to talk to you about the "industry slang" that jade knows.

In the profound culture of China, there are some slang words in all walks of life. Interlaced like a mountain, layman's jargon is like casting pearls before swine, with a puzzled face, while insiders get news at will. Today, I will introduce some industry slang about jade to you. If you don't understand, you will be laughed at!

1, water head

Water head is usually referred to as water for short, and water is transparent, so it can be imagined that it refers to the transparency of jade. Generally speaking, the water head is sufficient and the water head is long, which indicates that the jade is transparent and looks moist. On the contrary, if it is very dry, it is called short head or poor head. In addition, you can also use a few minutes of water to describe the head of jade, use a spotlight (point light source) to illuminate jade, and then observe the depth of light to judge the length of the head. Generally, 3mm depth is divided into one water, 6mm depth is divided into two water, and so on.

2. Price

Many friends will be confused when they hear "Little Three" and "Little Five", which feels like a big deal. In fact, they are not actual prices, but refer to a price range. This jargon is widely used, not only in the jade industry, but also in other industries.

3. Emerald

The quality of jadeite is a key aspect to judge whether jadeite is true or false. What is emerald? Emerald refers to the reflective point on the surface of jadeite, also called "flying wing". Generally, jadeite is emerald, except glass, because it is extremely transparent and can't be seen.

4. Cui Xuan

Xuancui is a fake jade. Its raw material is quartzite or white jade, and then it is artificially colored green. The grade is similar to that of grade C jadeite. At this time, testing with color filter is the best way. You will observe that emeralds are particularly red or crimson, while the real jadeite is still green.

5. goods a, b and C.

Jade A goods: refers to natural jadeite, and its internal structure and color have not changed at all after artificial processing.

Emerald B: It is to soak the low-grade jadeite with strong corrosiveness, dissolve impurities and stains in it, and make it look thorough and bright.

Jade c goods: c goods are pseudo-colored jadeites, and the colors on them are artificially dyed. The color of this jadeite will fade with time.

6. Stiffness and rigidity

Because the jade particles are closely combined, they are very delicate and hard. Through polishing, its light, shape and technology can be perfectly combined. The optical effect produced by the surface refraction of jadeite makes it look as tough and resolute as steel, giving people a feeling of cold light.

7. Qi Ying

Generally speaking, a person's jade is boasting of good head, high brightness and delicate texture. When the light penetrates this jade, a bright line will appear on the edge of the jade, which is what we call fluorescence. Generally, fluorescence is more likely to appear on jadeite with certain radian and curved surface.

8. Glue coating

As the name implies, gluing is similar to solidified glue, and the surface of jadeite flows like glue under the action of light. But not all jadeites can be glued, and all jadeite surfaces with good water head and fine texture can be glued.

9. dent

Pit has no specific concept. Some people say it refers to the difference in mineral deposits. In the process of handling and scouring, the original stone with fine species, sufficient water head and good color is called the old pit, and the opposite is called the new pit. Others said that it depends on the mining time of the deposit. Old pits are called early mining and long mining time, and new pits are called late mining and short mining time.

Of course, you may hear that the old pit is made of glass. The old pit and the new pit here mainly refer to the difference in materials. Generally, the material of the old cellar is very thin, with sufficient water head and good color, while the material of the new cellar is very thick, with short water head and large color difference. However, it should be noted that the old pit and the new pit are not absolute, they are two relative concepts.
