1, observe the appearance
The appearance characteristics of jadeite can provide some clues. Real jadeite usually has a unique emerald green, bright and full color, so we should pay attention to the transparency, texture and luster of jadeite.
2. Brightness and transparency
Real high-quality jadeite usually has good transparency and luster inside. Observing jadeite in reverse light, the real jadeite will show bright and uniform light.
3. Temperature sense
When you touch jade with your fingers, the real jade usually has a cool feeling, because jade has good thermal conductivity.
4. Echo test
When you hit jade, real jade usually makes a crisp and short sound. If the sound is dull and persistent, it may be fake, or it may be jade of poor quality.
5. Lighting test
When jadeite is irradiated by strong light source, we can observe the changes of texture and color of real jadeite from different angles, which is called jadeite seed water.
6. Professional evaluation
If you want a more accurate and professional appraisal, it is recommended to seek the help of a professional jewelry appraisal institution or an experienced jewelry appraiser. They can use professional equipment and technology to detect internal structure, chemical composition and color.
