2010-08-31 10:37:33
There are so many jade bracelets in the jewelry stores, which vary a lot in value. Among them, quite a jade bracelet is fake. So you should pay attention and ensure the jewelry you pay for is real. It is easy for jade collectors and professional people to identify the jade by its color or other properties. However, for most of us, we can still employ other methods to test if a jade bracelet is counterfeit.
1.Take a steal knife to scratch a small area of the stone. Because real jade is harder than steel, it cannot scratch. Otherwise, it may be fake. But when you are making a buying, the seller is usually reluctant to do this.
2.Run your finger around the jade bracelet. Since jade is quite smooth by its nature, you are supposed to feel no bumps.
3.Listen to the sound of soft clash. Put on a jade bracelet in each hand, and put them together carefully. Pay attention to the pitch of the sound they make. Do the above with two glass bracelets. The pitch of jade bracelets is higher than that of the glass.
4.Put the bracelet in your fist closely in order to warm the stone with your body temperature. Then put it down. After 30 seconds, you touch the part of stone which you held in the palm with the end of your tongue. The stone is likely original if it feels cool.
Due to the properties of the jade, you can try the above ways to make sure the jade bracelet is not fake. In one word, take the above four points into consideration when you buy jade bracelet , then you can identify the real jade easily.
