How
to buy jade jewelry:
Did
you know there are three types of jade?
Type
A Jade:
Type
A jade, natural, untreated jade, only undergoes a traditional process,
including plum juice washing and polishing with beewax. These procedures
are internationally recognized as standard practice and are not defined
as "artificial treatments". It is not disguised with any dirt
picking, high temperature or high-pressure treatments. The color is natural,
so they are called "true color".
Type
B Jade:
Type
B jade, bleached, polymer impregnated jade. To distinguish Type B jade,
you need to know the structure of jade as well as the principle and procedure
of the processing of Type B jade.
The
quality of this kind of jade is not natural, its structure integrity has
been damaged and become loose. The artificially treated Type B jade will
become unstable and discolor after a certain period of time since heat
or household detergent will break down the polymer.
Type
C Jade:
Not
only the Type C jade has been chemically bleached to remove impurities,
it has been dyed to enhance its color. The color will be very rich but
will not retain its brilliant coloration and will discolor after certain
period because the chemical used on treatment is not stable. The transparency
and equality will be loose under strong light, body heat or household detergent.
