How to judge the species of jadeite by luster

Judging the species of jadeite by luster is an intuitive and effective method. The luster of jadeite is not only related to its surface polishing degree, but also closely related to internal factors such as its internal structure and crystal arrangement tightness. Here are some key points to determine the other types of jade by luster:


Stylish jewelry and decorThe glass luster is bright and sharp, the reflection surface is as bright as glass, and the reflection point is concentrated and does not diverge. Common in high-quality jadeite, such as glass jadeite, its surface luster is very strong, transparent and pure like glass.


Corresponding glass jade: high quality, transparency close to glass, bright as a mirror. High ice jade: although the transparency is slightly inferior to the glass, its luster is also very good, close to the glass luster.


Sub-glass gloss characteristics: the gloss is slightly lower than the glass gloss, but still bright and soft. Common in some good quality jadeite, such as some ice kind jadeite and waxy ice kind jadeite.


Corresponding ice jade: higher transparency, gloss close to glass, but slightly soft. Waxy ice jade: between waxy and ice, gloss is good, with a certain transparency.


Grease luster characteristics: glossy warm, delicate, the surface looks oily, but not real grease. It is commonly found in jadeite with fine texture, such as fine glutinous jadeite and some oil green jadeite.


Corresponding to the fine waxy kind of jade: fine crystal, glossy warm as oil.

Oil green jade: dark green color, with oil immersion, soft luster.


Waxy luster characteristics: low gloss, poor transmission, the surface looks slightly dull and rough. It is commonly found in jadeite with poor germplasm, such as bean jadeite and some white and green jadeite.


Corresponding bean seed jadeite: coarse crystal particles, low gloss, waxy luster. Green jadeite on white background (part) : fine texture but not high transparency, gloss may be slightly waxy.


In addition to the above common luster, there are some special luster jadeite species:


Rigid luster: common in very high quality jadeite, such as some glass jadeite at a specific Angle may show a metallic rigid luster.


Light: High-grade jade may show a soft, white light effect under specific light, which is due to the internal crystallization of the jade after the light is reflected in the internal formation.


To judge the type of jade, it is necessary to consider a variety of factors, such as transparency, texture, color, etc. Different kinds of jadeite may have similar luster characteristics, so it is necessary to distinguish carefully when judging. The gloss is greatly affected by the degree of polishing, so it is necessary to consider the polishing of the jade when judging.


Judging the species of jadeite by luster is an intuitive and effective method, but it requires a certain amount of professional knowledge and experience accumulation. When buying jadeite, it is recommended to consult professionals and carefully observe the object to make an accurate judgment.

How to judge the clarity of a diamond by fire color

Image
It is limited to judge the clarity of the diamond directly through the fire color, because the fire color is mainly the comprehensive performance of the diamond cutting, the refraction and reflection of the light inside the diamond, and the clarity refers to the number and size of the internal and external defects of the diamond. However, the strength of the fire color can indirectly reflect some information about the clarity of the diamond, but it needs to be considered in combination with other factors. Second-hand jewelry Diamonds with high clarity (such as FL, IF grades) have few internal defects, light spreads more smoothly inside the diamond, and the reflection and refraction effect are better, which may show a more intense fire color. Diamonds with lower clarity have more internal flaws, which will hinder the propagation of light and cause the fire color to weaken. Especially when the flaw is located in the key parts of the diamond (such as the countertop, crown main facet, etc....
