How to accurately evaluate the "water head" of jade

Accurately evaluating the "water head" of jade is an important link in the appreciation and purchase of jade, which is directly related to the transparency and overall quality of jade. Here are some practical methods and tips for assessing the "water head" of jade:


Second-hand jewelryUnder natural light or strong light, observe the transparency of jade. The jade with good water head should have good light transmission, and the light can penetrate the inside of the jade, showing a crystal clear texture. On the contrary, the jade with the difference of water head appears cloudy and unclear.


The use of strong light sources (such as flashlights) from the back of the emerald to observe the spread of light in the emerald. The deeper the light passes through the emerald, the longer its water head. This method can intuitively judge the transparency of jadeite.


Good jade head, color should be evenly distributed, no spots or variegations. Jadeite with uniform color and bright color usually has better water head. Observe the luster of the jade surface. The surface of jade with good water head is glossy like a mirror, and the reflective effect is obvious. This luster not only enhances the beauty of the jade, but also is one of the good performances of its water head.


The texture of jade with good water head is fine and even, and it feels smooth and grainless when touched. And rough texture, uneven jade may be poor water head. Use a magnifying glass and other tools to observe the internal structure of the jade. The internal structure of the jade with good water head is tight and delicate, without obvious cracks and impurities. These features help the propagation and reflection of light inside the emerald, thereby enhancing its transparency.


For the situation that can not be accurately judged, you can seek the help of jade experts for professional testing. They usually use microscopy and other tools to observe the internal structure and color distribution of the jade, and through density testing, ultraviolet irradiation and other methods to further confirm the authenticity of the jade and water head.


Through long-term contact and observation of different qualities of jadeite, gradually accumulate the experience of assessing water head. This includes an in-depth understanding and understanding of the transparency of different types, colors and textures of jadeite.


Some people think that the longer the water head of jade, the better, but in fact, this is not the case. Too long water head may lead to jade color is too light, affecting the appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment combined with the actual situation when evaluating the jade head.


In the purchase of jade, in addition to paying attention to the water head situation, but also need to pay attention to the kind of jade, color, work and other quality factors. At the same time, choose a reputable merchant to buy to ensure that you get value for money jade jewelry.


Accurate evaluation of the "water head" of jadeite requires comprehensive judgment and analysis from many aspects. By observing the transparency, color and gloss, texture and structure, and by using professional testing methods, the water head of jadeite can be more accurately assessed.

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....
