What is emerald water?

The "water" of jade is a professional term, which mainly refers to the light transmission intensity and permeability of jade, also known as "water head". This is the external manifestation of the microphysical properties of jadeite, and is closely related to the texture, structure, structure, impurity elements and other factors of jadeite.


Beautiful earringsThe "water" of jade can be understood as the degree of transparency and water content of jade. When the crystal particles of jade are delicate enough, uniform and compact, the light can spread and reflect better inside the jade, forming a high transparency and watery feeling, which is the performance of water head and foot. On the contrary, if the jade crystal particles are coarse or disorderly, the light will be hindered in the propagation process, resulting in reduced transparency, which is the performance of poor water head or insufficient water.


The factors affecting the "water" of jadeite are the species of jadeite: the species is an important indicator of jadeite, which determines the internal structure and texture of jadeite. A good jade, its crystal particles are fine, uniform arrangement, conducive to the propagation and reflection of light, thereby improving the transparency of the jade. Species and water are interdependent and influence each other, and good species are often accompanied by good water head.


Structure and construction of jadeite: The structure and construction of jadeite also affect its transparency. Jadeite with tight structure has fewer impurities and cracks, which is conducive to the penetration and reflection of light. The jade with loose structure may have more impurities and cracks inside, which will hinder the propagation of light and reduce transparency.


Impurity elements and minerals of jadeite: Impurity elements (such as iron, manganese, chromium, etc.) and mineral inclusions inside jadeite also affect its transparency. These impurities and minerals absorb or scatter light, reducing the transparency of the emerald.


The color of jade: the color depth will also affect the permeability of jade. Generally speaking, the lighter color of jadeite transparency is higher; And darker jade, its transparency may be affected to a certain extent.


The thickness of the jade: The thickness of the jade will also affect its transparency. Thinner jadeite flakes tend to be more transparent; Thicker jadeite may reduce transparency due to multiple internal reflections and refractions of light.


In addition to the "water" of the jade itself, various types of water are also used in the processing of the jade. The water is mainly used for cleaning the jade raw stone, grinding and polishing the jade surface and other processes. Common jadeite processing water includes mineral water, purified water, distilled water and honey water. These water sources can remove impurities, brighten luster and increase transparency in the processing of jadeite.


The "water" of jadeite is the manifestation of the transparency and water content of jadeite, which is affected by many factors such as the species, structure, structure, impurity elements, color and thickness of jadeite. At the same time, various types of water are also used in the processing of jadeite to assist the processing process. Understanding the "water" of jade is of great significance to the appreciation and purchase of jade.

What is the difference between jade and chalcedony in value evaluation

Image
There are significant differences between Qingshui jade and chalcedony in value evaluation, mainly reflected in the following aspects: Women's jewelry As a gem of jadeite, Qingshui jade is highly respected for its unique color and texture. Its output is relatively small, and high-quality Qingshui jade is a scarce resource. In the market, Qingshui jade has a high market recognition, especially high-quality Qingshui jade, is often regarded as the best collection and investment. Chalcedony is also a kind of gem, but its output is relatively large, and the market supply is more adequate. The market recognition of chalcedony may be slightly lower than that of aqua jadeite, especially in the high-end jewelry market. The color of green jade is clear as water and bright green. The brighter and more uniform the color, the higher its value. Its appearance is shiny and bright, with glass luster, which can reflect light well and show the brilliance of gems. Although the color of chalcedony is...

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....

Gold bracelet scratches How to choose the right toothpaste

Image
When choosing the right toothpaste, you need to pay attention to the following aspects: Find beautiful earrings, necklaces & bracelets Type of toothpaste preferred Non-abrasive toothpaste is preferred because abrasive toothpaste may contain tiny particles that may cause further scratches or wear on the surface of the gold bracelet during the wiping process.Choose toothpastes with mild ingredients and avoid toothpastes that contain bleach, special chemicals, or strong cleaners, which may have adverse effects on gold bracelets. Choose toothpaste brands that are well known in the market, which usually undergo strict quality control, have relatively safe ingredients, and have less potential damage to gold bracelets. Refer to other consumer reviews and feedback to understand the effects of toothpaste in actual use and possible problems. Squeeze out the appropriate amount of toothpaste, not too much, so as not to waste and create unnecessary foam during the wiping process. Use a soft clo...
