I bought two Buddha and Guan and Jade pendants from Linda’s boutique as well. She was so nice when I spoke to her on the phone. I’m glad to hear that there is another person who shops at Linda’s boutique in San Francisco. I was quite doubtful if it was quality Jade although I have not gotten it tested for a second Opinion, but I did the other test and it seems like it is real. For the discounted price that she had for the pendants if they were not completely a grade, I would not be too upset about it.

I have a couple of pieces that belonged to my late wife. One is a cabochon ring. The other is a carved Buddha. I only considered them of modest value, but perhaps they are worth more than I suspect. The ring setting is prepared for two flanking baguettes that were never set. It might be that we left the Asian-Pacific region before the jeweler could finish the order, and she just picked it up as is.

I was actually unaware that people used to coolness test for jade jewelry until your videos/insta. I do not know much about the jewelry side of jadeite and nephrite but I know that the coolness tests probably came from when you are looking for raw/rough pieces they will be/stay cooler longer than other minerals around them. Especially when you hold them. I would imagine that applies even if it's a finished piece. Like you pretty much said doesn't mean it will constantly stay cool when it's next to body heat.

That’s actually a good thing you haven’t heard that! Lol. It’s commonly mentioned online when I google “how to tell if jade is real,” but *hopefully* it’s not a common belief in the trade. Thermal conductivity is measured by some handheld gem testing devices, so I agree there’s definitely some truth to it. :) In my experience though, quartz doesn’t feel noticeably colder than jade. They’re surprisingly difficult to distinguish sometimes!

Was wondering how reliable the specific gravity test is because I would assume the weight could be different depending on the amount of jade vs other minerals in the piece. Great video!
@JewelsoftheTrade
@JewelsoftheTrade Жыл бұрын
Hi there! Yes, I definitely recommend specific gravity tests, especially for rough. Jadeite’s specific gravity is 3.34, and will usually sink in methyl iodide (3.32 liquid). Due do it’s “lighter”, altered structure, ‘B’ jade often will rise. Not all natural jadeite sinks though, and some ‘B’ jade will sink - so it’s not 100% reliable. And unfortunately, it wouldn’t work for mounted jewelry. Many rockhounds use specific gravity to determine if their stone should be sent to a lab for further testing.

Oh, very interesting! I’ve never heard anything about jade being illegal in the states. However, you may be thinking of a US embargo against Myanmar/Burma - where a lot of jade comes from. This prohibits the US from trading with Myanmar/Burma directly, however, all of the Burmese jade that reaches the American market has come from China or Hong Kong so the embargo doesn’t actually affect the jade trade. Hope that helps!

Gosh even the B and C qualities are still pretty though. I think the real issue is what you mention: that lower quality is passed as higher quality pretty often. I've bought some quartzite bracelets because of their pretty color, knowing they definitely weren't Jade at that price. In fact, my favorite bangle is like that light green one you were testing with the knife! I don't mind getting a lower grade bracelet as long as the price matches. Hopefully one day I can invest in some jade jewelry someday.

Hi Sophia! I would definitely research the seller if it’s not someone you already know. For example, it may be a brick-and-mortar store that also has an etsy shop - so you could read Google reviews and even call the store. There are natural jade sellers on etsy, but most online sellers claiming to offer “A Jade” are not telling the truth, though many of them don’t know it. My recommendation is to talk to your local jeweler about this. Your jeweler has the experience and resources to help you with this, and is a much more reliable source than an unfamiliar online seller. Hope that helps!

Due do it’s “lighter”, altered structure, ‘B’ jade often will rise. Not all natural jadeite sinks though, and some ‘B’ jade will sink. We recommend using SG in conjunction with other testing. SG is also only for loose stones, never mounted. Many gemologists use SG in the field to determine which specimens to send in for assay, so it is certainly useful for rough!

Hi there! Guatemalan jadeite is known for it’s blue-grey colors but can come in a variety including green, lilac and more. From what I understand, a lot of the translucent material is highly fractured - so the icy pieces are very rare. As a rule, Burmese jadeite is valued higher at this time but of course, it depends on the piece. You might be interested in my Types of Jade series with Freshwater Jade, which includes a video on Guatemalan Jade, and hopefully we’ll be adding more videos on that material soon. :)

How exciting! I would love to go one day. Shop with a seller you can trust and remember that “certs” (gem reports) aren’t always legitimate. Unfortunately, there aren’t any at-home / on-the-go tests that are truly reliable - but a strong frame of reference can go a long way. The more jade you’ve seen (natural and treated!) the better your eye will be for detecting treatments and fakes. Additionally, jade has a certain “feel” to it. If you don’t interact with a lot of jade in person, however, it’s impossible to hone this skill. And of course, look and feel (even for the experienced professional) is not always reliable. When it comes to jade - you really have to lean on the expertise of the seller. Trust is everything.

Hi there! Thank you for your comment! Yes, unfortunately, there is no reliable “at-home” test for identifying natural jadeite. Your piece would have to be professionally tested by a gemologist with access to advanced testing. This only takes a couple of weeks and really isn’t very expensive, so I highly recommend reaching out to Mason-Kay about their testing services. If it’s a piece you haven’t bought yet, it should come with a report if the jeweler claims it is natural jadeite jade. Nephrite jade is less often treated and wouldn’t necessarily require a report unless it’s very valuable. I recommend talking to the seller to understand what it is you’re buying, whether or not it’s treated, and how they can guarantee it’s natural (in the case of jadeite.) Hope that helps!

@@ascensionalliancehawaii Hi! I did some research into the hair burning test. Per Richard Hughes, it is true that hair won’t burn if wrapped around jade, but this is also true for hair in contact with any crystalline material. This means you can use this test to separate gemstones from glass, but it is not an indicator that the stone is jade and can not distinguish between natural and treated. Hope that helps!

Oh no!!! Just because it isn’t jade, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be cherished. :) Beautiful jewelry has meaning whether it’s natural or treated, real or costume.

What about the hair and fire test? Does Quart too have the ability as the jade? The moral of the story in this video is that they do not have any absolute test method to determine the quality of the jade or so call jade. The only way to find out is to purchase the jade and sent it out to this video sponsor and they will tell you what you need to know. What the point to further test the jade that you have already buy? The best solution is NOT to buy any jade. If you were to buy, then accept as it is since that jade piece have capture your attention at purchasing it.

The solution is to shop with a trustworthy, vetted seller. The reality is - there is no reliable home testing method to determine the authenticity of natural jade. That’s just the way it is, you can blame science - it’s the sophistication of jade treatment that makes home identification impossible. The hair test can only distinguish non-crystalline material from crystalline material (i.e. it can eliminate glass as a suspect), but it can not help you determine if a stone is jade and especially not if it’s treated. The internet has given customers a false understanding of home jade testing, and the truth is - no home methods works. Jade has to be tested.

Hi there! Yes I have :) I actually have a number of videos about Guatemalan jadeite jade. You might be interested in our video The History of Jade in Guatemala, which feature excerpts from our interview with Mary Lou Ridinger, who re-discovered the stone with her husband in the 1970s.
