How can I tell fake jade from real jade?
1 Answer
There are a few ways to check the authenticity of jade. One way is to scratch the surface of your jade with steel. If it leaves a mark, it is likely not real. Also, check the texture. If there are any bubbles, this is another red flag. Shop a collection of expertly vetted gems and stones from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
