Re: An old Chinese Jade Bangle Bracelet |
Posted By: Anita Mui Posted Date: Jul 16, 2009 (10:55 AM) |
Message Dear May It's modern, and may be not true jade. Possibly a dyed and sand blown Peking glass, the lustre is not right. Hardness test with iron it will pass, Peking glass is harder than iron, air bubbles is hard to find in the piece because modern forgery can inject melted glass into the mold and compress to release the air out. Buy a hanging scale to perform SG test. Have fun Anita Post a Response |
