Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020There are several tests, such as a scratch, hardness, or density test you can do at home, but the best way to authenticate jade is to take it to a gemologist or lab, such as GIA, for certification.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There 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.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a couple of different ways to identify real jade. The most common is the scratch test: if the jade scratches easily, it may not be real. Real jade is also cool to the touch and doesn’t warm easily. When in doubt, work with a certified gemologist to determine the authenticity of your jade ring. You’ll find a variety of expertly vetted jade jewelry pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022One way to tell if jade is real or fake is to scratch it in an inconspicuous area with a needle or a knife. Authentic jade is unlikely to scratch, while a clear mark will usually form on fakes. The only way to know for sure if a piece is real jade is to have it examined by a licensed appraiser. Shop a range of expertly vetted jade jewelry and decorative objects on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if dzi beads are real, inspect the surface of the bead. The pattern on real dzi beads is not surface level and should not look like it was painted on, nor can it be scratched off. Shop a selection of expertly vetted dzi beads on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024To tell if your Murano beads are real, search for the maker's hallmark. Then, research whether that particular maker is from Murano, Italy, and compare the markings shown in images of authentic pieces shared by trusted online resources with what's on your glass beads. Because there are many convincing fakes on the market, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable dealer for assistance with authentication. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Murano glass.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if beads are real gold, you can try placing a magnet near them. If you observe an attraction, your beads are either gold-plated or crafted out of base metal, as solid gold alloys used to produce jewelry aren't usually magnetic. Hallmarks on a clasp may also help you identify real gold. Some makers will use the abbreviation “K” preceded by a number, such as “14K” or “18K,” to signify real gold. Others use a three-digit number representing the gold percentage in the alloy. For example, “585” indicates that a piece is 14-karat gold, while “750” indicates 18-karat gold. If you need further assistance identifying the material, a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help. Shop a wide range of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
