From the current jewelry wear, people began to pursue the wearing of jewelry, but there is a lack of knowledge about the purchase and collection of amber jewelry. Then, the small series of China Jewelry Merchants Network will solve this problem for you.
Amber is a resin fossil that is buried in the ground under the tens of millions of years of pine resin, and is formed by a certain chemical change. It is an organic mineral. Amber is crystal clear, bright like pearls, and color like agate. Legend has the function of shunning the sinister, guarding the town and soothe the nerves, and is deeply loved by collectors. To falsify the truth is the most important purpose of identifying amber and other jewels and jade. Therefore, it is especially important to understand the characteristics of true amber and its imitations.
There are several types of imitations: glass, plastics, resins (residual resins such as Coba resin) and synthetics. Imitations are called imitations because they mimic some of the characteristics of the real thing, and the look and feel are similar to the real thing.
1. Experiment: The natural amber texture is very light, and it will sink to the bottom when you put it (without any inlays) into the water. But you will add dissolved brine to it. When the salt concentration is greater than 1 to 4 (1 part salt, 4 parts water), the real amber will slowly float, and the fake amber will not float.
2. Sound: Amber chain or beads without inlays in your hands will make a soft, slightly dull sound. If the sound of plastic or resin will be crisper.
3. Smell: Amber rough without fine grinding, you can smell a special scent when you heat it by hand. The aroma of white beeswax is slightly heavier than other common amber, so it is called "Samper". In general, amber that has been finely polished or engraved by hand is difficult to smell by hand rubbing.
4. Eyes: This is a trick to identify true and false amber. The texture, color depth, transparency, and refractive index of true amber will change with observation angle and illuminance. Amber is transparent but very moist, not as unobstructed as glass, crystal, or diamond. Fake amber is either very transparent or opaque, with a color that is dead and fake.
The collection and maintenance of true amber is particular
Amber jewelry is afraid of high temperature. It should not be placed in the sun for a long time or at the edge of the stove. If the air is too dry, cracks may occur. Try to avoid strong fluctuations in temperature. Try not to contact it with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, and organic solutions such as nail polish, perfume, hair spray, and insecticide containing alcohol. Remove the amber jewellery when spraying perfume or hair spray.
Amber rubbing against hard objects can cause rough surfaces and fine marks, so do not use a hard object such as a brush or a toothbrush to clean the amber. When the amber is stained with dust and sweat, soak it in warm water with a neutral detergent, rinse it with your hands, wipe it with a soft cloth, and finally add a small amount of olive oil or tea. Lightly wipe the amber surface and later use a cloth to remove excess oil to restore shine. The best way to maintain amber is to wear it for a long time, because the body oil can make the amber more shiny.
In summary, the amber identification and collection rules, I believe everyone knows, please pay attention to China Jewelry Merchants Network for more details.
